The Mainstream Media is Racist!

Football fans do not cheer for the black quarterback who threw the ball, while not cheering for the white receiver who caught it.

Football fans do not cheer the black running back who carried the ball while ignoring the white lineman who opened the hole.

Football fans are color-blind, rooting for the content of a man’s character…err, the state of a man’s skill, rather than the color of his skin.

The football fan is closer to the ideal espoused by the Rev. Martin Luther King than the Mainstream Media will ever be. The overriding theme of this year’s Super Bowl, like the last decade, is not that of two deserving teams battling it out on the field for this year’s supremacy. The story line in the MSM is “Finally, a Black Head Coach will win the Super Bowl.”

One would think it was 1965 in Selma, Alabama to hear the MSM tell the story. Historic!

The fact of the matter is that the American public has long since moved beyond all that. It is only the MSM that is still living in the “Jim Crow” South.

NEWS FLASH: Note to MSM: The NFL has been integrated. Move on!

One would think/hope/pray that this year would finally put this puppy to bed. While hope might well spring eternal, don’t bet the farm!

The more likely scenario for next year will be “Who will become only the second black head coach to lead a team to the Super Bowl title. Yatta, yatta, yatta!

For the record, while I have nothing against Lovie Smith, I favor Indianapolis this year. Payton Manning has arguably been the best quarterback in football for the past three to four years and deserves to win.

Head coach Tony Dungy, besides having established a long record of coaching success, is a fine man from a fine family. And, he is from my own hometown of Jackson, Michigan. Is that a good enough reason to want to see him succeed, simply because we share friends, family and a hometown? It’s good enough for me!

GO COLTS!
