Tonight (Sunday) at 8pm ET, ESPN is showing "The Color Orange: The Condredge Holloway Story." It is part of their Year of The Quarterback series, the first being Tim Tebow. This film is about a QB, Condredge Holloway, who played for Tennessee over 35 years ago. I saw him play several times.
Guess what the premise is? Among other things, Holloway supposedly blazed a trail for Cam Newton. He had to "overcome prejudice and stereotypes."
Country music star Kenny Chesney made the film about Holloway, his childhood hero. "I didn't care that he was black. I didn't care about color," Chesney says.
