Who the f**k are you?

I'm a member of this forum just like you. I made an observation that you tend to turn every thread into a kap thread and get overly emotional every time at that. That's who the f I am.

So glad this thread happened. I'm not racist in any way and I said the EXACT same thing when I was watching the game live. The ball was practically invisible when Lamar faked the handoffs. I can't believe the backlash for this.

This would only happen in SNOWFLAKEVILLE. There is such a thing as intent and Tim Ryan had the audacity to tell the truth. Re-watching the game, with the ball against the dark uniform background, it was almost impossible to tell upon a quick glance whether or not Jackson had the ball. Ryan did nothing wrong and should not have been suspended. Leftist lunacy...

Yeah my opinion on this is...we live in a world where being absolutely PC is a must. Even the tiniest of terms get's magnified. I'm a liberal BUT I think it's gotten to a point where s**t is just obnoxious. Let's save the witch burning for things that truly matter.

Tim wasn't wrong in saying hey he's dark skinned, the ball is dark and you could even say their jerseys are dark, which would make it hard to read where the ball was going. NOW people can interpret it as what he probably was meaning or make it about race.

THAT said he's a voice with a platform and he's gotta be better with what he says KNOWING it will probably offend someone. Topics like race/gender/who you f**k/religion are all things that kinda need to be off limits for guys like him. Even the slightest thing can turn into a avalanche of s**t.

left/right doesn't matter everyone complains about this kind of s**t now. This isn't the 50s where you could say whatever the f**k you wanted and there's no repercussions.

I think this was stupid as well and don't think it was in any way race related, more just stating something that was kinda obvious. That said he's in a position where he does have to be mindful of what he says. No way did he think if he said that, there wasn't gonna be some sort of outcry. Gotta adapt to society, especially when you have a profession like his in the public eye.

white boys clearly cant dance because they are white. against the back drop of music it is clear to see.

I don't think what Tim said was in any way malicious or said with a hint of racism. He simply worded it really poorly and in today's PC world the outcome is a suspension or firing. Simply how it is. People may disagree but this is the world we live in now. Have to be smarter than that.

He could've simply said in the rain with the jersey color the ball is hard to see. Soon as you mention skin color even in the context which is pretty darn logical it becomes what it became.

pretty much this...gotta be smarter than that nowadays.

to say the niners couldn't see the ball because of Jackson's skin color is idiotic at best. when the great qb's like rogers make a great ball fake in the back field it is because of great skill and precision. when Jackson makes a great fake it is because he's so dark. unbelievable !!!!!

Didn't know Rogers was running a read option and had the ball buried in his chest 90% of the time I get what you're trying to say just not a very good example.

This is very true in many cases.

Ryan never said ALL black peoples' skin matched the ball. He just said Lamar's did in those conditions. If we've reached the point in our society where we cant even acknowledge that there's an observational difference between peoples skin tones, we're screwed.

This is the appropriate and reasonable level of criticism for the situation. The entire discussion should start and end with this right there.

Glad this thread was made, now we can really find out who the racist webzoners are

If he got fired that's one thing but I'm fine with a short suspension to just make a point. You should know better to not make points like that. You'd never say Greg Maddox's skin tone perfectly matches the ball giving him an advantage of x,y,z. And I know that doesn't compare but even if it did You'd never say that sh.
