Thread: As A white fan???

Regardless of the color of your skin, if you play QB in the NFL you will be scrutinized regardless. Also, McNabb plays in Philadelphia, where they disect everybody and boo everybody, so what you look like is pointless.

if u r sucking at your job and you dont want the world to scrutinize you - chose a job that doesnt thrust you in the public spotlight - im tired of ALL these stars, whether movie or sports or singers who piss n moan about the media yet they chose a career that they knew would put them on center stage

every QB is under the proverbial spotlight

Hasn't this come up once or twice already with McNabb. I know there was the Limbaugh incident, but that was mostly Rush's fault.

I tell you what, sure seems like Plummer, Grossman, Griese, Pennington, Eli Manning, just to name a few are being criticized pretty heavily.

I think there is an amazing thing in the NFL. If you perform, the amount of scrutiny decreases, doesn't go to zero, but decreases, if you struggle, the amount of scrutiny goes up. Doesn't matter your ace, ethnicity, age, height, weight or Wonderlick score. Play well = less scrutiny -- Play poor = more scrutiny.

Memo to McNabb: Lead your team to a win with a dominating performance, skin color won't be an issue.

Nothing makes me quite as angry as a person who blames racism for things that are obviously not racist.

And it typically only happens when a person has something (crime, poor sports performance, steroids, etc.) that he/she has or is doing wrong.

Even in Rush's case, which I remember well, he did not make a racial thing out of it.

The media did in their misrepresentation of him. Happens when people hate you, you know?

Fortunately, I don't personally know what it is like when the media hates you
