it has been a very frustrating day of listening to announcers, for the most part...
during the Arkansas-Kentucky game, after Crosby Tuck made a nice catch and then out ran a black defend for a 21-yard gain. of course the announcer said "he uses his deceptive speed to pull away."
the fact that Tuck is the fastest receiver on the Hogs' roster apparently is only possible because he is sneakier than a ninja.
additionally, throughout the game, the announcers have been relentlessly slobbering over the fact that Kentucky has "African Americans" for both offensive and defensive coordinators. it has been a VERY important part of this game, evidently...
also, they showcased a commercial with Ashley Judd doing the talking about "the SEC: a Story of Character" where they profiled some old black Kentucky football player. somehow him not murdering anyone is worthy of acclaim...
further media diminishment of the white athlete was when broadcasting legend Keith Jackson introduced the Washington State defense... "the defensive line is out-manned we ALL know that..." he said. i'm guessing i don't have to tell you the d-line had 3 white starters. meanwhile, the rest of the defense was filled with "playmakers" and "real good ones" despite the fact the secondary sucks donkey balls and starts THREE first-year starters that have been getting torched!
in other blatant refusal to acknowledge white athletic performance... during the highlight show i just watched during halftime showed the Ok State-Texas Tech highlight and only showed a touchdown catch by a black OSU receiver. WTF?!?! they COMPLETELY ignored Danny Amendola's performance!
also, they showed the Syracuse-Louisville highlights and DIDN"T show the 87-yard kick return for a TD by the white safety.
*sarcastically says* i am beginning to detect a theme here...
