I don't know if any of you watched the NFL channel's "Playbook" program
last weekend, but I was shocked to see Sterling Sharpe do a long piece
on the white WRs and DBs playing in the NFL. Believe it or not, he was
pretty fair and totally positive about Stokely and Bennett and
mentioned a personal anecdote about ex-Falcons CB Scott Case. Sharpe
said he once ran the best route he ever ran against Case, but found him
sticking to him like glue, and when he got back to the bench he told
some skeptcial teammates, "he can play." I was VERY impressed with
Sharpe and have to think that no white reporter could have gotten away
with this piece. Of course, I can't think of any white sports
"journalist" who believes white players can play in the NFL.
