Harper would lay out for a game winning catch, unlike Cam who refuses to drop to a knee to recover a fumble in the Super Bowl.

Is Bryce Harper known for theft, cheating, and soliciting pay to play amateur sports? I don't know anything about the guy, but that might be the answer.

Nah, you're skipping the fact that he was tossed while at the end of the dugout. That is "look at me" kind of shite from the ump. Most people thought his comment was warranted given the bullshite pulled by the ump.

Yeah I was actually indifferent at worst and a Cam fan at best before the Super Bowl, but that bullshite during the game and then the "interview" after completely turned me off. If you're going to want the spotlight on you at all times, which is obviously your wish considering your antics, then you should deal with the consequences.

We don't have any concrete evidence that Harper would handle it better, but it seems highly unlikely he would pull such a bitch move. Until then, he gets the benefit of the doubt.

The entire dugout went nuts on the call and somehow the ump specifically heard Harper from the dugout? And whatever was said was bad enough to toss him? GTFO with that shite.

And Harper was criticized for those things.

Any comment on the fact that Cam showboats every little thing when things are going his way? That's the main reason. You seemed to skip that statement.

How surprising you think this is the reason.

You have got to be the most racist piece of shite on here.

Because Cam Newton is a colossal douchebag. Anymore brain busters?

I think it's part of it for some people. I don't mind it though. I love shite talkers. It adds another level of excitement to the game. But you can't pout like a bitch when it doesn't go your way.

There's never 1 specific reason for something like this. There's obviously a bunch.

But let's not act like skin color is not on that list. Just think about the posts and up/downvotes you see in any racial thread on this board. It's obviously one of many factors.

It does make it more fun to have a villain. Kind of why I root against LBJ every summer.

Still doesn't mean he isn't a douche and hateable. But it was way more satisfying to beat the panthers this year because of his shite. It's what makes sports fun

The skin color excuse gets downvoted because it's the last resort excuse used by the weak minded.

I refuse to believe anyone who actually reads this board would never ever ever think that skin color plays a factor in this. No chance anyone is that naive.

Again, it is a factor, one of many. Not THE reason.
