This is retarded. We can't make fun of SJW's and Al Sharpton types and then turn around and call racism (or at least ingrained stereotypes) when a white RB doesn't win the Heisman.

Its completely retarded. There are several white receivers tearing it up in the NFL. So if his logic is correct Watson finishes third because he is a black QB? (Forget about Jamies and RG3). And that very well may be the order of finish, but not for the reasons he is suggesting. Can't believe some of these guys get paid to come up with this stuff. As much crap as people give Gary Danielson, at least he knows his football.

Wrong. I've seen many posts referencing his race as meaning he's lesser qualified.

Most just don't believe a white athlete can do the things he does.

Ask Aaron Rodgers if Jordy Nelson is any good.

Correct. To be fair, we usually do this with black QB's as well.

I don't think I'll ever understand why people insist on giving page views and comments to the idiots at ESPN.

IMO he's right about the stereotype. But, the stereotype actually works in his favor. The old, "Look how good that dude is! And he's white!", comment abounds.

Plus, Eric Crouch won it. Yes he was a QB,but he won it for his running. Debunks the argument.

McCaffry isn't winning because he's the wrong skin color, he isn't winning because Derrick Henry deserves it more.

John Heisman was white. I think it's progress that an award named after a white guy can be given to a black man. This is what MLK dreamed of all along.

I don't know what you're getting at, but it has nothing to do with what Wilbon said.

White Breadski may very well win the Heisman. I didnt know the award was already given out. Henry has had a better year and his team is still in it and relevant.
