Honestly if HE thinks it is racism that's his to own and he has his own experiences to draw from.  I just wish he would have answered differently.

No one has explained why this man is getting far more scrutiny than other QBs have, en route to Super Bowl appearances, even though they've all done similar things, if not worse. I detailed about a half dozen Super Bowl QBs myself. Didn't hear nearly the same outcry with any of them. Why?


Media has played more of a role with the "race" thing just as much as the scrutiny.
I think the "level of vitriol" mostly comes from the media. And by media I don't just mean ESPN but the whole glut of blogs and other nonsense dying for clicks. If you actually talk to real human beings, in the real world, hardly anyone cares. But 24/7 internet/media needs something to spike the hits.


But the media knows how to suck people in, they know how to draw the racists out of the shadows, then when they inevitably show up it gets paraded around front and center and made to look like it's this overwhelming tidal wave of opinion..... just the same way every other minor little detail gets overblown every day, whether it's about some Kardashian "dissing" some dumbass on twitter, or it's Donald Trump's hair, or the width of the pulp fibers on Obama's birth certificate. Everything is a Big Deal if we let them convince us that it is.
