Thank you, Steph

A) I didn't know he made these comments until now.

B) I think this is an even bigger statement than even Dave Zirin says they are, but Zirin does point out exactly why they are not "tepid" nor "neutral".

This man is currently one of the most famous people on the planet. What he said about HB2 is staggeringly huge. Especially since Jordan never said shit about anything political. He was diplomatic, but he was straight-talkingly (pun intended) clear.

Caps

So U.S. Soccer is beginning a program where member subscribers get benefits based on the number of games they attended.

Nice idea.

They then said they would search various sources to try and figure out how many games (caps) you've been to.

Again, nice idea.

According to what they found, I've attended three games. I've actually attended 29.

Bad execution.

One of three games they picked (MNT vs Germany in 2013) I didn't even go to. One game they missed was last year's WNT game against Ireland. The first game I attended after I signed up as a subscriber...Bad database.

I realize getting this info is a Herculean task, but the fact they counted games I didn't go to (and I'm not the only one) makes me wonder how they did this?

It has sent me down memory lane as I go online to find photos of me at different games. Epic Throwback Thursday time. :)

Out with the old...

Okay, it's beginning to grow on me.

We scaring the white people

First Coldplay at the Super Bowl?
Now Sting for the NBA All-Star Halftime?

These sports gotten too Black for y'all?

Need some milquetoast with that funk?

KING: Peyton Manning’s squeaky-clean image was built on lies

The #CamShow

All credit to the Broncos defense. They COMPLETELY took Cam out of the game. The heartbreaking thing for me was after the Bengals narrow loss to the Broncos in the Battle of the Backups, it showed that they could have won that game as well.

But that's not what you want to talk about.

You want to talk about Cam behaving badly!

I'll admit it. He should have sucked it up and faced reporters and given more complete answers and not behaved like Bill Belichick (see what I did there?).

The man got embarrassed in the biggest game of his life. He'll learn from it, work on it, and get better at it. It still doesn't mean you get to spew your racist bullshit about him.

We got a black quarterback so step back!

MVP Cam Newton! Let me say that again, MVP Cam Newton!

I have never wanted to see a blowout in a game that didn't have the Bengals in it.
I want Cam to be the face of the NFL. I want to see his face on ALL the ads the same way we see Peyton now.

I think you can figure out why.

I am old enough to come from a time where it was "just common sense" that blacks couldn't lead the team.

It's hilarious that people argue that this hate has nothing to do with race. He showboats too much?

Really?

Look, no shade to Peyton Manning. In fact, I'll give the Sheriff the last word here about Cam:

He finished by saying of Newton’s Superman celebration and habit of giving the ball to a kid: “I think it’s great, and I think it’s great for football.”
