I just read something about this on Yahoo....
I do not think its a racist comment. There is no doubt the NFL has been pushing blacks for a long time. Look at all the "pretending" they do with hiring black coaches. Teams that do not interview a black coach for a job opening actually get FINED!!!
Could you imagine being a black coach and getting an interview jsut becuase you are black, knowing that someone like Maruici has pretty much sown up the job? Who wants to be a pupper like that? I would find it very embarassing....
BUT it happened.... in Detriot!
All of this because Jesse Jackson, and Johnie Cockhran started threatening lawsuits!
One thing about professional sports, it is all about performance - no one cares what race the QB, the coach, or anything else is - it is ALL about winning! PERIOD!

That's a hard question. It doesn't sound like my grandfathers' "brand" of racisim ... but it does come close to the more sugar-coated version my father talked.
