Yes, Larry. I agree with your comment that race is an additional factor in sports and in everything that comes under public scrutiny. I also shared your opinion when he came out of college that McNabb wouldn’t make it big in the NFL, and I, too was pleased that he did.

However, let’s all keep in mind that the race factor cuts both ways. There are whites who hold the KKK mentality of the 1920″s. Then again, there are many blacks who hold that same feeling for whites.

We need to judge and be judged as individuals, not members of any group. That was part of MLK’s dream. Unfortunately, the media chooses to jump on the whites who are prejudiced, white giving a free pass to blacks who are prejudiced.

Everyone writes about the enduring prejudice against black qb’s, but accepts a movie title like “White Men Can’t Jump”. To me, one is as bad as the other.

Isiah Thomas, who is on trial for sexual harassment at the present time, said that it was okay for black men to call women bitches, but not for white men. He also, by the way, said that Larry Bird would be just another good player if he were black and not white. Not one black person has spoken out in criticism of Thomas’ position on those two issues.

Bottom line, we need to address racial prejudice wherever it occurs, and regardless by whom it originates.

JS, you’re right about that. There isn’t a QB in the league who hasn’t been criticized, and I think Donovan knows that. I think he’s saying that race is just an additional factor. All QBs get criticized, white or black, and heavily.

I agree one hundred percent. I wouldn’t be wearing all black today if what Donovan was saying was a genuine exaggeration.

I guess Donavan wouldn’t know about what Rex Grossman has gone through in Chicago the past few seasons.
