years. Nobody that I have ever heard questioned DW's intelligence, in fact we and the staff always talked about how smart he was.

Colleges were offering scholarships since before he was old enough to drive a car. He was then treated like royalty in college (he earned it). Was then a high draft pick, and only took a couple of years to make him the highest paid (and very highly respected) QB.

What did I miss?

This. I’m so sick of this false narrative. People act like we’re in 1950. I know we’re not supposed to talk politics but... I’d trade my life for his ANY day.

When did a black quarterback speak up? No one has a gun to their heads. Most people thought Joe Burrow was a moron for his stance on the matter.

This perpetual victim narrative has gotta stop. And we have to stop teaching black kids from an early age that they’ll never get as far as whites, because that just psychologically makes them not even want to try as hard.

Also, on another note, maybe listen to the ####### cops too.

You probably know more about his life experience

than he does?

Replace the word "QB" with "leader" and it provides a wider

perspective. Whether you agree or not...a person's perspective is their reality. Walk a mile in another man's shoes.

A lot of "feelings" in that article.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Do you mean that “feelings” make his argument not true or valid?


Sep 10, 2020, 4:56 PM

Wow. Are you a materialist?

Maybe one day Deshaun can ask Drew Brees what it’s like for white QB to have an opinion on disrespecting the American Flag.
