    Ya but compared to guys like Tyreke Hill and Antonio Brown he was a saint. You do have a point about the difference of media coverage then vs now. Hey though Julio Jones, AJ Green Ty Hilton Larry Fitzgerald seem like as non diva as a skill position will allow

    There are plenty of good professional black receivers.

    I just wanted to point out that all the cry babies in the NFL at receiver fit the same common denominator.

    Oh definitely. He wasn’t out there hitting kids, getting in trouble with the law, or being like that. Just had his moments every once in a while, like everyone.

    And now that you mention, those players do seem tk have that image, ESPECIALLY Fitzgerald.

    Yes but it's hard to point at just one thing as being the reason why especially when there isn't really a fair comparison because of a small sample size with white receivers. This is just my opinion though

    It was reported. Maybe it’s true.
    Both are offensive. I think you just get a tingle saying it over and over.

    The Raiders have always been a joke.

    The Patriots are the class of the NFL.

    It is a racial slur, even your alt left radical friends that normally like your posts are disagreeing with you. Must be weird....

    Also, it helps if you reply with a quote so those that you are trying to engage in civil discussion with can see your replies faster. Let me know if you need me to coach you on that as well. Seeing as though you don't know the definition of "racial slur"...there's no limits to what you do not know at this point.

    Well your book is different than the rest of the world's. Can you please cite for us the definition of a racial slur or do you need us to do it?

    @Andrew Jackson said, and I quote "not a racial slur" in his book. Does that mean "cracker" is not an offensive racial slur and that it's perfectly fine for anyone who is not white to use at their convenience? If it's not a slur, why have so many comedians apologized for using the (as they call it) "racial slur"?

    Hopefully AJ chimes in to help clear up all this confusion.

    If you call Whites "crackers" and only Whites that is a racial slur.

    Andrew can have a different opinion and he obviously does.

    @Andrew Jackson apparently has a different opinion than every other sane poster. I also noticed he has not posted in a while. I guess we have proven the OP true.

    Of course it's a racial slur- there's literally only one person on the forum who disagrees and we will tag him here @Andrew Jackson

    The word cracker actually was a term used for a slave master or overseer because of the cracking sound of the whip.

    Supposedly he apologized, but the prima donna is on his way out, maybe even football. People like him are their own worst enemy.
