So steamed. Settle down old man and reminisce the days when black men couldn't speak to you that way.

It is odd to play the race card there.


Yeah, that was bizarre. He came across like he thinks hes Doug Williams or something.

Last time I looked, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick were both black. You've got to go back to 2012 to find a Super Bowl that didn't have a black QB starting for one of the teams.

He's polarizing because he embraces the 'look at me' attitude. For the most part, you absolutely love it or you absolutely hate it. There's not a lot of middle ground in the way people react to it.

He likes doing it, fine, that's his business but he needs to wrap his head around the idea that it his behavior and not his skin tone that put people off.

I don't like it, but as referenced in the original thread, go look at the number of "n words" directed at him in his Twitter mentions and it might change your mind a little bit.


Actually, I just did. LINK And it appears that there are a lot of people assuming he is called the n-word often, IRL, but no proof of it on Twitter and, if it has happened, it must happen very very rarely.

Plenty of references to "Bama fans" on twitter from people who assume every time he is on TV the Bama fans are using the word in their homes.

It's all a bunch of PC, trumped-up, crap IMHO. It's a false narrative. It doesn't really exist except in the minds of those who are claiming it is happening in people's homes while watching TV.

Read the results of the search I linked above.

People not liking him has nothing to do with race and everything to do with his narcissism.

I don't get where this is even coming from with Cam. That dude has been propped up and coddles since he was a teenager. So stupid and pointless to do this on this type of stage.

Cam, per usual, acting like a spoiled brat. People(except Bama fans) adore Cam not only for his ability but also because he can have a charming personality at times.

His whole thing about having "doubters" and playing the race card is ridiculous. He is a genetic freak akin to the likes of Bo Jackson. He is more gifted physically than almost every player on the field every time he plays. Spare us the BS Cam.

Hilarious that all the Auburn guys giving you shite in this thread would be on your side if it were anyone else.

in all fairness, if you saw the entire thing. Race wasnt what this was all about.


ETA, if you dont think their is somewhat of a double standard, just take a look at Gronk Vs Cam.

In reality, at least IMHO, I do not think he is a good person at heart.

That's why I refer to him as "The Fake."

Tough to find another QB to compare him to, right?
