I don't know if many of you caught last week's Colts' game, but even I
was astounded to see that Troy Walters, and not Brandon Stokley,
started for the injured Marvin Harrison. Stokley played quite a bit,
but always in the customary "white" slot position. This seems to be
clear-cut proof that, even on his own team, Stokley will never be
elevated to a starting WR position, even if it means playing behind a
no-name derelict like Walters. This is just another strong piece of
evidence that the Caste System will be very, very hard to overthrow. I
also have to ask, once again, where Stokley's alleged buddy Peyton
Manning was when the team started Walters over him. Of course, I'm sure
Stokley was only too happy to let a less talented black start in
place of him, but why doesn't Manning use his influence to help his
"buddy" or at least protest?
