Seriously, this is so freaking stupid by ESPN!  Unbelievably irresponsible and now people who only caught the headline and didnt catch the 10 seconds in the middle of a 10 minute segment that admitted he made the comments over a month ago are going to rerun the story as if its true.  I am so disgusted right now, just a complete joke of journalism.

 

If First Take and ESPN want to debate whether or not it played a role, fine go right ahead.  BUT DONT put a headline up falsely claiming the player blames race because of a question he answered a month ago where he felt (rightfully so) that black QB's are held to a different standard.  

 

Seriously, I would be on the phone with lawyers this morning about this if I was TT.  This is so slanderous and will negatively impact him even though he never once said what they wrote as their headline.

Saw this.   Don't hear any race stuff

This isnt the segment...they did an entire segment titled:  "Taylor suggests race played a role in benching" which just aired like 10 minutes ago live.

 

And they created that segment and headline based on Taylor's comments answering a direct question a month ago, and it has literally nothing to do with anything Taylor has said since benching.

I've asked the mods to take it down.  Didn't mean to start something; I just glanced at a TV and saw this streaming during First Take and wanted to find out what the deal was.  And it's crap.  

 

Not your fault, you posted only what you saw and you posted as a question too.  Its on ESPN for this type of irresponsible nonsense.  If you take it down, someone else will just post it later now that other media is falsely running the story too on the back of ESPN's BS one.  So should stay up, but a change of title by mods pointing out the false story would probably be good.

While I think the liberal media is trying to make a non story... well a story the real issue here is how well liked Tyrod is. All you have to do is look at Shady'sbody language and response on how he feels Peterman will do. McDermott has to be careful here as I think if Peterman struggles he will lose this team fast. I hope I'm wrong. Also instead of the racially charged thing how about someone exposes Tyrod's lack of ability to read a defense . That's the real story here.

you know, I've never been racist, still not, never will be but it's getting really tiring hearing these players play the race card.

 

tyrod, you did not and likely never would of lived up to expectations. take it like a man and leave the race card bull **** out of it!

 

*that is if he is playing it?

 

Agree with this 100%.

Cutting Taylor is a half assed measure if there ever was one.  Our First amendment Rights need to be severely limited or revoked if we're ever going to get better TV ratings and sell more pizzas.

First amendment rights don’t protect someone from getting fired in the private sector... hell, any sector...
