In one of my more popular posts, I made the rather obvious point that black people are the most bigoted people in America. I did not mention it at the time, but I don’t think you can really blame them. It’s only prudent for a distinct racial minority to be paranoid about the majority. That’s inevitably going to sound like bigotry, but racial solidarity is never going to sound sunny and open.
The upside of this is black people in America tend to say what everyone thinks but is too afraid to admit. This story about the never ending Tom Brady drama is a good example.
Brandon Marshall isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and that was on full display on Tuesday night.
Discussing the nullification of Tom Brady’s four-game suspension on Showtime’s “Inside the NFL,” the Jets’ wide receiver theorized about how race might have played a role in Judge Richard M. Berman’s decision.
“White players, specifically at the quarterback position, are treated differently,” the five-time Pro Bowler said.
Marshall told host Adam Schein that many black players feel that they are held to different standards than their white counterparts.
“Absolutely,” Marshall said. “At times, at times, at times, yes.”
The 31-year-old stressed that he’s not alone in this thinking. Rather, it’s a widespread belief around the league.
“I think that the important role that I play on this show is to give the viewers (an) inside look of the locker room,” Marshall said. “I am a player right now. This is not just from our locker room; this is from the locker rooms across the States. This is how guys are feeling. This is not just my opinion. These are conversations I’m having with guys.
“It’s just not African-American players. I’ve had this conversation with Caucasian players as well. The most important part of this whole discussion is the process for the players. They just want the process to be fair and right. They just want to get it right.”
Brandon Marshall is not terribly bright so we should not expect deep insights from him. But, he is not so dim to not notice that race has played a role in this ridiculous story. Black players are arrested all the time and that means the league is handing down punishments to black guys all the time. Look at the league’s police blotter and you see nothing but brothers.
When a white guy gets jammed up, the league has to consider the race issue and throw the book at the honky. It’s simply prudent. Otherwise, you end up with Soros funded mob outside your door, threatening to burn your league down. It’s the cost of handing deviant weirdos and bitter freaks a veto over public morality. In 21st century America, black people are sacred so you tread lightly around anything remotely connected to race.
I meant “Along with…”
Among with most visitors to this site, I find it unlikely that blacks are more severely punished per se- they are punished more because they commit more offenses. The other issue is that, because of the sheer volume of black crime, blacks might be punished LESS severely on average, as the threshold for what constituted crime is defined upward for blacks.
What is Marshall saying- that blacks are punished more severely, or that whites are?
I think that’s the claim. Race hustlers in the sporting press have been making this charge for years now, so it is safe assume Marshall is repeating it.
Of course this was payback on Brady for not attending the invite by HNIC to the White House after the Pats won the SuperBowl.
Obergruppenfuhrer Jarrett probably ordered it herself.
When a man is to stupid to even understand when he is embarrassing himself perhaps it’s for the best that he can’t grasp that.
A few quarterbacks have commented that they cannot tell the difference between two footballs when one is inflated 1 1/2 lbs less than the other. They felt it made no difference in their performance.
I guess it made no difference because the Patriots performance was better in the 2nd half when allthe footballs were inflated properly.
This was a calculated hit on the Patriots which most of the league players and owners don’t like. This was “payback”. Get even time.
Maybe if Brady had punched his woman in the face and knocked her out he might get punished but he brings big bucks into the league so ……that just lets the air out of this story.
