funny Jordy Nelson article...

[mraynrand]

Is this why you laughed at me when I drafted him in our fantasy league this year?

The Brandon prism only passes a select few wavelengths of light.

I don't think the article is anti-white or a slam on Jordy. It is more of a slam on black DBs who underestimate Nelson because he is white. I hope they continue to while Jordy is sprinting past them on the way to the end zone.

These guys watch film of Nelson every week before they play the Pack, it's foolish to think they are underestimating Nelson because he's white when their jobs are on the line. Maybe it has something to do with Nelson getting single coverage by the 2nd or 3rd CB nearly every play because we are loaded on offense.

Agreed. Plus this whole idea is a bit of a slap in the face to the idea that he's actually a pretty good receiver who isn't exactly sneaking up on the opposition any more. He's been good for awhile now. He has a very good combination of size, strength, speed, hands, intelligence, and chemistry with his quarterback that is tough to match up against whether the DBs covering him are black, white, or something else.

that article isn't serious folks.

Settle down everyone. It's all white.

I don't think their jobs are on the line if they get blown up by Jordy, everybody's doing it . They would be idiots if they ignored him because of his race. I've never once even heard of an idiot in the NFL, so that probably never happens...

Man. No matter how I try to respond to you Brandon, I keep coming off like an ass. I swear that's not how I'm trying to go about this. I think Jordy Nelson was probably dismissed initially in part because of his race. And his goofy "Aww shucks paa" look. Now that he's starting to make such an impact on the offense, of course players, regardless of race, are going to take him seriously. Also, I don't believe the "Nelson being covered by the #2 corner" hold water. I could see your argument working if you were talking about cobb going against the #5 CB when we spread them out, but not our #2 against their #2 where he's constantly winning the battles. By that logic, Greg Jennings is playing so well because they can't focus on him and double team him all the time because there's so many other good recievers on this team.

Isn't the whole article based upon 'pre-judging'? Supposedly, that's the way that ignorant, racists think, the kind of thinking a civilized society should try to eradicate.

I'm not a fan of the PC-Thought Police, but if racial stereotyping is wrong, it should be wrong in all cases, even when talking about a talented, Caucasian wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers. Sadly, apparently, another talented player, Greg Jennings, is racist. He needs sensitivity training, maybe a summer session at UWM and a year's subscription to the Journal-Sentinel to get his mind right.

Kudos to Jordy for a great run as a wide receiver in the NFL as he overcomes his genetic deficiencies.

The gist of the article is that people incorrectly stereotype Jordy because he is white. Isn't it a good thing to point out that the stereotype based upon race is wrong?

He's just mad because he doesnt get to stereotype blacks.
