You have guys like ESPN's Rob Parker calling him a "cornball brother" and saying "he isn't one of us", and it has matriculated into this pile of turds disguised as "sports news". Even RG3 has said that while he is proud to be an African-Amerian QB, he does not want to be defined by that. Why does it even have to be mentioned that he is black in this article as if we do not know? Clearly it's because Jason Whitlock, along with other black media sources, have something against RG3 because of the combination if his personal beliefs and the color of his skin. Rez mentioned assimilation. Assimilation goes BOTH ways, and RG3 is suffering the consequences of not assimilating to the general beliefs of his race as a whole. In America, you clearly can not just be who YOU choose to be and escape racial persecution from any race, including your own. It's a disgrace. **** assimilation and **** the haters. Keep doing your thing RG3. You'll be respected even more for it in the end.

So now it's racial AND political?

I see a young man full of fire that doesn't have enough time under his belt to know when and when to not open his mouth.

Reread it replacing RGIII with Drew Brees and Shannahan with Payton.... Drew would have been roasted in the media.

Yes. Doesn't change a starting QB bucking his HC/GM/Owner publicly .

It was merely a side note, just in case people forgot what a boobonic moron Whitlock is. :p

It's what the media and fans want. Why can't a player say, "The doctors say I'm good to go, but coach is following his own guidelines. It sucks, because I want to play. What he says goes though, & I respect that." That's what I'm taking away from it. Just because a writer opines that it's a "gripe" people automatically assume that he's making a correct assumption. It's being blown out of proportion as though he's been disrespectful when it couldn't be anything further from that. This couldn't be any further from T.O. or Ocho Cinco-esque behavior. It's just a guy being candid and showing his passion to play to the media, and the media is taking part in a witch hunt against him. Clearly the player is a bit overzealous, but why would you want anything less in a young player? After everything that has been said about the guy over the past few months, I'm not understanding how it can be seen any other way.

Re: RGIII needs to man up and shut up

NFL Sirius covered the story this morning at 5am on my way to work, that was the first version that came up when I searched to have something to post.

As proven I was fkd either way.... If I had only found a version written by a Chinaman.

Pick one. When you open your mouth, the circus starts. ESPIN had a field day with some honest statements about bounties.

This is not the NCAA, this is a military billion dollar machine, the game is played differently and the stakes are different. When your employer pays you 10M a year he has the prerogative of wanting things under the radar.

Re: RGIII needs to man up and shut up

Well let me see... I, um, yeah - I DON'T CARE.

Players want to play coaches got to coach. Player is young & foolish (who among us was not frippen invincible when we were young?) coach has to do the right thing for.... His career. I don't see Shanahan as a huge Redskins guy. He is more of a Shanahan guy.

Oh, can I say Redskins? :doh:

Re: RGIII needs to man up and shut up

Anyone catch RGIII's statement yesterday? Damage control.

Looks like I wrote it for him doesn't it...

There is a difference between truth and opinion. Truth about how you feel is opinion.

Re: RGIII needs to man up and shut up

He spoke to media when he wasn't scheduled to. That doesn't sound like damage control to me. It sounds like a guy that's pissed off about his words being "twisted and turned" (his quote). If it were damage control I'm sure the Redskins would have made sure everyone knew that he was going to speak to the media. Shanahan has made many comments on the situation as well. Both of them keep saying that there is "no conflict", but the media keeps insisting there is. It's funny how some people live to lap up the media's daily porridge.
