Please find the quote where I called people who disagreed with me were racist. Post the quote. I have never called anyone here racist.
Are you serious? You trying to deny what you did yesterday? Playing victim? All day you insinuated that people don't like Kap because of his skin color, not because of the way he plays or presents himself. So enjoy!!

The funniest thing are the people who are upset at this insinuation. I've never seen a QB more criticized by how he dresses, talks, wears his hat, etc. The amount of tattoos he has. How wearing headphones pissed people off. Then there's all the subtle jabs I've heard over the years. There has always been an undercurrent there. Now before everyone loses their minds...SOME of the criticism is valid and comes from a fair place while I'm sure come of it isn't...and if you're going to deny that then OK we'll have to agree to disagree..but if there are homers and haters and we can all agree that haters tend to find silly reasons to hate a guy...why isn't the color of his skin a reason too? Have we ever heard a 9er QB called a thug? Ever heard any talk about the way they dressed? Any talk about lack of intelligence or lack of film study? I hear the same exact stuff about Cam. The same guy where a writer picked apart his smile. So yea, people choose really silly reasons to hate a player and Kaep is no exception, neither is Cam or Alex or really anyone else. And this fan club that Gabbert has developed is odd.

I think people calling him a thug has racial undertones.
Of course it does and that was the point I was trying to make. Not surprising I was attacked. I see a whole bunch of confirmation bias in here.

Are people really trying to dispute that the word "thug" isn't used almost exclusively to describe unsavoury black people? Kinda sad the lengths people are going to disprove that.
Of course he's going to backstep and say he didn't call anyone a racist even though that is what he insinuated......
