I wonder why you're so sensitive to racism coming from black people and suddenly turn into Stevie Wonder when it's time to see it coming from the other direction

It's jealousy, really. And yeah, there may be some prejudice involved as well.
I'm sure there's a lot of NFL players out there that hate the fact that Mahomes gets so much praise. They hate that he accomplished so much in so little time, and made it all look so damn easy. The fact that he came from a privileged upbringing makes it just that much easier for them to be jealous and spiteful. It's not much different than what happened to Russel Wilson in Seattle.

Even a simple way to do it would be to throw out the lowest and highest 5 percent of votes for each player. That would probably fix it as long as you didn't have an entire team coordinating a fake vote. Who was that baseball team that was rigging the all-star game votes a while back by giving ballots to fans at the stadium? I remember that they would give out the ballots and then they had a board with nails where you could just push your ballot onto the board to poke the spots where the team's players were, so they were getting thousands and thousands of straight-team votes at every position.

Back in the day i recall you agreeing with this perspective when talking about the Russel Wilson situation.

It’s not like I’m saying that Black people are never victims of racism though. Of course they are and when it’s blatant I will call it out and condemn it. I have no problem being consistent. Please show me one example of legitimate racism where I “turned into Stevie Wonder”. I’ll wait... Also, I’m not saying that this is necessarily racism. It’s just weird bias.

I absolutely love that Mahomes was ranked #4 on the top 100. You're kidding yourself if you don't think players pay attention to these rankings. Mahomes isn't the kind of guy to go on twitter and complain about it (ala Keenan Allen) but do you remember the Chiefs vs Bears game on primetime when he counted all the way to #10 after a touchdown? It didn't get talked about a lot but it was an obvious **** you to how in the world did he fall to #10.
I have zero doubts in my mind that Mahomes is going to have a little extra motivation with our date vs the Ravens in Baltimore (primetime game again) to prove that he is the #1 player in the NFL. Little extra fuel for the fire never hurt. |

Also, of course Marlon Humphrey voted Jackson. I bet every Raven did.
Just like every Chief voted Mahomes.

I don’t think it’s racism because it’s a stupid popularity contest that has no long term effects on anyone. In my experience of talking about sports with others, many but not all black people favor a certain kind of athlete over others. It could be vice versa as well. Remember that reporter that got fired from ESPN a couple years ago for calling RG III a cornball brother? I don’t think they hate Pat I think they prefer Lamar because of his background and style of play.

Well, yeah, but the Chiefs were doing the reasonable thing by voting for Mahomes.

Given that person's intelligence level, I'm surprised that he got three of the four letters right.
