NFL Regular Season 2017 - Page 78 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

politics and sport are completely linked. it's duuuumb to think otherwise.

but arguing that racial preconceptions play a part in sports and other talent evaluations isn't even political.

If you want to talk about that make your own Sports Justice Warriors thread.

Is Watson going to be ready for the start of the season? The rest of the post is Lol. How many teams have never started a black qb?

I'd bet a lot of teams view Tyrod like Buffalo does. I was also referring to as a starter only; of which if you have anything to refute my post you are more than welcome to provide such evidence.

Never is just the giants, but in terms of guys who they actually wanted to start (ie not backups getting random starts due to injury or the team is god awful so what the hell) that list increases a fair bit.

The excuse of Buffalo benching Tyrod "because we have high aspirations this season" when they definitely weren't trying to win before it started is irritating.

If they just wanted to see what peterman can do whatever, Patriots x 2, @ Chiefs, and Dolphins x 2, hey maybe the dolphins won't rush for 500 yards in 2 games on them this year.

Didn't realize we were TRIGGERING so many people. I would have thought your delicate constitutions could have handled the idea that black quarterbacks are held to a different standard.

Me, I would just ignore people who keep posting stuff I don't want to read, but I suppose having a public cry over it is an approach, too. It certainly helps me to know who the snowflakes are on this forum.

Did a tall white kid beat you out as qb when you were little?

What's weird is how many of you can't perceive of any reason to be anti-racist except some psychological underpinning. Anyway, thanks for outing yourself.

I mean all this "everyone knows it's really racism" is crazy when Kaep and Tyrod have terrible metrics AND were given the chance to start in the first place.

I think Kap is good and Tyrod sucks. Not sure where that puts me politically.

I want Tyrod to openly complain and demand his release then see which if any teams want him right now.

Also, Nath I'm on your side but maybe just don't fight with the trolls or engage them at all. If someone brings stats or real data or even just an earnest but civil disagreement by all means fight the good fight but don't sink to returning fire with fire.

Meh. If anyone wants to respond honestly, sure, I'll have a civil discussion, but if people want to attack my character and psychology for the horrible, horrible crime of "pointing out racism" then they deserve to be ridiculed-- once, anyway; I don't think there's much point to dragging out the discussion, but a side effect is that I do get to find out who's not worth listening or talking to.

I don't understand how benching Tyrod is racist when he replaced EJ Manuel. If the Bills are racist, they're going about it the wrong way

Yes but if he reads the article he may be forced to develop a balanced perspective on this issue and that’s clearly not a priority

it'd be zero then, nothing teams hate more than when players start demanding things.

Anyway, Peterman probably blows and lol bills. The Bills so far have traded away good players for no reason and acquired bad players for no reason, they're my early favorite for worst in the league who isn't the browns next season.

None of the decision makers from tyrod vs ej manuel are still there (except owner who's popular but doesnt seem like he knows what he's doing but hey that's more than most other teams), so that point is moot.
