it's not , it's just some wack corny shit to talk about

when "Birdman" that use to play for the Nuggets has all that shit on him it's "Fun" "oh he's just wild" "he's a character" ....when a black guy has it like JR Smith "he's a thug" or "is he in a gang?"

we know how this shit works bruh.

I had to turn that shit off.

I thought Stephan A was gonna
say some real shit. Then he started
doin his Swashbuckling Coon Dance
and passed it off to Skip. #HouseNIggas

bow to royalty

Still early in the video, but Stephen A isn't sayin any coon shit. He said Colin's tattoos don't have a negative meaning, and he didn't really have a problem with them. Then he started talkin about people in general, and made a good point. You come in with tats all over your face and neck to a job interview....you're makin it harder on yourself. He said only positive things about Kaepernick. Said negative stuff about dudes with tats on em like they're fresh outta jail.

Bout to listen to Skip now, but so far thread title is misleading as fuck forreal.

Kaepernick had a 4.0 in high school, does work at a camp with kids with heart conditions, well spoken, good kid, can't judge a book by its cover...where they shittin on him?

Check some of it out. I watched most of it, thread title is lyin. They basically said young men need to dress and present themselves well. That everyone isn't gonna be a rapper or professional athlete. Most will need to get a regular job, and your appearance plays a role in you getting hired. So if you come in with tats and shit on ur neck/face you're making life harder on yourself.

I don't think most of the people who commented watched any of the video.

Says the same station that Hired Jalen Rose

This is why i dont watch ESPN shows anymore

I don't get the backlash. The conversation became a cultural issue, more than a Kaepernick issue. Nothing wrong with what was said. They said the same thing about white people. Said Rob Ryan was gonna have a hard time gettin a head coachin job cuz of his long ass hair.

Can you just stop it with the coon shit.. that shit is lazy.. and ignorant.. and ironically "coonish" when you just rubberstamp that shit..


and they were speaking of a sporting news article ... IT wasnt ESPN... it was a good discussion.

ShencotheMC

You lost for taking some ESPN shit seriously. Especially Stephen A. and Skip. Them dudes might as well be Glenn Beck and Hannity

"it scares white ppl"

^ same ol undertone for this and almost every other story on espn

To answer the thread

Just like the black quarterback, tats on a qb is frowned upon (mostly to white people)!!!

The Recipe

We went through this 15 years ago with AI.

Colin mixed so......draw your conclusions

They both made very good points

Lol @ the subtle shots fired at my nigga Busta.

Lol @ the 2:54 mark. Stephen dropped some real s@@@.

I just have a problem that this an issue period. Why? Well we know why. B/c Ben and other white QB's got tats, but no one made it an issue before. But once again when it's a person of color, then (white) folks gotta nick pick and draw attention to something that's a non factor.

I c/a everything Stephen A. said. But even he knows the real issue behind it.

The Recipe

They already took celebrating out of the sport cuz 40 year old white men dont understand it now tattoos are a problem. SMH

blackjack2012

Is that shit true about busta wearing a dress to accept a award ?

Basically CK mother got mad because a column writer said her son looked like a parole with all those tattoos. Of course this is a stereotype but since CK got money he can do whatever he wants with his body. The regular joe can't be covered from head to toe in tatts and get any kinda job they want.

So yeah Tattoos are a huge liability if you don't have a certain status.

wtf does Ck tats gotta do with his talent?
