@ndc18 Most blacks are Christians last time I checked. Just because you are a Muslim that doesn't mean most blacks are as well.

@ndc18 And I think he would be scrutinized accordingly Tims Criticism has nothing to do with his color or religion to real sports fans right now he just hasn't played good football at all

[Alta626]

@theone6152 All those miracles wins he had just tells me that he has a great competitive heart which I've been saying all along whether he was black, white, yellow, pink who gives a shit about that stuff the fact is I don't think he's an NFL quarterback right now and until he proves he can throw well on a consistant basis as a fan I don't think he should be starting.

@Alta626 there hasnt been a player that screws up like him and wins football games. until there is another one, preferable a black one (so we can see how the media compares them) then we can compare. until then we cant because like his crappy performances or not, he wins games and at then end of the day 450 passing yards 4 TD's and 0 int doesnt get you to the playoffs, winning does, and thats what that man does.

@theone6152 What if Cam Newton went 9/26 in a playoff game? another example of racism.

@bull864 What if Cam Newton went 9/26 in a playoff game? another example of racism.

@bull864 really? I think it's mostly white christains. smh.

[bull864]

This is an interesting conversation as they all make good points. I would like to see them discuss the bias against white running backs and cornerbacks sometime. That's something you don't hear much about, but how many times does a white running back get moved to fullback, or a white corner get moved to safety? It happens just like the black QB being moved to another position.

@LIKWITCREW1 Are you bright enough to understand most people in the US, white and black, are Christians right?

well sad to say their's still discrimination in the nfl quarter back position but majority of the good wide recievers, runnick backs, tight ends, linemen are great black players.
