McNabb says black QBs criticized more

[70Chip]

If McNabb plays like he did Monday he should be criticized for it. If his receivers suck, then Reid and Lurie should be criticized. If he's still hurt then maybe he shouldn't be playing yet. I can't quite figure out what race has to do with it. Yes there is racism in America. That statement always has been and always will be indisputable. But, in the case of McNabb the one person who ever commented negatively on his race was immediately fired and everyone within a five mile radius of a t.v. camera made sure to get in front of it and denounce Limbaugh as either a know nothing or an outright racist.

Is he saying that the fans in Philadelphia are particularly racist? If so, he should make that clear and leave the rest of us out of it. I remember a time when Schroeder v. Williams was a QB controversey in Redskinland. Everyone I know was decidedly in the Williams camp. Even the guys who think Easy Rider had a happy ending were vehement supporters of Williams. I've never heard anyone comment on Campbell being black in a negative way and I talk to Redskins fans of nearly every type.

So, I can say with confidence that there is no football racism among the Redskin Nation. And I believe that if McNabb were a Redskin and played like he did Monday, that African American Redskins fans would be yelling for his head along with everyone else. Now, we must all acknowledge that football racism has been made obsolete by the simple desire to win. Everday racism-by which I mean the "I'd like to date your daughter" racism is still much, much too common.
