Has anyone heard what Warren Sapp has had to say?  He can talk about the white man and that is okay but, as an example,  let Rush Limbaugh say something about McNabb and it is breaking news on every tv and radio station let alone the rags.  And the sickening part is Limbaugh never once made a racial xlur.  He just stated a fact McNabb is a highly overrated qb and that the defense wins the eagles the games, not McNabb. That the NFl wants a successful black qb, which is true, everything he said is true.  And everyone knows it, they just don't want to admit it. The guy is RIGHT, check out the facts.  McNabb has the worst stats in the NFC.
 
Here is where I am going with this............the Media will stir clear of Sapp's comments against the whiteman, slavery, etc because they are afraid of Political Correctness, bottom line, a lawsuit.  But let a whiteman give a valid opinion on a blackman as a qb or just generally a football player and the Media is on him/her like stink on shit.
 
This has nothing to do with my opinion on Limbaugh, the man and it has nothing to do with my opinion on Sapp, the man. 
This has to do with the DOUBLE STANDARDS that run wild in this country.  A black man can call a whiteman names and that is just completely overlooked.  But a whiteman is toast if he calls a black man names, or even just gives a valid opinion on his playing ability.
 
In my opinion, we need to get rid of the double standards and judge a person by their ability. My ancestors were not wealthy enough to own a slave 150 years ago,  and why are we still talking about this?
 
How many millions does Sapp make?  Trust me he is out of my league.  MONEY IS POWER IN THIS COUNTRY and Sapp has enough money to make a positive influence on young black kids and do his part to stop the slave whining.  Why isn't he?  Why aren't all of the players (black, white, orange, pink, asian) doing their part to show kids that all colors work well together and are respected by their peers?

I agree Lyn. The media especially loves to promote the "minority" coach issue more than the black qb issue. How many times do you hear about the NBS being 95% black or whatever and only however many...a small % of minority coaches? They seem to think that is unfair but 95% black players is ok I guess. Rush said nothing racist in his comments on McNabb,I think he should have steered clear of his
comments because he should know how the PC media operates, but what he said is true.

That is all I am going to say on this issue, but I would also like to know who from this Steelers club will be going to the Seattle and or San Francisco-Steelers games? I hope to meet up with Steelers fans who live in California and Washington state. I have 2 free flights, and am using them to see the black and gold on the road. Please feel free to contact me at this e-mail or [email protected].

Btw, can we get a website going.....firebillcowher.com?
LOL

Kordell Stewart said to the effect that Rush "only" lost his espn job for his comments whereas he should have lost his radio job too because that is what would happen to a black man.Kordell,Sapp et.al have a different life philosophy than most whites so it is hard for whites to understand. Kordell thinks  that Blacks are the victims of double standards!!! This much I know........no matter how many advantages or special privilages and laws are made by the liberal democrats to give the blacks an advantage or edge,(for their votes),they will ,in general, never,never be happy.It is a difference in philosophy.It is the age of political correctness.

here is my take on all this  !st )rush and sapp both were wrong in to diffecne way.
rush has mad of color remarks in the past that why he was attacked  and  sappy was wrong for calling thing the nfl  slave master  eber if the good old boy club want to stay all white  2nd   pc  is more racist the any thing else it numb you to the real racism ,it is like the old day   (the souther racist would call you nigger mick  wap  rag head to you faceand the norther one behided you back that is what pc is all about hiding the truth
i think you shoud be real a nuff to hate in the open  and not behided P>C

Here is my Opinion,
 
As a man of color.....i wasn't appalled by Rush's statement. Rush would have been fine if he didn't say that the MEDIA wanted BLACK QB's to do well. There's the problem. I myself found Sapp's comments to be funny, so i laughed.
Some people take things the wrong way and quite a few of you have done this while listening to these topics.
 
As silly as it may seem, everything will be viewed Black and White as long as we as people let it go that way.
 
This thing about Sapp and Rush has nothing to do with being "politically correct". So let it go and let's talk Black and Gold. Go Steelers!!!
 
Roy
