One hundred percent correct.
(Again) Why didn't Fixing Inc. arrange for one of the black QBs to win the last Super Bowl?
Gerhart has given up three years behind Peterson and this is a lot for a RB.
Peyton Manning has been criticized many times on the Forum for "not speaking out against the Caste System."
Yep, and for a long time they compared any white WR with any speed to Lance Alworth. When Kirk Gibson played football (1978) at Michigan State, draft guru Joel Buschbaum called Gibson a "big Lance...
When I first began to follow sports around 1958, Jackie Robinson was well known, but race was not as central to every story back then, believe it or not.
I may have posted this anecdote years...
I had corresponded with Lawrence Auster since 2001. He once told me that he was a pretty big sports fan until the late 1960's, less so afterward. Baseball was Lawrence Auster's favorite sport.

What's good for laughs are posters dumber than a sack of hammers.
A commenter explained that Jerry Kramer got the wood in his body from a freak accident while working on a barn. The shotgun wound was from a hunting accident. I recall a Sport magazine piece on...
I saw a special about the case on the Investigative Discovery Channel a few days ago. It was titled something like "Beauty and the Blade Runner." It will be repeated on Saturday morning March 9 at...
His name was Alger Hiss, not Albert Hiss. The JFK Conspiracy believers are always good for laughs.
Funny thing, I can't count the number of times I've seen Notre Dame (or sometimes Ronald Reagan) criticized because the real George Gipp wasn't the way he was portrayed in "Knute Rockne...
A college professor acquaintance of mine told me a few years ago how glad he was that today's white college students "aren't racist like their parents and grandparents."
I then asked him why this...
The "libertarians" never understand that open borders results in a population totally dependant on the state. I've come to believe it is either sheer stupidity by the so-called libertarians or a...
If Dorner wanted to shoot it out with the LAPD and go down with guns blazing, he could have already done so, or still could. Instead, he seems to be in hiding, probably with assistance.
The least skeptical and most gullible people in the world are those who believe in conspiracies.
Absolutely. Furthermore, only three black QBs have ever started a Super Bowl game. I've written many times on the Forum how sportswriters, columnists, and TV talking heads have pushed the issue since...
As said before on the Forum, Jim Plunkett was never considered a "minority" QB. He was thought of as white during his playing career.
I recall Izenberg back in the 1960's. He was one of the writers from those days who wrote often about black ball players and prizefighters.
I've seen them all. The first championship game I recall viewing was the 1958 Colt-Giant "Sudden Death" game.
A funny thing about Super Bowl I in January 1967 was that hardly anybody outside of...
Yawn. I was mocking ESPN for their concern about Jackson being "forgotten." By your own account, you are too stupid to understand or appreciate irony.
I started the thread hoping Johnny Manziel...
The Heisman Trophy will be presented tonight (Saturday December 8) on ESPN at 8pm ET. Right after, ESPN has a "30 for 30" on Bo Jackson. The theme is that Bo is in danger of being forgotten after...
The Barry Sanders episode premieres tonight (Wednesday) and runs the rest of the week.
I came across another MSM commentator who endorsed Whitlock's column with the "I don't always agree with Whitlock" qualification. It was probably for the same reason.
If Peterson is healthy and going well, he is going to play almost every down.
