Packers cut Vince Young

[Maschine_Man]

How are sports insulated from the societies they operate in? The history of all major sports leagues runs against the idea they are some sort of utopia where race doesn't factor and merit is the only deciding factor.

You do realize the numbers of black QB's in the league is unprecedented right? The number of black players in the NFL has stayed constant for decades yet suddenly theres a big increase in black QBs at both college and NFL level. How do you account for this? If professional sports is "not the real world" and winning is the only criteria in roster evaluation, why did it take so long to see this number of black QB's( still not a huge number of starters).

Professional sports is not the real world. And I'll stand by that 100%.

There are more black qbs in the league and in college because high schools are allowing black players to play qb more rather than converting them to a different position.

If you want to argue racism existing on those levels then don't waste your time. I already know it does.

But the nfl, and pro sports is big business. And they aren't worried so much about the color of the player rather the skills and how that player can help the team win.

Like I said, teams can't afford to be racist. If you think all these dudes are so racist then why aren't they passing on the rg3's or cam newtons etc?

They aren't. Because they are great players

The Rooney rule isn't there to tell you who the best candidates are, it's there to expose guys that wouldn't get a second look otherwise. And in that case there is/was definitely racism involved.

But at the end of the day teams are trying to win. And a lot of times teams go to what they know.

The Rooney rule, just gave teams more possibilities, by giving minorities a chance to be seen/heard.

The Rooney Rule has no place in this conversation, as we're talking about players, not coaches. Though the cries of "racism" would be much more warranted were we talking about coaches.

I didn't say the packers are racist but the decision prolly has to deal with race. But fukk this, I know better than to discuss race issues with white folks. Sorry for playing the "race card" we know race plays no part in employment opportunites in 2013. My bad bro, Shouts out to O'reilly and Hannity.

I'm black and the idea that "garbage black QBs get cut because they're black" is the biggest piece of shyt reasoning that I read on this forums. Y'all play the race card so fukkin much y'all wouldn't know real racism if it stood outside your house with a white robe, draped in a confederate flag with & a burning cross in your lawn.

SMH. Y'all ready to go to war over fukkin Vince Young, a true has been. @bk @Brooklynzson when we getting negs back, im tired of reading this bullshyt

Soooo...where are all the people that were saying it was a great idea for Vince Young to run to Philly to be a backup when there were a ton of a potential NFL starting QB jobs?

Oh so were sarcastic now? Yet only a few pages ago you were Stokely Carmichael of The Coli talking about the plight of the current black QB. Where that tough talkin, Nation of Islam, Black Panther Freedom Fightin negro go?

We really need to get @3Rivers and the other Coli smiley experts to put a flattop & c00n eyes on you @JLova's posts or avatars b/c I've never seen such idiocy on these forums for washed up QBs under the guise of race.

So they forgot VY was black when they signed him?

He walked into the locker room and management went

Vince is better than 1/3 of the starters right now.
