Whitlock discusses race and Colts

A milestone in racial progress was achieved last Sunday when the Colts visited the Denver Broncos, according to columnist Jason Whitlock.

In his column titled Colts offense has white stuff, Whitlock ignores what he says is "the unwritten rule in sports journalism that racial progress is mentioned only when it involves dark-skinned minorities."

"The Colts started and played nine white guys on offense pretty much all day. NFL rosters are nearly 70 percent comprised of African-Americans. What the Colts did was significant.

"For a day, the best offense in football was 82 percent white. Austin Collie put a clown suit on the Denver secondary with precise route running and nifty moves after the catch. Some practice-squad kid, Blair White, performed a Collie impersonation when Collie was tired.

"Peyton Manning is the Larry Bird of this era. I mean that as high, high praise. I’m not accusing Manning or the Colts of any kind of racism. Bill Polian, Jim Caldwell (and Tony Dungy) have surrounded Manning with players who mirror his approach to the game. Race is not the determining factor.

"A willingness to prepare and shared values, I believe, are the determining factors."

BTW follow the link, they caught onto his "Genital Giant" piece as well.

Why am I not even remotely surprised a race piece was written by Whitlock? STFU

I liked the thinly veiled attempt to ingratiate himself with Howie Long, now that they have the same boss. Funny stuff.

yeah this is from the same source as the other whitlock thread

JFC Whitty, give it a break.

:shrug: white makes right.

This is as significant as the glorious day when the all white Harlem Globetrotters allowed coloreds on the team for the first time.

I wish Big Sexy would log in so that we could douse him in red-dot vinegar

I've always noticed this about the Colts. But they've had black coaches for a while now. Quite the paradox.

Whitlock made a name for himself, gained national attention, and still has a job today because of the issue of race. Other than that, he either states the obvious in a negative connotation, or chooses a controversial topic, and takes the side of said topic, that would stir the most shit. It's so ridiculously transparent, and nauseatingly repetitive.

Whitlock has made his living off of stirring the pot. That's what he's doing on a national level now.

Look at his article - The Colts being overly white, talks about Rothlesberger coming off suspension for alleged sexual misconduct, talks about people should be giving Vick a chance, picks on KC's first round pick because he knows he has a following in KC and it will piss everyone off.

Good job by Whitlock attempting to generate controversy. I'd expect a Lebron article within a few days.

I think he meant "overtly" white.

Clearly, they don't even try to pretend they're black or part black or jive or anything.
