Why is the media portraying NFL fans as racist against black QBs? 

Post#1 » by atlantabbq99 » Sat Feb 6, 2016 10:41 pm

Why is their so much attention to black QBs this year when Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl just a few years ago?

I really don't remember Wilson getting this much attention when he was in the Super Bowl.

Why did Wilson get less negative attention than Cam, because the media likes him better or because Wilson rarely celebrates on the field?

Many African-American players are loved by fans. If some fans do hate Cam, it's probably because of his arrogance and immaturity.

It's because the media has nothing to discuss this year.

I haven't paid much attention to the buildup, but I'd suspect that this answer would be correct.

Hopefully someone finds a semi-deflated ball somewhere so that the media gets something to do.

Whining to a ref after a basic tackle yesterday and I'm hearing Cam left a press conference early. It does nothing to help his cause.

There is no "cause". Stop letting the media tell you what to think.

People love to hate and criticize athlete's who showboat. Always have. Russ can be very P.C. the only time the media talks about him, is if he says something controversial. Like the whole recovery water comment or his outlook on religion. Two very different personalities. One is very discreet while playing. The other has a look at me persona.
