Hey guys new poster here have been following CF for several years now after I Googled "What happened to the white running back". I'm sure thats quite a common story!
To the topic, TG will not be traded from Min. They are too scared of AP getting injured/falling off the boat. When they drafted him, I believe they never envisioned him being a starter or a bench warmer. I think it was a ploy to make AP actually work for his job!
On another topic I think that the demise of the Vikings this season is 100% attributable to the drafting of TG. To clarify, who remembers back in training camp when the Williams were trying to injure our man? Guess what, the other white players on the team noticed. They also noticed the lack of any type of admonishment for this thuggish behavior. If you watch their games closely on mute (as we all know the announcers will render you retarded if you listen) I think you may see, what may well be called a racial rebellion in the NFL. Now this is just my opinion based purely on speculation.
But what say you my fellow CFers? Could it be that we are seeing a group of white football players, who know the truth behind the Caste System and are finely fed up? Are they protesting for equality?
Although possible. I tend to think that it's more likely that the incident in training camp, coupled with whatever other derogatory behaviors followed. Caused white players (even if subconsciously) to no longer identify with their black counterparts. Causing a massive rift in the team.
And as anyone who has played the game will tell you, if you don't have ten other men on the field out there working with and for each other you will go nowhere.
