Now I'm watching YouTube videos with black CBS analysists going on and on about how he needed to be judged for his talent and not his attitude...
For fuck's sake, are these people completely stupid or are they just doing this propaganda thing a la 1984?
What I would like to see after watching all of his hyperbolic bullshit is a career-ending injury during organized team activities. Let's see if his degree in basket weaving will help him make any money.
Holy crap! This one black analyst is comparing Sanders to Tom Brady... Maybe this is why I don't watch football.
Driving around town, I usually listen to local sports talk radio hosts. Just because I'm bored with the music and politics stations. On weekends they mostly stream the FS1 national network feed. Listening to these black hosts today, omg. One compared this to ''buck-breaking'', supposedly when the slave ships would arrive they would humiliate the toughest slave-to-be in order to keep everyone else in line.
No one likes criminals. Black culture, with the rap garbage, the gang banger wannabees, and all the rest of the ghetto crap isn't ''cool'' - its obnoxious. Which shouldn't surprise them, it's meant to be. A huge chunk of fans don't like it. NFL football is a product, like any other, and the front offices don't want to stick their necks out by making this the face of the franchise. He's just not that good.
And he didn't even come from the hood, for him it's all cosplay. And poor parenting.
Another part of this is the black hosts and callers always pimping for the black players over the white players. Trey Lance over Brock Purdy until it was beyond obvious, Jonathan Kuminga over Brandon Podziemsky even though they don't even play the same position, not giving up on James Wiseman - again until it was beyond obvious he couldn't play (local Bay Area sideshows, I imagine it's the same in the other markets). Siding with the black players over contract holdouts but criticizing the white players. Etc. A lot of what's been said this week with Shader Sanders is just more of the same. Including the overstating of his ability.
It's the front office's ass on the line if they put draft capital and effort into this guy, put up with the distraction, and he ends up just not being worth it. Today I heard all about all the other QBs who were arrogant, outspoken, cocky, etc. Maybe so, but not in a way that would turn off most of the customers regardless of how they played. Apparently this guy went into draft meetings letting them know they had to impress him, and not the other way around. But he's black, so it's all racist and unjustified. Just listening to the reaction to him falling in the draft, no wonder half the teams took him off their draft boards after their meetings. Who wants to bring all this into camp? Oh right, Cleveland.
