I don't dislike Clark, I disagreed with his political views.

That really was hard to watch, very painful for all three of them (as well as any compassionate human watching) but most so by far for Clark, who is obviously the closest to GB3.

Hoping and praying for the young man. Our brother needs something good to happen....

I don’t think RC being a racist has anything to do with his political views.

I don't like Clark, but I don't hate him. I was able to watch without having any feelings towards him on this subject. This video certainly didn't sound good. I hope Brooks gets well soon.

That’s really hard to hear.

I watched my brother fight cancer at a far too young age — the diagnosis was nothing short of crushing for us. To watch someone who should be in the prime of his life unable to lift an arm… it’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone, and those bad days with him are still with all of us.

I wish nothing but love and support for Greg and his family and loved ones. I hope those around Greg and his family understand that it’s a very long and hard road, and that he is certainly enduring far more than his family will share with others. The immediate burst of support is fantastic, but they will need it most as the weeks turn into months.

May the lord be with you and your family, Greg. I don’t know you, but I love you and I’m rooting for you.

I don't hate RC at all. But this is the rant and there are people who probably hate every aspect of their life so I guess it makes sense.

I don’t think of it was that long. I don’t know off the field but I think after he had his third episode during football is when Brian Kelly said ok we need to run a MRI. I think they caught it early and prevented from spreading.

This just isn’t true.

Anyways, this was a tough watch. It’s easier to read about it, but Clark being in the room and seeing what he’s going through is some fair perspective.

GB has a hell of a road ahead. Young people getting cancer is hard to comprehend.

this is up to Greg and if Greg believes in a higher power



Oh good grief, so only good Christians who can prove they are worthy are allowed by God to survive cancer?

I’m pretty sure if only “true believers” survived cancer and all atheists and other religions died, we would have some solid data to support that ridiculous assertion…

I know people hate Ryan but hearing him say the struggles that Brooks is going through and what his long journey will be is rough.

First of all, God bless Greg and his family.

Secondly, I don’t hate Ryan, he hates my demographic and my values. There’s a difference. If you’re white, conservative and do everything that’s been asked of you by your country and local community, you get used to everyone on TV, radio and in pop culture doing everything they can to denigrate you and your way of life. It is what it is.

No he doesn’t.
You are making the same mistake Ryan Clark makes - assigning motives to another person. Clark thinks you are racist. You think Clark hates you. Probably neither are correct.

I can tell you that Ryan Clark does not hate all white people. And I can tell you that Ryan Clark overestimates, and most white people underestimate, the amount of racism that the average black person confronts.

This is not the post for that.

Why is this crybaby bullshite tolerated on the rant?

You are fussing at the wrong person. That guy was responding to a poster who insinuated that he hated Ryan Clark. He posted that he did not hate Clark; that it was Clark who hated him.
