They don't really care if you get them to the NFC Championship 3 years in a row they want a Super Bowl. Alas, racism is going to continue to live on as long as people like Donovan McNabb and Jessie Jackson keep doing what they are doing.

Cowell.....I'm of the opinion that racism is going to live on as long as we continue to live in a world dominated by white supremacy. This racial divide in America is nothing new to me, I go back to the late 30's. I was there when the first African American QB (James Harris) played his first game in the NFL, where were you? I was there when Warren Moon couldn't get work as a QB in the NFL, had to go to Canada, where were you? I was there when Jim Brown, every time he was tackled after carring the Browns on his back was spat upon and humiliated, called the infamous "N" word, where were you? I was there when it was said no African American would ever play QB in the NFL/or play the Center position, or the MLB position, where were you? I was there when it was said no white QB would ever put his hands up a black man's ass to recieve the ball, thus the Center position was off limits as well for blacks, where were you?

Further, the very team we talk about, and write about here every day was at one time one of the most racist teams in the NFL. They had an owner who vowed no African American players would ever play for him. He pledged to sell the team before he would have one in his employ, thankfully, Edward Bennett Williams put him out of his misery, where were you?

I said all this to say, what McNabb said does not begin to scratch the surface as to just what a racial institution the NFL is, and always has been. It's just unfortunate that many are much too young to be able to grasp the true significance. I can tell you some racial stories about the NFL that would make your head spin, but I've said more already than I actually had intended too.

Good luck with your formula, if you have one that will rid America of this disease called racism.
