Report: McNabb says black QBs under more pressure

[Gunzlingr]

African-American quarterbacks face more pressure and more criticism than their white counterparts, Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb says in an interview scheduled to air on HBO on Tuesday night.
McNabb

McNabb, in an interview on "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel," tells interviewer James Brown that African-American quarterbacks such as himself face added pressure because there are fewer black QBs -- and because some still don't want black athletes playing the position.
"There's not that many African-American quarterbacks, so we have to do a little bit extra," McNabb tells HBO. "Because the percentage of us playing this position, which people didn't want us to play ... is low, so we do a little extra."




Later in the interview, Brown presses McNabb on criticism of his performance -- and if African-American QBs are graded more harshly.


"I pass for 300 yards, our team wins by seven, [mimicking] 'Ah, he could've made this throw, they would have scored if he did this,' " McNabb tells HBO.
"Doesn't every quarterback go through that?" Brown asks.


"Not everybody," McNabb replies.

Yeah, right. That is why the reporters stumble over themselves sucking off Vick and Young. What a crock.

What next, JP saying that hispanic quarterbacks get more criticism than black quarter backs?

Re: Report: McNabb says black QBs under more pressure

if people didnt pull the race card on non issues then it would be less of an issue all together. this im under pressure because im black not because im hurt all the time and more importantly a qb in the nfl is crap. It makes me so made when i hear someone say a comment like its cause im black or any other race for that matter. Listen i know racim still exists today but so does reverse racisim in a way. I understand what african americans have gone through in the past but what about jewish people i dont hear some player come out and say i get more pressure because im jewish. Some people need to get over their own pity party and then maybe things will start changing.

Apparently he hasnt been to the BZ board after a win where Losman and others still get picked apart. Gimme a break Donovan, I think TO was right about you.

isiah thomas says its worse if a white man uses the word ***** than a black man

black racism is at its peak and its starting to come out regularly now. as they get more comfortable speaking their mind without fear of reprisal more of their core feelings are coming out and they are often bad. thats good because its a huge problem and is the biggest lynchpin holding us all back from moving past this sickness

lets be frank, blacks have enjoyed a free ride for far too long when it comes to the perception of racism. and the amazing thing is that the pattern is virtually identical to that which i used to observe from whites while growing up in redneck crackerland. you would think they would recognize it easier since theyve lived through it themselves but guess what - nope

the ultimate irony now is that when you see a lone black person enter a social group of whites you will see people go out of their way to try to make the black feel comfortable. thats terrific and a stark contrast to the way it used to be. but observe a lone white, especially a white male, entering a predominantly black setting and you absolutely do not see the same courtesy

open your eyes my black brothers and sisters. it aint us no more. its yall

Yeah, well then there's more pressure on white RB's, WR's, LB's, CB's, SS's and FS's cuz there's so few of them.

Spare me this race bs. Emo kids have more balls than these card pullers.

I'd like it if all of us could just speak our minds and have thick skins. I hate having to walk on egg shells around people, even when it has nothing to do with race.

Re: Report: McNabb says black QBs under more pressure

i don't walk on egg shells, i crush the **** out of 'em.

walk on egg shells and you have fake friends who all agree with your cookie-cutter PC opinion.

be a man, speak your mind, and your a racist ***** (or at least that's what my ex says).

well, i'd rather be a ***** than a poser.

Re: Report: McNabb says black QBs under more pressure

Oh I won't walk on them either, I hate that I'm asked to. I say what I want or walk away. I can't be a *****, but I'd rather be a **** than a poser.

Re: Report: McNabb says black QBs under more pressure

next time when i do a piss poor job at work, i'm gonna blame it on the system because there are not enough whites at my work place motivating me.

And I think that white people have no right to comment on the subject.
