LRCW Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I wonder what kind of heat he'll take for those comments. What if Big Ben had made that comment? By the way Adrian, nobody forced you to play football. Go get a real job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scribe Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Between Gilbert Gotfriend, the WNBA player whose name I dont remember because it's the WNBA, and now Peterson, people should really make sure the filter between their mouths and brain are functioning properly.

Clyde Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Stupid comment. Period. I would think our older African American brothers and sisters, those who had relatives one or two generations ahead of them that were real slaves, look at this as an ignorant, insensitive, uneducated statement by a young man who has opportunities that those previous generations never thought possible.

halfback20 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Sure, playing a game for ridiculous amounts of money is a modern day version of being murdered, tortured, raped, and forced to work all day for no money at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Sure, playing a game for ridiculous amounts of money is a modern day version of being murdered, tortured, raped, and forced to work all day for no money at all. What a joke. Amazing that someone can even think that let alone say it to the media like he really thinks it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick1 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I completely support the players in the lockout, but this comment was just dumb. I'm with you 100%! If I'm the players rep I'm working like crazy to keep idiotic statements like this to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spindoc Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 What I'd like to hear, although it would never happen, is Revs A and J to come to his rescue. So, is it racism when you're ignorant enough to degrade your own race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
