yeah, he should be able to say whatever he wants.  he should also be judged for what he says.

trim 3:16 and trim 3:17

judged as "classless" "arrogant" "ignorant" "a n-word" for yelling into the mic after a personal and team victory. he plays a violent sport in a position where people talk after every single play. it was a hilarious expression of emotion, not cause to be hated. people who hate him for it have a deeper agenda that they may not even be aware of.

There's not always an agenda. A lot of people have one to be sure, but there are probably just many who are bent out of shape because, like seven said, they simply think the guy is being a "jackass." Stop painting with such a broad brush.

can anyone show me when a white guy (or hell, even another black guy) reacted this way in a postgame interview?  maybe the reaction is because of jackassery, not because of race.

Who exactly are you referring to? There was clearly lots of negative reaction that was real racist and some that were not.

The debate that followed your post lost me a bit, is anyone here seriously attempting to debate to debate that America doesn't prefer its black humble and well spoken?

I think he was saying that America prefers all of their athletes to be humble, for the most part.

Disregard my posts.  I'm way behind.

Doesn't America prefer it's white the same way?

If John mcenroe is any indication, they're fine with white athletes being rude and arrogant as long as they poke fun at themselves in a credit card commercial.

Sounds really similar to Muhammad Ali.  Is there any examples from this millennium?

Ali was perhaps the most hated athlete ever, he didn't become beloved until he got Parkinson's and stopped talking

crap I might have ruined my keyboard, because this made me LOL so hard I spit out the drink of water I was having when reading this.

No. I've discovered the line between arrogant and confident gets moved around quite a bit.

Do you have any examples? I find that people hate arrogant players while they are still playing and love them when they retire, but I could be wrong. I know my grandpa still hates Joe Namath.

I would too.  He predicted that his AFL Jets would beat the living snot out of the NFL Colts.  Everyone knew that couldn't be done and heaven forbid anyone saying such a thing.  But I kind of like him; only because he looked so good in panty hose later on in life.

i really regretted saying "agenda." what i meant was that people are unaware of the decisions their subconscious makes for them. people who are not blatantly racist can still hold some pretty harmful opinions despite believing they treat everyone equally.

Seven, just from the posts I read today, and not only in this thread, you are the type of guy a friend would have a hard time thinking of you a only a black man.  Because you blend with society.  Now MIR on the other hand will remind you he's black as many times as he can.  He is a black racist and doesn't know it.  By that, I mean he will always point out the differences and inequalities in all men by race.

I'm not trying to insult anyone.  I just feel like you're more like the engineers and directors that are my friends at work.

Where did I mention that I hated Sherman or his rant.  Personally, I love this type of interview from someone who is charged up after winning a championship game.

Does this help.  They are successful because they get along and work with everyone.  Plus they have lots of common sense.  If you didn't know them and they called you, you would have no hint of what race they are.  Mainly because when they see a person, they don't see them as a "white, black, Hispanic, Asian etc..." just who they are by the way they act.
