wppete Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/09/06/antonio-brown-called-mike-mayock-a-cracker-on-wednesday/ “More details about the Wednesday conversation between Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown and General Manager Mike Mayock have come to light, including language used by Brown that escalated the situation ahead of Thursday’s reports of a possible suspension. The conversation came after Brown posted a letter from Mayock informing him of fines for missing practice time on social media and PFT has learned, via a league source, that Mayock told Brown that the team preferred to keep such matters private. Brown then began hurling insults at Mayock that included calling him a “cracker.” Previous reports also indicated that Brown threatened to punch Mayock in the face during the exchange. Josina Anderson of ESPN also reports that Brown used the word cracker and other “cuss words” during the exchange, but quotes a team source as saying that the altercation never appeared to be spilling from verbal to physical. “[Mayock] was like, ‘I’m cool, I understand your displeasure,'” the source said. “[Mayock] sort of just like . . . just walked away because he saw it escalate.” Word on Thursday was that the Raiders were planning to suspend Brown, but nothing has been announced at this point and Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus has said his client wants to repair the relationship with the team.” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) I use to think "cracker" meant white folks were white like Saltine Crackers. It wasn't till recently I found out it has to do with the cracking of a whip.

Antonio Brown wants a good relationship with the Raiders, Drew Rosenhaus says Posted by Michael David Smith on September 6, 2019, 10:53 AM EDT The agent for Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is continuing to work toward salvaging the relationship between his client and the team. Drew Rosenhaus said on ESPN this morning that although Brown and Raiders General Manager Mike Mayock did have a run-in, there’s no reason team and player can’t coexist. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/09/06/antonio-brown-wants-a-good-relationship-with-the-raiders-drew-rosenhaus-says/ Edited September 6, 2019 by OldTimeAFLGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other fact is that the context around it isn't nearly as impactful as the context around other racial slurs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Imagine the backlash if Mayock had said anything even insinuating it was about race, let alone a racial slur. He'd never work again, and would probably have to leave the country. Why is "cracker" ok? That word doesn't affend me or anybody I know, but we all know what happens when a white person says anything regarding race in today's society. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
