Camp Update Thread?

Re: Camp Update Thread?

Oh damn, you're right, he was born in Africa. Now I understand your comment about not taking "skin color" literally. Steve Nash is an African American, that's why he's good at bb. African Americans are good at bb regardless of their skin color. Am I getting that right?

LOL no. i think newsy is just being a smartass because i used "skin color" rather than "race" or some other term. obviously somones actual skin color does not affect their abilities.

nor have I ever seen any actual white people or black people.
they're all shades of pink and brown, with the occasional red (sunburn, ouch) or orange (jersey shore)

Then what you were saying really is racist if you believe "skin color" impacts performance.

You really, really, really need to think before you speak.

HEY! A moderator! Care to address the issue which served as motivation for this thread?

Meh, not really. I don't know where the mods stand on that thread and I'm not sure it matters.

There is no way you could possibly think that I was talking about the actual physical color of skin. If you want to troll, fine, but don't call me a racist while you do it.

I don't think you are a racist.

However, I have heard from several people that you favor people with a certain color of skin, and based on those statements, I predict that you are more likely to favor people of that color of skin.

Then I should be more aware of negative perceptions around me and consider how they will affect my e-life

Okay folks, everyone count to ten. Seriously, count to ten. 9 year is telling us that he has heard from players that they feel they were slighted due to the color of the skin.

Fact: There are players that feel they have been slighted due to the color of the skin. 9 year is right.

What we are debating here is whether or not Farley or anyone on his staff is actually benching players due to the color of their skin. The answer to that is easily answered by anyone who knows our coaching staff. Most of them (won't say all because I don't know them all) would sell their freaking sole for a National Title. They are not going to comprimise the ability to win a football game to simply have a white player in a stereotypically black position or a black player in a stereotypically white position.

Think of guys like:

Justin Sandy (white guy, stereotypically black position)
Brandon Keith (black guy, stereotypically white position)
Austin Howard (black guy, stereotypically white position)


Who is going to say that Brandon or Austin are played because they are black? Only some slow fat white kid from Southern Iowa who thought he was an NFL caliber guy.

Who was going to say that Justin Sandy played only because he was white? Only some black kid who thought he was better.

These are 3 examples of Panthers who are in the or have been in the NFL who have played for this staff. I am sure there are more, these are just higher profile ones. Just think nine year, you might know that fat white kid from Southern Iowa I am talking about. JK

You are ignoring the fact that 9yr predicted that Farley would choose the black QB based on these comments.

Clearly, he believes the players who made these statements, and clearly, he was ignorant enough to bring those comments onto the board, and adopt them himself.

Other than that, I think you are correct.

Re: Camp Update Thread?

my ignorance lies in the fact that I expected my comments to be interpreted properly. silly me.

Re: Camp Update Thread?

ive had several players tell me over the years that farley tends to favor the black players. this is why, despite davis being the heir apparent, that i predicted that rennie would start without ever having seen him play.

Thats like saying most white girls go for the black guys (typically athletes) at the bars..oh wait..

Coach jake always gives preference to Iranian-americans over white americans.

No, it's the only thing you could have been talking about. You only said it a half-million times, and no other interpretation makes any sense.

Maybe you're an exceptionally poor communicator, but most likely you need to think twice as long as anyone else when you speak/type.

Meh, not really. I don't know where the mods stand on that thread and I'm not sure it matters.

Of course it matters. People choose to spend their time here, and when their work is deleted without so much as single word as to why, that's a problem. The bigger problem is that nobody knows what the rules are around here, meaning the only rule is "You may post whatever the dozen or so moderators like."

A simple explanation. You owe those of us who make this site what it is at least that. It isn't like you have any reason to believe a simple explanation won't be respected - it will. The inability to give a reason indicates either that there was no reason, or that the moderator who made the decision lacks confidence in the basis for it.
