Nike climbing shoes? Serious climbers wouldn't touch those with a 10-foot pole. Nor be swayed by some black dude hocking them.

I know it's hard to do sometimes, but I like to try to see the glass as half-full rather than half-empty. So here goes a little thought experiment (or reframing, for those of you familiar with NLP): Maybe it's not such a bad thing that White athletes are relegated to playing TE instead...

I knew it wouldn't take me long to find someone who got me wrong. Homer. No, what I'm saying isn't that they kicked the Skins up and down the field. Lots of teams can do that. What I AM saying is ever since the spying against the Jets earlier this year, and the MANY times I've turned on a...

Don't get me wrong on what I'm about to say. I love the fact that the Patriots have one of the Whitest teams in the league. In fact, what Brady, Welker, et al are doing is fabulous, and I couldn't be happier. And I think Belichick is a genius for a coach. I've read the book about him (Education...

Well, I might be a newbie, but I'm not a dumb newbie. On the front page of the forum, the Happy Hour section is described thusly: "Vent, or just hang out and relax. Less serious topics and meditations on the human condition go here" The first word says it all - "vent". I myself have vented...

My granddaughter was born October 11th (a couple of weeks ago - I just found out over the weekend). I was worried she might be part minority (since my daughter isn't married, and I have little control over her choices, though she is 24 and can make up her own mind). Found out the father (if you...

I'm going to rant, and this looks like a good place and thread to do it. No, I don't watch MTV or VH1, probably never will again. I gave up on contemporary music in the late 90s, when it turned into a bunch of sh!! rap and hip-hop I can't stand to listen to. It's not just MTV or VH1. And...

Before this season, Denver's offensive line refused to talk to the media, and notice how they were always accused of dirty play. Face it, folks. Everyone plays dirty. Several teams cut-block, everyone holds, and a bunch do leg-whips. It's part of the game. Just don't get caught, and everything's...

I told one of my fellow Bronco fans on the way into work this morning, "There's the answer for either the Broncos or the Steelers - just throw the ball to the White guys!" That was a beautiful thing last night, seeing all those White players do so well. And the picture in the Denver Post...

It's crazy. Even stupid. Scheffler gets benched, while stone-hands Graham drops a 4th down pass against Jacksonville, then gets an delay of game penalty for spiking the ball. End result - Broncos lose. Five bucks said Scheffler makes that catch and the drive continues.

I like Elway. He carried teams kicking and screaming into Super Bowls they didn't belong in. Imagine if he'd had a running game and JerryRice in his prime... But I'll guarantee you this, they could play NFL football forever and the best QB will always be a White man.

Here's a sport for us White people to enjoy. Well, at least *I* enjoy it. The best climbers in the world are Whites (mostly European, some American). The Sherpas are bold in the Himalayas simply because their bodies have adapted to living at altitude. We still climb circles around them...

I'm a runner, and did a half marathon in Lincoln, NE a couple of years ago. Very few black faces, but of course, look at the part of the country I'm in. Outside Omaha, there are extremely few blacks in Nebraska. And of course, the Lincoln marathon comes right on the heels of Boston, so we...

I'm not an expert, but I am a Bronco fan. It looks to me like Graham will start, but since Denver never seems to have a productive 3rd or 4th wide receiver, Scheffler should get a decent amount of action. This year may be no different, if Rod Smith and Brandon Stokely don't recover well from...

You forgot one - John Engelberger, DE, Broncos. And he may even get the start!

I read some of the editorials here, and picked up Mike Furrey for my fantasy team. I'm not starting him the first week (I have two other options), but I plan to keep him for the season. As for Stokely (I'm a Bronco fan, so I've been following that situation), he's been hurt, recovering from a...

Hi, all. A newbie here, at least new to the forum. I voted for the fourth option as well. The NFL is all about money. How many jerseys can they sell, how can they put a team in LA (who doesn't want one!), how many "exciting" players (read: black quarterbacks) can they put on the field, etc...
