These stupid, racist jokes are insulting and overdone. Maybe you should post a photo of the nearest Popeye's the next time we get a commitment from a black player and see how that's received.

I think the majority of posters are just being sarcastic with all the “gym rat” talk.

It's really mocking hack tv broadcasters more than making racist jokes.

What if we know the kid and he really is:
-someone that always brings the lunch pail day in and day out
-has a high motor
-with a very high football IQ
-honestly like having another coach on the field
-you know he is the kind of young man you want your daughter to marry

Is it still racist then? asking for a friend.

Yet it’s specifically used to target one type of player.

So and so is this and this, but what it truly does is vaguely state that white athletes can’t be as physically gifted as African American athletes so they have to posses “likable” traits to counter

Being considered a “freak” athlete in today’s sports world holds more clout and is much more favorable than being a “lunch pail” guy.


Go away

It’s the same thing!! Black athletes are labeled athletic and freakish!! White athletes are labeled high motor and cerebral! One implies that black athletes get by on muscles and the implies white athletes have work hard and use their brains!! In some cases both are true but in most cases both are false

If he can catch Jordan Jefferson passes, then it’s all downhill from this point.

I did not consider it that way.

Regardless, maybe we should all accept that there are cerebral and hard working black athletes and freakishly athletic white athletes.

We should be past the point of labeling athletes by racial stereotypes and instead on case by case basis

I didn’t know cliché’s were racist. But hey I’m in the minority. I’m am Viking so I’ve got to be a brutal rapist, pillager and bloody axe wielding murderer.

I can't remember what game it was or maybe just SEC Network talking heads, but I heard "They've got this young QB TJ Finley who brings a different athletic dimension to the table and can beat you with his feet as well as his arm"

And I never laughed so fricking hard at those clowns before or after

Tj Finley is a great kid, but he was born with cinderblocks for feet and absolutely no one could see him play and suggest otherwise.
