Ahh, the age old black quarterback debate. Can't ever get enough of this one. That's not even to say that there is no debate to be had. Black quarterbacks are viewed differently than white quarterbacks. They are generally seen as more athletic, and less intellectual. I don't agree with it, but it is true. With that said, I refuse to sit here and have someone tell me that RGIII is being treated unfairly because he's black. RGIII is being treated unfairly because he sucks, and in a business as cutthroat as the NFL, no one cares about you when you suck. RGIII lack of ability on a football field transcends race. Let's make a list of things we would change about RGIII as a quarterback...
1) He's a mental midget that can't handle criticism. 2) A strong gust of wind could sprain his ankle. 3) He doesn't get along with anyone else in his entire locker room. 4) He still hasn't learned how to be a pocket passer. 5) He never takes responsibility for his mistakes. 6) He's black. (if your against that sort of thing) Even the most racist of Redskins fans wouldn't put his skin color in their top 5. So there you have it Chris. The Redskins logo, that marginalizes the history of an entire ethnic group, is FARRRRR more racist than their treatment of a shitty quarterback that happens to be African American. You can't sit here and tell me that the Redskins logo and their refusal to play a black quarterback rival each other in terms of discrimination. Why you ask? Because the guy that is responsible for keeping the team name 'Redskins' is the exact same guy that is RGIII's biggest (only?) fan. If Daniel Snyder had a fucking pussy he would have Robert Griffin's children. There's not a doubt in my mind about that. If the guy was good enough to be a starting NFL quarterback then he would be playing. Not only because I'm sure the Redskins are tired of losing due to subpar play under center, but also because their owner would absolutely demand it. Now, I don't think the 'Skins have handled the RGIII situation well either, but that's because their owner is a an absolute buffoon, not because he's a buffoon that hates black people.
