Black affletes continue to get the go-ahead to commit crimes at will:

Drug charges stemming from a February arrest in Miami have been dropped against free agent DB Matt Elam. Elam has been arrested twice since February, but charges have already been dropped in both cases. Although he's now in the clear from a legal perspective, the 2013 first-round bust isn't about to generate any interest on the open market. Elam turns 26 in September.

At this early point it look like the 49ers will have 7 Whites starting on offense this season, 8 when Trent Taylor gets on the field -- QB, FB, TE and 4 OL. George Kittle continues to get lots of favorable reviews and may start as a rookie at tight end. Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk and possibly Taylor may all see their share of targets.

The defense remains coal black with only LB Brock Coyle on the roster and he's mostly a special teamer.

John Lynch so far has been a big improvement on Trent Baalke.

Some more black privilege on display:

Vikings GM Rick Spielman said the organization "believes" in Michael Floyd, and he will remain on the club's roster and report for training camp.

Floyd boneheadedly consumed alcohol just days before his house arrest sentence was set to expire earlier this month, and he was sentenced to one day in jail in Arizona on Monday. He got off extremely light and will keep his job at the same time. Floyd won't be guaranteed to make the final 53-man roster out of camp and is certainly facing a league-mandated suspension from Roger Goodell.

The NFL treats "upside" as a religion and *production* as a liability :(

Oops. I thought it said the lions. This does not bode well for Issacc Fruechte who one publication strangely said Fruechte had the best straight line speed of anybody at the wide out spot. Considering Beorhinger is still on the team I find that hard to believe though the kid was pretty fast at Minnesota U. .

Because Fitz actually has had some 60%+ comp ct seasons while throwing something more than screen passes and a 30 td season plus he had some scrambling capability but ole Fitz has been a backup for a good part, Young can't even do a basic passing tree, also his athletic capability is overrated and his arm was always suspect and inaccurate hence him only being able to run 1/3rd of an offense poorly at that. Fitz has done okay for his career being mediocre which is better than Young. Vince needs to realize he sucks and go back to da hood . BTW Young had some runnign teams to rely on and blew chunks so bad he cost his team games
Here's another example of how white players aren't shown their due respect by the sports msm. This is the 2011 draft redone. Andy Dalton, a quality starting quarterback, is not even drafted in the first round.

Ridiculous.
2011 NFL Draft do-over: Broncos pass on Von Miller for J.J. Watt - NFL ...

Yea and the fact Mccarron who has wasted 3 years sitting behind him is a shame too.....he wasn't even second round and he was talked down despite excellent stats big performances and multiple NC's! And AJ had crunch time performances on many an occasion that were ignored. Its liek you are white, productive, and win and have all the measurables and a good arm you are screwed 90% of the time.

It's too early to call him a bust yet, but last year's first round draft pick is definitely trending in that direction:

Browns WRs coach Al Saunders was "disappointed" by Corey Coleman's (hamstring, side) missed time during the offseason program. "I'm disappointed for him that he can't continue to grow in the fundamentals and skills at his position," were Saunders' exact words, hinting Coleman was falling behind. "He missed a significant amount of time last training camp (with a hamstring). He missed significant amount of time during the season and his growth and development, he was having a terrific OTA session and then he got hurt." The Browns are clearly ready for Coleman to get off the training table. Coleman's hamstring has been an issue going back to his freshman year at Baylor. Coleman has a ton of upside, but is a dice-roll WR4 in re-draft leagues.

I know a lot of White people who have gotten one or more DUIs, and none have gotten off. But it's a rarity when a black athlete is convicted of one.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Bills RB Jonathan Williams will not face league discipline after being found not guilty in his 2016 DUI case. Williams was arrested in Arkansas a year ago, but he was found not guilty earlier this month. With both the legal and league issues behind him, Williams can focus on winning the No. 2 job behind LeSean McCoy. Mike Gillislee rode that role to 627 total yards and nine touchdowns last season.

Players like Fitzpatrick and Osweiler (White quarterbacks who have struggled), have to take their criticism like men because as Whites, they are not allowed to have excuses (even though both of them had stretches of good play). Meanwhile, black bums like Young get sympathy and the "victim" label.

Of course sCam is still #1 overall...

Decent rookie season in 2011
Below average in 2012
Average in 2013
Below average in 2014
MVP in 2015
One of the worst starters in the league in 2016

... yep, one good season, totally worth a 1st overall selection!

And believe I think the NFL gave him the favoritism that year, they rig stuff for their favorite "affletes" from schedules to calls I've seen scam play for years upon years he is as impressive as watching a roll of toilet paper play football...just as weak and soft too talking charmin level. Guy in the super bowl refused to fall on it he is toast. Everyone remembers that.

Jason Garrett has become such a pussified fruit of a head coach. Perfect example of a black getting 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. changes here

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he thinks DE Damontre Moore is "embracing" the opportunity he has in Dallas.
"I think he has matured over the course of his career," Garrett said of Moore, who was cut by the Giants in part because of a fight with a teammate over a pair of headphones and was arrested in December on suspicion of DWI. To his credit, Moore seems to understand he has taken his NFL career for granted to this point, asking himself, "If you really love [football], why aren’t you doing everything to the best of your ability?" The Cowboys desperately need pass-rushing help, and Moore has the talent to be a factor if his head is in the right place.


And some more black privilege for another low IQ afflete:

Eagles WLB Nigel Bradham accepted a deferred prosecution program for his felony battery charge.

Bradham allegedly assaulted a hotel employee last summer over how long the employee took to bring his group a beach umbrella. If Bradham meets the conditions set in the program, the case will be dismissed. Still, Bradham will likely face league discipline for the incident.

The problems with the Cowboys start at the top with Jerry Jones. He's such a control freak that he doesn't want a strong coach; that's why he fired Landry and has always had "nice guy" coaches like Garrett and Jimmy Johnson, guys who end up being "pals" to black troublemakers instead of disciplinarians.

I'm so sick of hearing how good so and so (black affleet) would be, or could be if he wasn't... a head case; a drug addict; a woman beater; a murderer; an idiot; lazy. The worst part is these moron coaches take up for them... I don't know how guys like Sean Lee and Jason Witten can put up with being surrounded by so many idiots...

Good, I'd love to see Joe Walker take his starting spot.

Just another day at the NFL office, the latest afflete who will suffer no consequences for his criminality. Gotta love weenieworld -- the charges are so serious they may affect his roster spot lol:

Cowboys LB Damien Wilson was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Frisco, Tex. on Tuesday night. No details are known at this time, but these are pretty serious charges. Wilson, a 2015 fourth-round pick, has appeared in all 32 games for Dallas the past two seasons, mainly contributing on special teams. This could affect his roster spot.

Gary Barnidge still an unsigned free agent. Guess the Ravens prefer to keep the 60 year old Ben Watson, a former first round pick who didn't play last year because of injury and who in his 13 year career has amassed less than 5,000 receiving yards:

Free agent TE Gary Barnidge said on Thursday he's yet to hear from the Ravens. "They know who to contact, who to call," Barnidge said. "I just know we haven’t heard anything yet, which is fine. I’m in no hurry. I’m staying in shape. I’ll be ready when that call comes, so I’m in no rush right now." Barnidge's market hasn't developed after quickly fielding calls from the Bills, Jaguars, Broncos, and Panthers after his release from the Browns. The Ravens have a clear need at tight end, but likely want to see how Ben Watson looks first.

No wonder so many of these guys are washed up at 30:

Emmanuel Sanders cut fast food out of his diet this offseason. We are constantly amazed at how many NFL players eat fast food, but it's quite common. "I was eating bad," Sanders admitted. "If I was hungry I would sometimes go through the McDonald’s line and grab me a 20-piece (chicken McNuggets). I would go through Burger King, just fast food because I was ready to eat now." Sanders also reiterated that the Broncos intend to play fast-first offense this year. "We’ve got this new offense with Mike McCoy," he said. "We’re going to be throwing the ball around, so my conditioning has to be up and I’ve been working on that.’’

Barnidge is an excellent receiving tight end who made the pro bowl a couple of years ago. It should make you wonder why he hasn't been signed.

Lurkers, the reason he hasn't been signed is because he's white. If he was black he would have already been signed. If you pay attention you will see this pattern repeated over and over when it comes to white players.

Just realized Nick Mangold is still a free agent. He's still a top 10 caliber center; what's the deal with him not being signed?
