Has anyone else seen these ads on the NFL network? Basically its some form of hip-hop, hip-crock form of "art" and they've done these ads rhyming about certain players in the draft (all black of course) Is this the way the league wants to portray itself? I mean the majority of the fanbase is still white. Why alienate people? Everyone always like to trash the NHL for its lack of marketing, but at least they haven't gone into the gutter of using hip-hop to promote itself. What a disgrace. Its so hard to watch the NFL anymore because between the ads, and the on the field bufoonery, I feel like I'm watching some glorified rap video

Again, I ask the question. Why is this crap needed in pro sports these days? The hip-hop crowd is NOT who they need to be appealing to. They're not the ones who shell out the cash to go to the games and buy the jerseys. That comes from middle to upper class white fans

I just watched another Def Petry bit on Adrian Peterson, my god how dumb.. Also i just watched a segment with that annoying Jamie dukes.. He was answering some email and someone asked if the Cowbys made the right selection in the draft with another DE, he said that Bobby Carpenter was not cutting it and they needed more help.. He then mentioned that Greg Ellis has a bad achilles and he gave him a pass saying i know how it feels to have a bad achilles. He then goes on to say the Browns gave up way to much for Quinn. Bobby Carprnter was a rookie last year give the kid sometime. What about Michael Vick?? How many times to we have to hear the black commentators say give him some more time to learn the system> Jesus christ it makes me so mad

Nice posts Lance, but I beg to differ about the jerseys. Young black kids are always wearing jerseys especially throwbacks. The best is when you see black guys wearing the NASCAR racing jackets. I mean honestly, can the blacks even spell NASCAR?

You're right. I dont know how that slipped my mind. The funniest thing I see is there is this mall that is located in the ghettos here in south florida, and every time I go there, I see blacks wearing throwback jerseys, but the kicker here is that they're FAKE throwback jerseys. These jerseys look like they were made in somebody's basement and these clowns go around wearing them thinking they're these high rolling rap stars. Nothing says high roller like wearing a cheap knockoff throwback made in Korea

Sorry, but I looked for months for a throwback Larry Czonka jersey w/o success. Had to settle for the cheapo off of ebay. I don't mind though. Most people who see it say nice jersey, or Czonka was a beast. I respond by saying there aren't many Czonka's out there anymore, then segway into the lack of white talent in the NFL especially at tailback. I just got back from Atlantic City last night, and one of the poker dealers made a comment about my jersey. 30 mins later I was leading a discussion at the table about lack of whites at skill possitions in the NFL.

yeah I don't believe Mitchell and Ness makes a Csonka throwback

Lance buddy, happy about your Raiders new QB?

If I remember it right the Chargers and the Raiders were mortal enemies when Lance was playing. Hw come a Raider fan calls himself Lance Alworth? Just curious. (Shouldn't it be Freddie Biletnikopf? or Dave Casper or Kenny Stabler or Mark Van Eaghen?--now those guys were some Raiders!)

When I was younger I was a bolts fan, and Lance Alworth was my favorite player but I became a Raiders fan because bands like Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies would wear Raiders gear in their videos. Kind of a cheesy reason I know, but when you're a teenager you think that kind of stuff is cool (the whole wearing black and acting like a badass kind of thing) I probably should have used Biletnikoff as my user name but oh well, nothing I can do about it now. and as for the QB situation, I'm less than thrilled about it, but we'll all have to see how it goes before I can really judge the pick

The difference between BET and The NFL Network? More Jews on the NFL network. It's a nightmare,I refuse to watch. Everything is geared towards the idiots with the rap and video games...disgustingEdited by: Blue Eyed Devil

MTV, BET, ESPN, NFL Network.. Whats the difference? Well... nothing really. They're all part of the globalist elites attempts to dumb down American whites with the influx of (c)rap/hip-hop and degenerate behavior. The only thing I watch on any of those networks anymore are the old games which are shown on NFL Network and I can reminice about how things were in the old days before (c)rap and thug-like behavior became chic not only in American culture, but in sports as well
