People have to feel like they are heroic and part of the “movement.” I mean a lot of our heroes growing up were civil rights figures. So they invent crap to make themselves feel involved and part of it. Sad but true.

I will add one more thing here. This thread likely wouldn't be a thing on a B1G Rant or Pac 12 Rant.


Tell me you’ve never been to the Midwest or the northwest without telling me you’ve never been to either. If you want to segregation and racism those are the 2 places you will find it.

No one has care about this for 30 yrs. All people care about is winning. Even racists like “colored” QBs if they are winning.

Another “I’m not a racist” game. I have black friends too. It’s 2023. Do we really have to ask this question, and so what if they do or don’t care. Why do I care what they think? You know man, maybe people just need to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks, and just focus on ourselves instead.

Wish they'd stop with shite like this. No one gives a frick what race the QB is. You want race to stop being an issue quit with dumb shite like this.

I hear you because the media does reach on everything for a headline, but I also remember a time not that long ago when it was believed that blacks weren’t smart enough to play quarterback, to the point where Warren Moon of all people had to spent 5 years blowing up the CFL to get a chance to play QB in the NFL.

That didn’t happen in the 1950’s, that happened in the 1980’s.

I don’t know about that, but I saw him squat 600 on YouTube. That’s incredible.

If both the QBs were white would you make this thread still?

I’m old enough to know that there was for a long time an assumption that blacks weren’t capable of playing QB. I’m no fan of making everything about race, class, and gender, but in this case, it is noteworthy imho. I’d also add that nothing has done more to bridge racial divides than sports, and I like that a lot. Hurts me to see both sides bringing their culture wars to the one place that transcends all that bullshite.

Truthfully, it’s helps a lot that the QB position nowadays favors athleticism way more than it did when Doug Williams played. Everyone is in the gun with a lot of reads and shite that can utilize the raw athleticism of the black athlete way better than when the QB was exclusively under center in the pro style offenses of the ‘80s and ‘90s.

Only the main stream media and their liberal/democrat cult that need their daily fix of race topics.

Most of us don’t give a flying frick

I don't care if my qb is green with 3 eyes in his forehead and has 9 ears. If he wins, that's all I care about.

If the media would leave it alone, the fans would come together more. Nothing unites fans like winning. I can guarantee you there isn't a fan of either team saying to himself. "I hope we don't win because our qb is black".

Do you remember James Harris ? He was a very good qb in the 70's. Joe Gilliam had it all. The Steelers started him over Bradshaw in 74. Dude just couldn't stay away from the drugs.

He signed with the CFL before the 1978 nfl draft.

Would it be noteworthy if, I don't know, 2 of the 4 starting guards in the NBA final were white??? What if there were 2 starting guards in the NBA all star game who were white? You got Doncic, who else you got??? It would be noteworthy. Some folks would care. Some folks would be put out by it. Some folks couldnt care less.
