MNF "controversy"

And let's not forget one thing...to preface, I in no way condone this type of thinking, but if that had been Brett Favre, instead of T.O., it might not be as big a deal.

As stupid as it may be, racism still does run deep in this country..and I am certain that plays a small role in this.

Flame away if you must, but I'm just calling it like it is

race? lol, race didn't have shit to do with this, it had to do with the naked woman. brett favre, T.O., jerry jones, the pope, ANYONE who had done this would have driven the same amount of controversy.

I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion thanks to Janet Jacko and Sir Justin and their sickening display at the Super Bowl. Thank goodness I didn't see that because I personally don't find Janet Jackson to be all that good looking or appealing. However, if my wife looked like that when she was 40 I think I could accept her.

i dont think that mentioning the race card here is out of line. with how disconnected i feel from the majority of americans, i would not be surprised at all if the moral outrage from the bible belt is just as much about interracial sexuality as it is about the fake nudity.

it is interesting, although i dont hold much stock in it having major importance, but the red states correspond almost perfectly with the slave states, while the blue states were all free. are our racial views still that far behind and out of whack? i hope not, but i think they are.
