I remember some years ago watching an NFL game in which the sportscasters described a not-very-well-know white receiver as a hard-working possession type who ran precise routes and had good hands. In fact, I later read that the guy was the fastest receiver on the team, though not a particularly good route runner, and not sure-handed. So they can't even get the back-handed compliments right.Black Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347464061061628147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-75723754668616727812009-10-14T21:06:11.446-07:002009-10-14T21:06:11.446-07:00To be fair, announcers do use euphemisms to laud p...To be fair, announcers do use euphemisms to laud praise on unathletic white players, especially in basketball.<br /><br />The adjectives scrappy, a hustler, a real go-getter, and a relentless motor are all used to describe white players who succeed on trying real hard and not actual skills.OneSTDVhttp://onestdv.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-12685283037399141232009-10-14T20:46:40.441-07:002009-10-14T20:46:40.441-07:00I don't know if Rush was right about McNabb sp...I don't know if Rush was right about McNabb specifically, but his broader point about press coverage of black quarterbacks <a href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NDA5NmMyZDlmZTg3ODg5Nzk1YzBlZGYyYjAxYjY1YTA=" rel="nofollow">appears to be accurate</a>.Scrutineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556970103045514403noreply@blogger.com
