oldmanfan Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I just passed by a TV in the doctor's lounge and they had on First Take. And the banner at the bottom said that Taylor is suggesting the change may be racially motivated? where's that coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 they totally butchered that headline. they referenced his interview from a month ago when he said it was hard being a black qb and then ESPN decided to add fire to it by putting that topic up like he just said it yesterday due to his benching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are using comments by TT from a month ago when he stated African American QBs are held to a different standard in general. It’s literally fake news, it was NOT said in regards to his benching. One of the most irresponsible stories I have ever seen. Honestly, ESPN needs to be held accountable for this garbage. This is the kind of thing that can hurt Tyrod's career for those who didnt watch this terrible segment and came away with the 100% False idea that Tyrod blamed race for benching. If I was TT, I would talk to lawyers about slander, its that bad. Edited November 16, 2017 by Alphadawg7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 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?

thenorthremembers Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Regardless if he said it recently or not, the narrative is out there. Heard it yesterday on WGR and now ESPN is running with it. Bottom line is good Quarterbacks dont get benched. Ask Warren Moon, Donovan McNabb, Dante Culpepper in Minnesota, Michael Vick, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Jameis Winston and you can even add Marcus Mariota to that mix because I dont think its fair to limit the scope of the statement. The statement is wrong, and detrimental in so many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26TrapDraw Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 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.
