Seriously he didn’t say anything most scouts can’t say out loud for fear of losing their jobs.

And to anyone that rips on Dukes I would point out you don’t make a living working for the NFL Network I respect his opinion.

Some white dudes in this thread are getting way too bent out of shape about some perceived double-standards in racial (not racist) comments about a white athlete, forgetting that – as white men – they benefit from virtually all double standards.

Some people get way too bent out of shape about racial (not racist) comments in relation to black athletes, thus allowing aforementioned white dudes to get their panties in a bunch. At least these people can point to hundreds of years of slavery and oppression.

Solution: Fire Jamie dukes, not because he’s racist but because he sucks. Black people, get over yourselves and learn to let idle racial comments pass. White people, SERIOUSLY get over yourselves and let idle racial comments pass. Problem solved.

Well if you said it like you spell, he was probably wondering what nerve you have to talk…. Jamie was right in what he said. Mallet is a little more hood than the other “caucasian” qb’s in the league and it gets exagerated because he is white. If he was black he would just have a little swagger. If anything it is white media people and scouts that act like his attitude is a problem. He’s probably cool with black folks.

PRIDE OF FSU!

Jaime Dukes looks like a Hostess Cupcake Guy….

And, based on the time Dukes was with the Packers – maybe long enough to have a cup of coffee – or a glass of chocolate milk … it was pretty apparent – he couldn’t run either.

I disagree. I don’t “think it” whatever it is. I do agree about the sensitive line. Most of these comments aren’t directed at the actual comment, they are directed at the double standard.

No, a “race card” is a “device” every african UNamerican pulls out, every time they don’t get, what they want, when they want it or when they’re asked to take the same advancement test that everyone else takes or when they lose their job, do to their own gross incompetance or lack of responcibility or work ethic and sometimes when they just have no other excuse or answer for any of their actions or lack there of.
Most of the time it’s to deflect blame, because the black culture embraces illiterate behavior.

How is his statement racist in any way? He compared a white guy to some other white guys with similar style. get over yourself

GBfan,… Don Imus repeated a phrase once comparing. Whats good for one race should be good for the other,… unless of course it’s reverse discrimination, but that cannot be can it? No, No, not that…

Of course they didn’t. It’s more fun to claim “reverse racism” and champion the “angry, held down white man” cause rather than actually watch the video or comprehend what he said.

What’s funny is most of the buffoons here have made Dukes point for him by their comments on this post and in the past because they’ve drawn a million conclusions about Mallet being dumb, lazy, and irresponsible because he appears to be an urban type of player.

Therefore he could never be a good football player and needlessly incurs the wrath of what these strange white Americans see as ideal.

It’s 2011, yet people are still judging books by their cover and continually showing how moronic they truly are.

and yes teambringitstrong- thanks.

worstposterever – same thing has happened to me numerous times as well, but these guys here have no agenda. yep, sure…
