It's like an African-American quarterback....as soon as someone proves it can be done, then it's not an issue.

 

Thanks Rush. More quality analysis

This team is quite an enigma. Handled Texas and Boston two of the AL's best

 

They need to score and make Addy's life easier.

 

Boston is not anywhere near one of the best teams in the league.

You're welcome. Have you ever met any major league scouts in their 50's, 60's or 70's?

 

Just curious.

 

Because last time I checked, Doug Williams started playing in the 1970's. Here we are, 30+ years later, and the same questions are being raised by scouts across the board about African-American NFL quarterbacks.

 

If you want to believe there's no bias, racism or prejudice that's still prevalent, then be my guest.

 

I lived in Colombia in 2005-2006. I met a lot of scouts in Cartagena, Santa Marta and Baranquilla. All of them said it would take 20-30 years before a pitcher from their country was going to reach the majors, because of the level of instruction and competition available there being so inferior. Edgar Renteria and his brother said the same thing, I worked as a volunteer at one of their camps...when I asked if they'd ever seen a pitcher who had the stuff to make it to the majors...at any of their youth camps there or in Miami.

1979-1947=32 years

 

Heck, 1979-1936 (Jesse Owens)=43 years

 

Or Joe Louis, Tiger Woods, etc.

 

Thank f*** for Trent Dilfer

 

This is the most ridiculous argument you have ever made. You're better than this.

If you're going to accuse me of racism, you better have something a LOT better than that to back it up with.

 

Oh i can just claim I have met scouts in 1950 that said black quarterbacks will succeed. Bam, I win.
