The other fact is that the context around it isn't nearly as impactful as the context around other racial slurs. That’s kind of what I’m getting at. If you called me fat, bald, ugly, dumb, etc... it would hurt a lot more. I’m much, much, much more sensitive about that kind of stuff than I would be “cracker.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorquemada Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 11 minutes ago, Golden Goat said: When Burfict is the adult in the room, you're in trouble...From ESPN: "The source stressed the confrontation escalated quickly, but it never appeared to be getting physical, and players, including linebacker Vontaze Burfict, attempted to separate Brown from the situation in order to calm him down." This really is the craziest part of an already crazy story. To be fair though, Burfict's hit on AB is one of the reasons AB's brain doesn't work right any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that's what happens. I think he is going for a Win-Win situation. Win #1, he is released and signs with whatever team he likes. If no one signs him, Win #2, he sues the league like Kap.

I think the majority are saying it doesn't upset them and they wouldn't care, just that it's hypocritical that a 'racist term' (it is racist cause it's meant to be a derogatory term based on a person's skin color) is ok against someone who's white. Most blacks don't seem to have an issue with a certain word as long as it's not spoken from someone who is white.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t carry the same weight as other slurs. But, no one worth a damn wants to be compared to a slave owner. Apparently this expression predates the plantation era and condescendingly denotes a white person too poor to own slaves. Ironically there is no shame or disrepute in being poor.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 It's really sad to see this happen with AB, at the end of the day he's a hall of famer, he has put his heart and soul into getting to where he is and now we see this side of him that to me screams some type of emotional issue. He was never a problem up until this past year in Pittsburgh and all of a sudden he's a diva, problem child, wife beater and now a racist? I think there is alot more going on with him and hope he gets the help he needs. He was a good story back in the day clawing his way up the depth chart as a 6th rounder, I'd really like him to turn it around in Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Brown attends Raiders team meeting, gives “emotional apology” Posted by Michael David Smith on September 6, 2019, 12:23 PM EDT Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is back at the team facility today, trying to make amends. Brown attended a team meeting this morning and issued “an emotional apology,” Josina Anderson of ESPN reports. The Raiders’ team captains, who reportedly told Jon Gruden that they would back him on whatever he wants to do with Brown, stood with Brown at the team meeting. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/09/06/antonio-brown-attends-raiders-team-meeting-gives-emotional-apology/ Edited September 6, 2019 by OldTimeAFLGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
