this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; He's got some character for apologising like that The only reason he's apologising anyway is because he got it so wrong the first time that he's dug himself a hole that only a public apology would solve...

He also said "white America deserves a lot of credit" or something like that. I was really quite stunned.![]()
And he's right, all that stuff changed a long time ago. If anything, I think you could make a strong case that Warren is a racist for suggesting that people are racist just for criticizing a player who has clearly been a train wreck, on and off the field this year. I look at Tony Romo, a white guy of course, and he is a walking punchline for journalists and fans, even though he hasn't had near the off the field drama. I don't see Warren Moon coming to his defense. Speaking for myself, I have no problem criticizing anyone regardless of what color they are. And conversely, I have no problem giving due credit to anyone. As for Rob Parker... What can I possibly say to that rant? Unbelievable. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Stephen A. Smith makes public apology to Jonathan Vilma
I really dislike Stephen A. Smith and only appreciate the fact that he seems to annoy Skip Bayless, who I equally dislike ... but, I will acknowledge that he manned-up for once in making this apology, :golfclap:.

Actually, Tony Romo is a 4th generation Mexican-American.
![]() I always thought he was Caucasian until he had a TV spot during the Hispanic Heritage Month couple of years back. |
