Just refer to all people as "human". No woman, no man, no boy, no girl, no black, no white, no Muslim. Don't acknowledge any sort of difference in anyone. We are all the same.

Maybe not since the beginning of time, but it has for the last 200 years in this country.

So yeah, it automatically means you're a racist.

This is the context loochy.

It seems to be you that can't understand context. Ol' Billy is criticizing his youth and immaturity by using the word "Boy". Not the color of his skin. Ol' Billy is faaaar from the first do this. It's always been the topic around Cam.

This is far more about over sensitivity and looking for something that isn't there.

Mr. Bill should have thought about context. How this would have been perceived given the racial context that surrounds Cam.

Whatever happened to "if you've nothing good to say, don't say it.

Mr. Bill has other racial shit his life, IIRC.

As I mentioned earlier, I could have said that and I would have absolutely no clue that "boy" is a racial putdown.

Complete fabricated bullshit. You have NOTHING to support your theory that suggests it was meant in a racist way. NOTHING. While we have a loooong history related to Cam's immaturity.

I know this might require the use of common sense to understand rather than just immediately screaming "racist", but maybe you should give it a shot.

On one hand we have a man who spent most of his adult life playing alongside black men, being coached by black men, and a young QB who is often criticized for immaturity.

On the other, we have your stupid opinion based on absolutely nothing but the color of their skin....

Hrmmmm....

So what you're telling me is if he had used the word "Child" instead of "Boy" (boy, a word used to describe a male child) then he wouldn't be a racist anymore?

Got it.

With all due respect, I find this hard to believe. Social awareness.

You need some black history lessons. It's going on now. How convenient.

I have a real problem with it when blacks play the race card when no racism occurs. I also have a real problem with it when whites over-react to this very real problem by denying that something racist has occurred when it has. I believe Bill Romanowski knew exactly what he was saying, and he knew the context in which he was saying it.

If you refuse to acknowledge racism when it IS demonstrated, you lose just as much credibility as blacks who play the race card whenever they think they can gain an advantage by doing so.

But it was a tweet I mean really how can anyone know what his intent was.

I am guess him being a defensive player he was calling the primadonna QB as acting like a little boy.

Absolutely. It's hard to believe you don't get this.

I don't know why you find it hard to believe. Why would there be anything racial about "boy"?

The "history lesson" is coming from white guys on a football message board.

I mean, no one has ever called Cam out about his immaturity or anything. No one has ever said anything about Cam acting like a petulant child.

THIS IS NEW NEWS!

It happens didnt Peyton walk off the SB field and run to lockers when NO beat him?

Cam overthrew a wide open receiver on the first play of the game. It looked like Super Bowl nerves before Denver even had a chance to get into his head.
