SUNRA,
I've heard the sentiments you expressed about whites implying that black QBs aren't smart passers. It's disgusting and crazy. You'd think in the 21st century that kind of crap wouldn't still be around. When Rush Limbaugh made those quasi-racist statements about McNabb, just about EVERYONE assailed Limbaugh and came to McNabb's defense.
That said, I don't think anyone on this board has been making such statements. QC is dumb (as are many other black and many white football players) for using drugs (even if it was just weed) when he knows that using such drugs jeopardizes his opportunity to get millions of dollars and a job most of us would kill for. Also, QC never did have the "smarts" that Parcells wanted in a QB. Namely, QC turned the ball over WAY too many times. True, QC is young, but Parcells doesn't tolerate mistakes by anybody.
You also make a serious charge that Parcells is a racist. Make sure you have something to back up those charges before you levy them. Fact is, there were not many black QBs in the NFL of starting caliber when Parcells was coaching in NY. That might be for racist or other reasons. But you can't say (or strongly imply) that Parcells is a racist simply by using highly suspect circumstantial evidence.
I've read one racist post on this site since I've been around and that poster was banned from the board and I ripped him a new one on the thread. But, it is equally important not to say or imply that someone is racist unless there is solid support to back up those serious charges.
