My buddy, Ken Jones, lived in Fort Myers. He was the #1 player in the state of Florida back in the early 90's in High School. No college team offered him a scholarship.
Why is it OK to accept racism in certain cases, but not others?
This is off the point, and I apologize for it. But what I mentioned is real, what McNabb mentions is imagined. (at least now it is imagined...I agree that it took a lot to get the black QB in the game...Moon and Williams were trailblazers.)

I hope you're not serious. So you think the NBA and NFL teams are discriminating against white players? Black is the new white? What you're implying is as absurd as McNabb's comments. It's unfortunate that you both believe in the legitimacy of what you believe to be true.
I'm afraid your buddy had deficiencies that perhaps you and the people around him didn't see or were not willing to see. There are so many factor in assessing a player it's not even funny. LaVar is a perfect example.
I'll reiterate what I've said on this top in the past...In sports it's all about winning and no team, no f'ing team, is willing to sacrifice W's for some petty racist shit. Period!
