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.

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

He has to write shit like this to get attention. He has zero imagination and talent to be a sports writer. He's a fat dousche bag. STOP READING HIS GARBAGE!

This just in: Eric Berry is a bust after 3 games. Thanks for saving us some time JWhit!


As for the Colts part, it didn't bother me. He made it clear it was an observation and if anything a positive one. He then tied it back into his unhappiness with the fatherless nature of a lot of American black culture and how it's affected their success as professional athletes. You may disagree but I wouldn't call it simply stirring the pot.

He's clearly stirring the pot. He writes 10 articles blasting whitey, and then he writes one like this so people think he's balanced.

This is Matt Cassels problem. He needs to unleash his inner brotha' and go black on the Colts.

I believe the Colts and Patriots have had the most white people on their team for the last couple years. They also had the most college graduates. I just assumed they carried too many kickers and punters.
