He's having some fun with some of the things we all see and hear. 6'4" white receivers are compared to Welker, and it's just stupid. He also picked up on some caste-speak, referencing "scrappy" and "deceptive speed". My impression is that he was mocking the media more than the white players. Still pretty annoying, but I laughed a couple of times.

seems to me he's definitely making fun of the media and their way of describing white receivers.. he says something like "people don't realize that Shipley, just like Wes Welker, is fast" and then launches into making fun of various way of how whites speed is always sneaky and deceptive... he then says that a black guy who'd go to scholar's camp would be considered as out of place as a white guy at receivers camp "aren't you supposed to be over there, with the tight ends?"

He seems similar to the "shock" comedians of the 70's who got popular like Richard Pryor or George Carlin. I think he was poking fun of the stereotype and the athleticism of some these guys at the same time. His view on BB hording undervalued White skilled players was insightful. Infact I think if there is hope in White skill players at least getting the chances they got 30+ years ago it's if this view is copied similar to the copying of moneyball in baseball and the use of sabermetrics.

I actually thought it was a pretty funny clip......and based upon some of his comments and phrases you would think he was a Caste Football member.....definitely a long time lurker...LOL.

Could a white man have made that video? Nope.

I enjoyed it. Although I'm sure we would generally disagree with his view on black coaches, I think there was a lot of good stuff in the video.
