Angry White Dude: Stop It

Everytime something gets billed as racist, I just about lose what's left of my mind.

Lamar Jackson has been asked to work out at wide receiver by a few teams during the NFL combines.

We all know what an amazing career this young man had at Louisville.

Heisman Trophy winner. Putting Uof L football back on the map.

 

If I ran a team, dude could QB for me anytime.

But still, what's so wrong about a team asking him to work out at a different position?

Nothing, of course.

What makes asking him to work out at a position other then QB racist? Once again, nothing.

 

However this is 2018, and everything is racist.

What's wrong with those people? Stop it!
 


I know another QB who was asked to change positions after leading a team to the AFC Championship game.

Dude won a Heisman. He also won a national championship while in college. Remember?

Let me refresh your memory. Tim Tebow!

 

Seems like some teams didn't think he could play QB in the NFL even after he led the Broncos to the AFC title game.

They wanted him to try fullback -- aka third pulling guard -- or tight end. They practically ran him out of the league.

Sure seems like the very same situation. While Tebow was being asked to try different positions, I never heard one time that there was anything racist about what he was being asked to do.

Wonder why? Too white?

 

Guess we'll never know.

Tebow refused to try another position, and now it looks like if he's gonna get back to the big time, it'll be in baseball.

That'll be a definite odds beater.


What will Lamar Jackson choose to do?

Dude may have the very same dream has Tebow. He may want to play QB in the NFL and nothing else, or he just might be content to play in the NFL, period. QB,

Wide reciever or whatever they want him to do. He's going to be electrfiying, whatever he does.


There's not one thing racist about asking him to work out at another position. To write or say something like that makes the author look like a fool and a lazy one at that.

Non-story! Try harder!

Or just simply stop it and find something else to do.
