....and the answer is..... (apparently) ..... when it's said by a person of color.
A few years ago, an ESPN sports commentator said: "I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They're interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there's a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn't deserve."
The Reporter was soon after forced to resign from ESPN.
This week, an HBO sports commentator said about NBA Commissioner David Stern: "But his efforts were typical of a commissioner, who has always seemed eager to be viewed as some kind of modern plantation overseer treating NBA men as if they were his boys, it’s part of Stern’s M.O. Like his past self-serving edicts on dress code or the questioning of officials, his moves are intended to do little more than show how he’s the one keeping the hired hands in their place."
I wonder if this Reporter will be asked to resign?
The first reporter was Rush Limbaugh speaking of Donovan McNabb. This last one was Bryant Gumbel on his HBO program, 'Real Sports'.
It wasn't a trick question - it's just a giveaway answer. After all this is how Gumball explained his disdain for the Winter Olympics: "Try not to laugh when someone says these are the world’s greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention"
You figure it out..... btw Pilgrims, the average salary this year in the NBA, the plantation 'home' for all of those poor 'boys' that Stern oversees is .................. $4,8000,000!!!! That's the average salary.
