Around the NFL Championship Weekend

[Monkeydad]

I just love how so many people think in terms of skin color first and in every situation.

A raving lunatic is a raving lunatic no matter what color his skin is. Incognito is a thug and Sherman behaves like one too, not because he looks like Busta Rhymes and "scares" white people when he yells, because he's always picking fights on and off the field. He's had on-field fights, fights on Twitter (how mature) and he's been popped for cheating (PEDs).

My favorite athletes of all time just happen to have the same tone of skin...Monk, Green, Portis, Sean Taylor, Barry Sanders, Magic Johnson, Muggsy Bogues. Michael Jordan, Frank Thomas, Bo Jackson, Jim Thome, Paul Konerko...OK, most of them.

My distaste for players like Sherman, Dez Bryant, DeSean Jackson, Colin Kaepernick, Cam Newton, Tom Brady and others have nothing to do with race, it's how they behave, handle or present themselves.

I really believe the ones that cry racism around every corner are really the ones preoccupied with race. I won't go as far as calling you the name, but you see where I'm going...

This is why I'm also so sick of the media and politicians' fight over our "racist" team name. I've never seen it as racist because I know what it actually stands for and the history behind it. The ignorant of our society, no matter how educated or who they work for, seem to be the ones who be able to find racism in the name Redskins. Not even Native Americans, who are supposed to be offended, see the hate in the name. Only those with an agenda do.

Yeah, because your view of what he said and the response to it in the media is the only viable one and race had nothing, nothing at all, to do with anything here.

Please.

I just love how so many people are willfully blind to what is instead of dealing with it frankly.

And I don't give two tin craps what you want to imply that I am, because I can see that if that's what you're reduced to, your argument is prima facie empty to begin with.

Doh, indeed.
