Randy Gregory with 2 penalties on this drive. They might end up resulting in a Vikings TD
Well, at least Cooper Rush shined under the Primetime lights. Happy for him but a huge loss for Minn. Why didn't they go Thielen more??!!
For some reason, those black corner backs just keep leaving those pesky White receivers wide open. That must be part of the “White privilege” the kosher media and academia types keep telling me so much about.Thielen was, according to Weenieworld, the beneficiary of being "left wide open," something that apparently happens often with White receivers. It's not possible that Thielen used his talent and smarts to "get wide open," no, he was just "left wide open":
Adam Thielen caught 6-of-9 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against Dallas.
Thielen led the Vikings in receiving for the second straight week. The Cowboys left him wide open for a walk-in TD on the Vikings’ opening drive. He later added a clutch fourth-down catch for 32 yards. Thielen has started to heat up, posting 17 catches, 204 yards, and two touchdowns on 22 targets over the last two weeks. The Vikings get a matchup with the Ravens in Week 9.
No not just you. I think this happens far too often for it to be coincidental.Is it me or do white players have plays called backed when they make a big gain more often than black players?
I pointed it out about a month ago (page 7 of the Week 3 thread), although it's likely that someone else discovered it before that, since I'm relatively new here.Aikman obviously loves “thick thighed” athletes more than most. Not quite Chrissy level but pretty bad. I think Aikman is just a tad more of a room brightening smile type of guy than Chrissy!
I’m sorry I keep bringing up the “thick thighed” deal but I can’t stop laughing about it while being repulsed at the same time. I can’t remember who caught on to it first but I would like to buy him a beer if I ever meet em.
It's obvious the Titans need to get on the horn to Chicago and get Nall.
It happens to black backs too, no doubt about it. But whites are given so few opportunities it is another knife in the back to see their athletic big run called back... it is just magnified due to the very few white men allowed to run the ball.When holding is called, a replay of it is almost always shown, and in almost all cases there was indeed obvious holding. They wipe out plenty of big chunk plays by Blacks too. For example, watching the Patriots game yesterday, Damien Harris had a long TD run wiped out by a holding call and then later another long run. Slow sumos in particular are prone to holding when they get beat, and it's their holding that often opens up a hole that otherwise wouldn't be there.
If someone can provide evidence that all refs are instructed to instantly make up imaginary holding calls as soon as a White player touches the ball, that's great, otherwise let's get back to focusing on the Caste System.
