Cacs can't even subliminally hide their dislike of a confident successful black male. This one white girl who works for me said she didn't like Cam because he thought he was "all that." Granted shes a huge Connor McGregor fan(white MMA fighter who does/says shyt that makes Floyd Mayweather look like Tim Duncan)
When I pointed it out that McGregor does the same shyt she just sheepishly grinned and said yea I know. Couldn't even rebut the cism/double standards

Only way Wilson is a cornball is because he is religious...

That religion shyt is corny to me.

But it sounds like people don't want to go as far to call him a c00n so they call him a cornball instead.

It's how dude was raised,get over it.

This nikka sounds like a clown
Don't use hiphop has a mystical entity that white folks just don't get cause it's so different from the norm
as if Snoop is not mostly supported by white fans, despite his references to weed smoking and gang affiliation

Marshall was also asked if he thought the Jets were better than the two teams in the Super Bowl. “Absolutely,” Marshall said. But when he tried to elaborate on his explanation, the wideout couldn’t keep a straight face, revealing that even Marshall knew he was stretching the truth.

He knew he was talking nonsense.

Yeah when I read that part...I was like WTF. Jets did spilt with New England but they got swept by buffalo. The last game of the season after coming off beating New England in overtime...they came out flat, Fitz threw pics in last half, and Revis got hella burned by Watkins. They looked uninspired with playoffs on the line. And they also had an easy schedule. They barely beat my Boys with 2015 Matt Cassel getting pulled for Kellen Moore. And remember my Boys had a bad year with many injuries to key players.

The jets did look better this year especially with the change in HC. But to say they better than Denver AND Carolina...nah bruh.

This whole story feels like it was written.
like it used Marshall as a specific target for his scatterbrained talking points.
Then, when Marshall made sense.
It seemed the writer, wrote around any sense that was made in context of the conversation in how Marshall makes points.
Then trying to peg Marshall into the guy in a funny hat.
who got tea bags thrown at him for not keeping it real about the panthers.
Which means it is probably all a pr run that is setup.

I agree with BM...I don't think a lot of people like cam because star QBs are often thought of being above the excess celebrations...the great ones are thought of as coming off as humble. For that reason, I dont think that people particularly have a problem with him because he is black.

I don't have a problem with his celebrations myself...they don't come off as excessive to me, and he doesn't talk shyt. He seems pretty mature with the limelight and the recent success. I think what fans and league may be afraid of are people following in his footsteps. QBs were one of those potions that were uncorrupted by being over attention grabbing. He might be starting a trend for the people who come behind him...

Either way, I don't think it has anything to do with race, black Qbs are nothing new....that mold/stereotype was broken a decade or two ago. People are used to it now. Anybody over 30 will remember when a slew of em came in back between like 1999-2003 with a lot of fan support.

Dafukk are you talking about? WAKE UP!

I don't think I've seen a single white person who likes Manziel (Skip Bayless doesn't count).

there's still a double standard when it comes to manziel

I'll post the article:
-------------------------------------------------


With regard to Newton’s famous post-touchdown dance moves, Marshall seemed conflicted. First he said, “I don’t want my quarterback dancing. I’m from the old school ... I want my quarterbacks to get back in the huddle and lead us.”

Then Marshall reversed himself and complimented Newton. “But what we have to understand is this is the new generation,” he said. “This is what they’re doing next. They’re disruptive, they’re disrespectful, they don’t give a damn about anyone, and I kind of like it. Go back to when he was a rookie and he said, ‘I want to be an icon.’ You want to be an icon, you can’t stay in the box, you have to get out of the box, you have to be disruptive.”

What exactly is "disrespectful" about Cam. How does he "not care about anyone"? How is he "not leading" by merely dancing (a common tradition in sports when something good happens) and his team only has 1 loss, and he's playing great? #c00nShakaLaka

Cam was getting hated before his comments. At the end of the day, the idea of a "safe negro" is a fallacy. Some might get more leeway than others, but at the end of the day, racists aren't labeling us cornballs, swaggy, safe or unsafe. We're all n words to them. Why we're so quick to create division amongst our own when the ones who hate us hate us equally will never make sense to me

Since the beginning they've hated us read the story of Esau and Jacob in the bible it is preordained

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

We all gotta look and talk the same? Was Doug Williams a cornball? Warren Moon? Racist don't like Wilson either. They say the same shyt about him that they say about Cam.

Bingo!!!!!!
