You just used Cosell to support your arguement? The same Cosell that said “look at the monkey go on MNF”

Come on Man!!!!

Cosell did not say that in a racial context, he meant nothing by it. Cosell referred to white athletes before as the same, he would even say it to his son. Cosell was one of Muhammed Ali’s biggest supporters, even when whites looked down on him, he was known for being a big supporter of black athletes. He didnt mean anything racial by what he said on that MNF game.

We white folks lost the monopoly on racism long ago.

Please just consider this – in less than 50 years we have gone from Bull Connor to Barack Obama.

No. You are not invincible and you are no that smart. This stuff is going to end , and it is going to end in my lifetime.

I understand the analogy. And, as in the case of the battered wife, it is the WIFE that needs to get the counseling, not the new husband.

None of you…NOT ONE of you sociology experts have ever faced the kind of institutional Overt Racism that Mr Moon has faced. Being told despite being a classic pocket qb coming out of UWashington with the best throwing arm in his class by miles. Having to leave your country to play the game that you were the Best at. Gathering yourself like a Man and forcefully breaking down the doors of the NFL and becoming a HOF!

Thanks for all of your emotional, maintain the status quo, Warren Moon is just a communist agitator type rantings. Bit I’ll trust him on this subject.

But as the son of Irish and eastern European parents show me the same effort towards telling their treatment when settling in America. One set of great grandparents came to escape famine in Ireland. The other from persecution of Catholics. Both spent generations in the coal mines in Pennsylvania and treated like dirt. Show me their story in any school history book or an upcoming mini-series from Hollywood.

The fact that anyone should take you serious or even anything printed on this site as serious journalism is laughable. You sit so arrogantly and admitting that you simply regurgitate the same ish with different player is troubling. Yet you make your accusations against Cam sound like it was a well investigated and researched one. When all you did was pull out your last extreme attack and inserted Cam’s name. I guess Cam’s coach was right, you did meet Cam with an agenda.

This is what has become of Sports Journalism. Your arrogance is simply unbelievable. What happen to the days of Howard Cosell and sports writers and reports who knew their place and weren’t intentionally trying to do and say anything to get their name in the papers? Sadly, they are replaced by attention loving, TMZ style thinking morons, who now will say and do anything to get a knee jerk reaction from their audience.

Take a bow Mr. Nolan. Your attack on Cam is exactly what those in the media wanted and will run with. While their sheeplings regurgitate your comments all over various other sites as if it’s a fact. All this attack, ridculing and maligning of this kid is done for no other reason than to give teams more reason to choose Blain over Cam. Warren Moon is right..It seems you sports writers have taken the liberty to cross any boundaries you please if it helps with your agenda, including malicious and deceitful character assassination. Not surprising that you and your elite media friends are way to blind to see that your wrong. It took a long time for this society to realize segregation, bigotry, and racism was wrong cause they had their own telling them that it was OKAY. I hope Blaine Gabbert sends you that “THANK YOU” Card. You and Tom Condon’s other elite media friends are doing a great job on keeping the negative spotlight on Cam while Blaine gets a free ride to the top of the draft board. BTY, I’ll be patiently waiting for your draft review on Blaine and the other QBs.

Secondly, my family imigrated to the US a few decades ago and there is still some biased against me and my family. I do not care what people’s perception of me are. I simply do my job, work hard, and the rest will take care of itself. I am NOT A VICTIM! I have been given a great opportunity in this country and I will do EVERYTHING I can to succeed at whatever it is I am doing, even if that means overcoming some negative stereotypes. I’ve found that having this attitude has had a much more positive impact on my life than simply crying out foul anytime I feel I have been disrespected or discriminated against. I’m just tired hearing about how everyone is a victim…

Everytime I hear these false accusations of the racism, it reminds me of the parable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf… whenever it actually does happen for real, no one will believe it.

“As long as people keep playing the race card for every little thing, racism will never go away.”

The very people who cry about it the most (Rev’s Jackson, Sharpton, et al) are the same ones who make a living out of keeping it alive.

They don’t want it to end – that would mean the end of their gravy trains, and then they’d have to go out and actually find jobs.

Except… according to my wife…

Me!

“A recently single woman starts dating a very loud and expressive man, that can’t stand still when he talks and talks with his hands. ”

Sorry, it’s more like dating a calm guy who goes to reach for the remote control and sends her diving for cover.

You see, you can use any analogy you want to make your point seem more valid. But, given that they assess, positively and negatively, hundreds of players each year for the past 20 years, this is not an example of an “expressive” talker, this is simply business as usual.

The real problem here is that black people have recently got to watch two very high profile black quarterbacks, Jamarcus Russell and Vince Young, wash out of the league for the same behavior that Cam newton is being accused of. At a time when Donovan McNabb is aging and on the decline, the highest profile black QB is a former felon, and Tavaris Jackson and Troy Smith managed to secure their backup roles last season……there is a silent clamoring for a fresh young high profile black QB. So any insinuation that Cam Newton can’t be that player is met with hostility.

Personally, I think Josh Freeman is spectacular. But he’s a pocket passer…….the same as every other highly effective QB in the league. I guess Jalen Rose might call him an Uncle Tom Brady.

At any rate, I don’t think you get this reaction during a typical year.

I think Warren knows a thing or two about racism.

Also, you need to be aware of the fact that you are NOT the only people that have ever faced adversity! The jewish population has had an extremely difficult history. Guess who the black plague was blamed on? The jews. They were killed to the point of extinction in many parts of europe. Same goes with world war II. If you have ever been to a concentration camp, then you would know the horrors those people had to endure.

Now that is not to say african americans didn’t suffer tremendously through slavery, and through racism. I don’t mean in any way to discount the tremendous suffering that has been endured. But just know you aren’t the only people to have suffered. This can be a very cruel world, and certainly has been throughout history. But it doesn’t help to move forward when the race card is thrown about for every single issue that ever occurs. Not all issues are racially motivated.

Boo freaking hoo for the black man who comprises 90% of the NBA and 70% of the NFL. One guy in one magazine doesn’t think that he’s got the mind to play the most mentally challenging position in sports and we need to conjure up the ghost of MLK, Jr?

Is that played in pocker?

Why do white people use that term when an African American calls them out?

You are what you are.

If the NFL is about the most race-free area in our society why do have to be force into interviewing minority candidates ?
