Ravens weigh in on McNabb comments -

Ravens quarterback Steve McNair started his weekly news conference today with a request.

[Stu]

Yeah, it had nothing to do with the fact that you had an extremely inconsistent night throwing the football. Or the fact that Philly fans are rough on everybody. Who doesn't want a black quarterback by the way? I think any team will take and support any quarterback that chalks up the wins! And nobody can tell me anything different! I don't think McNabb would bring up the subject if he wasn't 0-2! Boller takes the heat and doesn't cry like a baby McNabb. Take some notes...shut up...and play better!!!

Unbelievable, and he is a roll model for America's young atheletes.

People didn't want blacks to play quarterback? Who said blacks shouldn't play QB? I don't care who plays QB as long as he knows what he's doing and earns his spot on the team. If you don't play well and command a multi-million dollar salary, you're gonna get heat. Quit crying or quit the NFL.

[Coach]

Boo hoo I play a game for millions of dollars. My life is so difficult!

[wtf]

Okay, disclaimer time - I'm white. McNabb's comment that there aren't many of them (Black QBs)? Let's look at something, shall we?
5 quarterbacks in the league right now, out of 32?
That's 15.6% of the US population. According to the CIA factbook, African-Americans make up 12.9% of the population.
It's already higher than 12.9%..... it soon might be 7, or 21.9%. What does he want, a cookie? Jeez....

[Mike Morgan]

Poor,poor Donovan, you just gotta grope for excuses for your poor playing.

[William Blake]

You are right!!!!!!

[itssteeven]

Kyle has so much more class........who would have thought that possible for Mcwhine to meltdown....Philly has to cut him and start K KOLB soon...hey we may need a back-up for KYLE if Troy doesn't work out...CUT HIM Andy admit you should have kept Garcia and move on......how GREAT IT IS TO BE A RAVENS FAN...

[irish pat]

rush limbaugh was right about mcnabb. not only is he over-rated but he is a cry baby as well. fans in philly bood santa. does mcnabb think he's bigger thas kris kringle?

[Sickofhearingthe racecard]

Get over it McNabb...The one position where white guys actually dominate the position and not all of them are very good I might add and all this guy can say is basically there isn't enough black guys playing the position. He gets dumber every time he opens his mouth. Quit with the race card already. You live in a predominantly white society and unfortunately it happens...dry your eyes and deal with it. By the way he sounded in the interview it must really suck being an NFL starting quarterback making big money to play in front of thousands of so-called racist white fans who demand more from a brother playing quarterback. It's called high expectations for someone who had all the tools and having a fan base who's never experienced a SuperBowl victory you bonehead. Never heard him complaining when he was making the Chunky soup ads. I used to like McCrybaby even in his days with Syracuse. Loser!!!

[pearl]

mcnair has done nothing more then shine the spotlight on himself even greater then it was before his poor start.....but hey lets blame it on the fans and media...

[Motorhead Fan]

You think Black QBs get criticized, you should see how bad gay-extraterrestrial-aliens get criticized when they don't play well.
