Certainly the day's events are cast in the tragic shadow of yet another shooting rampage. But aren't racial tensions etc a matter of life and death too? I mean it just happened again in Florida where some idiot (white) shot a kid (black) for allegedly playing the stereo too loud.
Personally, I read what folks say about these events with more interest than I do about anything football related. I was reading all the comments in the locked thread and then saw it was off-limits here, seemed weird. That's all. No hard feelings here.

Yeah man. We all agree the dude is racist. But smoot wasnt policing that thought. He was moderating the thread. And i think cus i dont and cant speak for him that this thread is about rg-3. The only cure i see for racism is to ignore it and hope it dies a sad and lonely death so lets treat it with utter disregard. I hear u that there are more important things than football but the other thread was locked because it was ongoing here. And again it can only be said so many times that the guy is an ass. Furthermore ss never defended the guy - i think he was just saying what im saying - let his comments die a lonely death. Rehashing it only puts it in the spotlite.
Edit: ive seen that guy a million times on first take and always liked him cus he makes skip clueless look like an ass, but boy has my opinion changed. Hes much more of an ass than Skip. Skip is ignorant in an acceptable kind of way. Sticks to his guns way past the point of being proven wrong. But this dude is apparently ignorant on a whole other level.
