Donovan McNabb = Uncle Tom
As everyone who knows me knows, I am no Philadelphia Eagles fan. However, there is one player on that team who I have mucho respecto for and that player is Donovan McNabb. Recently, the president of the local NAACP said that he was a sell out and an Uncle Tom because he makes money from Campbells' and he DOESNT RUN AS MUCH AS A BLACK QB SHOULD. What the fuck? You are calling out a member of your race, which within certain circles is a bond of brotherhood, because he is successful off the field and not successful on the field? I don't get it. The stereo type of the "black QB" in the NFL shouldn't even be a running QB. Arguably the best black QB in the NFL was Warren Moon and he was not known for his scrambling ability. He was known for his cannon of an arm and team leadership skills. Not only did this screaming idiot abuse his role as a community leader to knock his favorite team, he hurt the goal of his organization, which is for the advancement of colored people. Ranting from his bully pulpit, he says someone is abusing the race card because they don't run as much with the football? Idiot. Honestly, if it wasn't for Donovan McNabb, Philly would be a punching bag of the NFC East. He makes your team you fucking retard. After all the TO shit, this should be the last thing this guy has to worry about. He has no WR's, his only RB is a good WR at best. He has taken that team to 4 NFC championships and 1 Superbowl on his own back. He is a good player. Because you are having a down year this year, you call him out and say he sold out his race. This highlights the reason why I hate Philly fans. You booed this guy when you drafted him. You love TO is there, then he stabs you in the back and everyone turns on Donovan. Then the leader of the NAACP for your city calls him an Uncle Tom. Good Job Philly. Just make cheese steaks and stop being an asshole to the one player which made your team amazing in the first place.
(note to BIZ... I know you don't feel like this its just a commentary on your fellow fans)

Was it Rush Limbaugh who wrote the article?
I'm not going to get too into this. I agree with everything you say. As for the Philly fans, I listen to our local sports talk AM station everyday, and a lot of them talked shit on McNabb after we started losing which disgusts me. But I for one, and most, if not all of my personal friends, completely appreciate what the franchise has done in the past 5 years, and attribute 90% of it to D. McNabb... there are a number of things he does that bother me, but they always had long before this year. But in NO WAY, would I want anyone else (excluding Peyton, Brady, etc.)... certainly not McMahon or Detmer (who some fans were actually calling out for, if you can believe that) to take his place.
"Let me get this straight. If a black man stays in jail and listens to rap, he is cool, but if he decides to get a job, makes some money, wears some nice clothes, and buys a few Celine Dion records, he'a a sellout?"
