Ridiculous "Race" claims made on ESPN's First Take regarding NFL

Featured Replies

2 men on there were saying that race plays a factor when people hate on Haynesworth for holding out but that people still like Favre despite all of his antics.

 

They also pointed out that Favre, Manning, and Brady always get calls when it comes to personal fouls but Vince Young gets thrown to the ground and nothing is called.

 

 

 

I'm sorry but this stuff is ridiculous. It infuriates me that people keep bringing up this stuff. Their points have no ground and are laughable. I'm sorry but I just seen it and I had to post about it. :madman::madman:

Haynesworth is a clown that is why people were mad.

I'm with you on this one. Just ignorant. Farve also wasn't under contract.

I didn't hear the exact comments, so I don't know what was said. But, I get very annoyed by this as well.

For the biggest part they said the same thing I wrote. They said race wasn't the whole thing but that it was a factor.

 

Jay Crawford asked them the question to begin with then they pointed out those scenario's then asked him "now you tell me, do you think race played a factor".

 

I think it was dumb.

People dislike Haynesworth because they're jealous that he can even consider not cashing a $21 million dollar check. It's a money thing.

 

Farve, Manning and Brady are all veterans that have earned some protection. Vince is still very early in his career. It's a tenure thing. Happens all the time in baseball and basketball. Veterans get the calls, newer players do not.

Two points...

 

1. A lot of people quit liking Brett Favre because of his antics, so that point is based on a false assumption.

 

2. Stars (Brady, Manning, Favre) get calls and the benefit of the doubt. Guys like Vince Young do not. It has nothing to do with their skin color, and much more to do with their star power. If Vince Young was one of the faces of the league, he'd get his share of love.

*hand raised*

I bet he didn't think twice about cashing that check. Never would he got that kind of money in the open market today.Didn't the owner let Hansworth family use his private jet during his brother death. I wish i was so mistreated.

He "says" he left it on his kitchen counter for a few weeks before taking it to the bank. He wasn't sure if he was going to do it or not. Righttttttt.

It's naive/ignorant/foolish to think that race doesn't factor into any opinions. We all have conscious or subconscious factors that help us form an opinion or come up with a reaction. Race is one of them. Socioeconomic factors . Personal experience. Lack of education.

 

So the question isn't "does race play a part." The question is "what portion of our reaction is influenced by race?" We THINK we know fully how we came up with an opinion but, in reality, we really don't know to the 100% level.

Sorry buy I disagree. The fact of the matter is that race doesn't have to always play a par and it's not foolish to think so. Maybe race does play a factor in your decisions and maybe you don't know how you came to sine of your opinions but I know how I judge people and race is not a factor. So it's bot foolish or naive to think some people can judge or have opinions without using race as a factor. Just sayin...

Look up the definition of "subconscious."
