Racism in the NFL DRAFT

**AirFlacco** · 04-22-2010, 07:55 AM

Well, OBY and the DEMs are always playing the race card but how about this. Here's a guy who is power back with impessive college stats and combine numbers and almost won the Heisman Trophy but is being over looked by just about everyone in the draft.

When I was a boy I wondered why there weren't many blacks in the NFL and heard stories about Lenny Moore not being able to get a cab with the team in visiting cities and thought that was terrible.

My how the pendilum has swung.

He has a point. It didn't hurt him in the Hesisman voting, per se, but from all appearances pre-draft, it is hurting him now.
That said, until after the draft, it's hard to say for sure.

That's cool... I should have clarified. I was talking to Trap... er "AirFlacco" to let him know that this thread already exists.

Yea, but I didn't even know who he was until I read this article.
