Right. His children are just as white as they are black.

Have you noticed the new ad trends? They go out of their way to include black and mixed race couples. That's great and all, perfectly appropriate, but....

Look at the mixed couples. All of them, even the animated ones. It will be black woman / white man. Never the other way around. Because GAWD ALMIGHTY if'n those black men take our white women.

Just an observation.

I think it has more to do with the fact that, if you're being intentionally inclusive but still trying to target shoppers who remain predominantly female, then yes, black female mixed couple makes more sense.

Are we really gonna ignore the fact that if there was an All-Color bowl from this years crop of players that the White team would have no corners??

Or, this:
Former Houston Texans star J.J. Watt made light of criticism from ex-Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall instead of arguing with the wall of the internet.

Mendenhall wrote on X on Monday that he was sick of "average white guys commenting on football" and proposed that the Pro Bowl should be segregated between the Black and White stars of the NFL.

Watt initially joked that the White team would get "cooked corner" as no one would be able to guard Tyreek Hill. One person on X accused Watt of "ignoring the blatant racism," and the NFL great responded on Tuesday.

"Buddy, listen. We don’t need to be offended by everything in the entire world. He said white guys can’t play football. I thought to myself ‘I’m a white guy. I’m very good at football’ and concluded that his statement had no validity. Instead of arguing, I had some fun. End."
End, indeed.

This is the correct response lol
His reasoning for putting Puka Nacua on the All-White team: "He's an islander but he doesn't say the word"

That's what I was saying earlier. Lighten up and just have fun with this. No one is, nor should they, take Mendenhall seriously. That just validates his b.s. Let's all just have fun with this like most of us already are.

Delanie Walker gave a stab at it. He did a really good job. I didn't know Erik McCoy was black. I'd also put Wirfs in place of Tunsil.

Now that he's listed as a LT, he probably missed him when he was looking at current RT's.

Superfluous waste of roster spot, but okay. I was just wondering about kickoffs.

Punter kicks-off. TDs or bust and go for 2 every time.

All joking aside, statistics say this is a winning strategy. It has been proven time and again at various levels of football, but it never makes its way to the big guys because it requires the coach to put his ass on the line repeatedly.

Yeah it’s tougher when jobs are on the line, and the opposing defense usually has actual cornerbacks unlike the All-White team.

There do seem to be more 4th down conversion attempts, so we may see someone w the stones to adopt it soon. I wonder what the actual stats are on success with that approach, and also the # of times NFL teams opt to go for it on 4th now compared to a decade or so ago.

They don't have anybody that can cover Cheetah anyway. No need to kick FGs.
