re: They coming for Tom Brady

"Let’s just say for sake of argument, LeBron James says, 'My friend is Minister (Louis) Farrakhan,'" Sharpe said on Fox Sports, referencing the Nation of Islam leader who has been accused of spreading anti-Semitic rhetoric. “How would America react? Blacks have always had to be very, very quiet about who our friends are ... a prominent black athlete can never say, 'Minister Farrakhan is just my friend.' They’d try to cancel anybody with the just mere mention of Mister Farrakhan’s name."

That's an absurd take.

Steven Jackson and Desean Jackson made very, very antisemitic remarks then SJax doubled down on them and took them a step further. Basically, nothing came of it, and the story came and went real quick, whereas obviously if any white dude did something similar, it would have been 100x worse.
