I was watching some highlights recently of Gale Sayers and in some ways I wondered if the race based biases against black quarterbacks weren't around when he played if he couldn't have been schooled as a quarterback. I loved Sayers as a player and a person and went down a number of times to Rensselaer, Ind. to watch the Bear's train. In my opinion he was the best pure runner in the history of football and Fields reminds me a lot of him with his ability to cut on a dime and run through arm tackles.

Well, all I know is I'd prefer my quarterback to be slow and statuesque in the pocket.

Of course. It happened big time in sports. In football, there was terrific prejudice against black players being not smart enough to quarterback a football team. The same thing occurred with prejudice against black linemen being not smart enough to play on the offensive line for the same reason.

I'm surprised by you not knowing that this shit went on at all levels of football. Maybe it didn't occur in your ever so difficult chinese checkers and squash tournaments?

you're surprised about something that has nothing to do with me. I just questioned YOUR belief. Learn to read and comprehend. Now I know why you are scared to play me at chess.

Any HOF QB's on that list ever? Seems like maybe speed is not really what QBs need most.

Justin Fields is actually the only QB to ever make this list since 2016, which is the start of the next gen stats era. He is clearly the best athlete in the NFL.

Sounds like he's got a case for the HoF now

You are the one who didn't know that black athletes were discriminated on from playing quarterback and offensive linemen because of racist ideas that they were not smart enough to play those positions. This had everything to do with you, stupid one. If you knew that this racism did happen which you obviously didn't, you might have agreed with what I said and condemned it like I did. But you didn't do that did you, stupid one?
As for your playing a board game, I am sure that you love to chit chat with the feeble old ladies at your knitting club while playing chinese checkers and OLD MAID and tell them your lies about how you excelled at hitting a little black ball at a wall with a cut down tennis racquet? Really "manly" game, eh, sport?

Has there ever been a "man" on this sports board who bragged about playing chinese checkers(or chess) and squash(racket ball) as somekind of important test of manhood? Obviously HHM has never played a mentally and physically challenging game in his life so he is reduced to lying about his alleged prowess on a small game table and playing a ping pong type game against the old ladies in his knitting club.

Has anyone ever met this "fellow" HHM in real life? I'm not impressed basically.

Re read my post. Are you seriously this ****ing dumb? Or is this just a troll?

Ps I didn't read past the first sentence because I really just think you're trying to be a troll.
