Interesting article from ESPN. I don't know why race always has to be thrown in our faces. Why label everyone?

"For the first time, two Black quarterbacks will play in the NFL's biggest game."

"The caller couldn't even get in a question late Sunday night before Doug Williams made his feelings clear both loudly and repeatedly.

The Kansas City Chiefs had just completed a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game, which followed the Philadelphia Eagles' 31-7 dismantling of the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

And for Williams, the first Black quarterback to start in the Super Bowl and win the game's MVP award, those results meant that something he has longed to witness has finally occurred: For the first time in NFL history, two Black quarterbacks have led their teams to the Super Bowl in the same season.

Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Jalen Hurts of the Eagles will face off on the league's biggest stage in Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona.

Williams seemed pleased, to say the least."

"That's what I'm talking about! Yes! Yes! We've got two Black quarterbacks in the Super Bowl!" Williams shouted into the phone. "Man, after Jalen won earlier, I was pulling for Patrick. I was sitting here on pins and needles to see if it would happen.

"I've got such a smile on my face right now, but I've got water in my eyes, too. I'm talking, but I don't think I can even explain what this means. We have come such a long way. It has been so hard, so many barriers, but we did it. Two Black quarterbacks in the Super Bowl!"

It was a journey more than 100 years in the making."

Boring, now if it was two trans quarterbacks wouldn't that be something...

Although the left allegedly clamors for equality and equity to the point that both are elevated over every other virtue imaginable, I doubt they would have the same response and admiration if the word "black" was replaced with "white" all through the article.

Who gives a ***** No one cares about black QBs and hasn't since Randall Cunningham and Warren Moon were running around the backfield.

ESPN is such trash.

Didn't occur to me at all that this happened and I think that's the sign of real progress, Dougie. Black QBs are so common that the only people that it give any thought are caught up in decades old mindsets. Who's the racist, the guy (me) that doesn't even realize two black qbs are playing in the SB, or the guy who is rooting for a team to make the SB because the qb is black? By extension, he is rooting against the white qb because he is not black.

Pretty sure Mahomes' brother might be one of the "fluids". That count for anything?

All TX HS QB Super Bowl is more meaningful since being a black QB hasn't been a noteworthy issue in many years. TX puts out the best QBs.

Wonder if the author would have said something about there being a white RB in the Super Bowl if SF had won? There's more stereotyping of white skill players than there is of black QBs in this era.

The race of QB's have never crossed my mind, not even when Doug Williams was running the Buc's offense back in the late 70's and early 80's.

Well....One of the quarterbacks is only half black, so its only a 75% black QB superbowl.

Funny. I never gave it a thought. Just two great quarterbacks.

And I'm the racist white guy?

Mahomes mother is white so I'm just going to go ahead and consider him white.

Stop capitalizing black. It's an adjective.

Who cares?

Racists that's who

Damn got em

Because they're democrats, and the last thing democrats want is the fulfilment of MLK's dream where people are judged not by the color of their skin, but on the content of their character.

would have been news 15-20 years ago. lots and lots of black QBs now

Mahomes is pale as hell & has commercials about taking "jazz baths"


I'm proud to claim him as a fellow Caucasian

I like both QBs, but I hope the Chiefs win. Patrick Mahomes is an amazing qb and an even better person.

This is Mahome's mom. He's just as much white as he is black. It gets tiring when the media makes so much of it about race .

Not bad!

Fairly certain Patrick would not pick which skin color team he plays for. I bet if asked he would say, "American" or maybe even "Texan".

Why is it when you have a mixed race individual that they are automatically black? I mean if you had to pick one or the other, would you not rather pick (insert the blue and white poster).

I see the similarity...

It's the same with Tiger.

Unless his father is from Africa, he's quite likely less than 50% black.

The only way you can determine blackness is by voting for joe. He will be the first to tell you that.

Why are people with one white parent and one black always classified as black ?

so finally racism is now over ? i thought it was when a black president was elected but that obviously wasn't the case.

NSFW

Because it's Dave Chappell

See how racist America is.

The NFL hates Black people so much they are putting them at QB to get their heads bashed in and CTE, while protecting White QBs.

When will the oppression end!?!?!?1

Looks like Rush Limbaugh was correct on ESPN Gameday, after all!

Honest question….
Why are you considered black if one of your parents is white?
