Because EVERYTHING is now about race, don’tcha know? The Carolina Panthers are the blackest team in NFL history and they are evidently flaunting it. They are celebrating their ‘blackness’. Not the fact that they are a great football team that excels at their sport. No, their freaking ‘blackness’. Your skin color does not determine your skill set. Liberals are now blaming white NFL coaches for stopping black players from embracing that ‘blackness’. Race excuses bad behavior, violence and vulgarity evidently. And it allows them to take cheap shots at white players without any repercussions. Just ridiculous and biased.
The culture of football is such that a league made up of mostly black men is supposed to comply with certain standards created and enforced by mostly white men. Ideally, the players would act subdued in public, celebrate their achievements quietly and speak in a manner that avoids the spotlight.
The Carolina Panthers haven’t done any of that this season. On the way to a 15-1 regular season record and the team’s first Super Bowl appearance since 2004, the team has had fun and has been fun to watch.
They have talked loudly, danced loudly and celebrated loudly. But they’ve done something significant along the way, too: The Panthers have embraced, demonstrated and exuded aspects of their blackness in a way that few predominately black teams have done in the past.
They have been wonderfully, unapologetically, proudly black.

Go Broncos!
LOSERS
They want to turn NFL into WWE
Oh brother!
Yet they demand the Confederate flag be removed...and complain about anything else that they think represents white people.
When they fail at something while people created, it's supposed to be "racism".
When they succeed at something white people created, it's supposed to be somehow oppressive because it was whites that created it, and the rules.
Perhaps black people should invent a sport of some kind, that reflects "their" blackness, and quit "white people's" sports completely. Even though blacks benefit most, because they are greatly disproportionately hired as those kind of athletes...on merit, ability and talent. The way it should be.
But no, that isn't enough. What do these people want, anyway?
A separate league, one which allows "black rules"? Or different rules for blacks, than whites? A race-based exemption to the rules?
Here's the irony.
When they claim they are somehow unable to act civilized, to refrain from vulgar attention seeking displays, to refrain from cursing and vile trash talk, or to behave with dignity and respectfulness towards others, following basic expectations of common courtesy and good sportsmanship...they echo the words of the "racist" Jim Crow era. Where laws were put into place to keep the peace, reduce violence and public vulgarity, and to maintain a safe, civilized society...by insisting the "negroes" and the "colored" refrain from such degenerate behavior.
The blacks were supposedly stereotyped with these abhorrent and repulsive behaviors, and society reacted by separating itself from them and their uncouth, uncivilized traits. In the 60's and 70's stereotypes were to be deliberately abandoned, since it was "prejudiced" to think of blacks as a whole, to be violent, profligate, vulgar and uncouth. Because of course they weren't...it was just racist lies, about those poor, oppressed colored folk.
And now, we've come way around towards full circle. They admit these behaviors define them as common traits of their people, with exceptions of course...the "Uncle Toms" and "house negroes". Not just admit to it, but to "embrace" these uncivilized behaviors as somehow their right to impose on everyone else.
Because it's racist not to allow a football player the freedom to curse and use vile language...because that now defines..."celebrates" their "blackness.
Answer me this, black people:
Do you have to "celebrate" the melanin content of your skin, by associating it with vile, vulgar, uncouth displays of uncivilized behwvior?
Really? Did Lynn Swann or Walter Payton ever act like that? Did mean joe Green? When I was a kid, i looked up to guys like that. That fact that they were black meant nothing to me. Now, these guys dancin' around like they're on MTV need to go.
When you get into the end zone, act like you have been there before.
WTH is a "skill set"??? Is that what used to be known simply as a skill or skills?
Its all about the Quarterback...regardless of color!! :)
So sick and tired of AA being selfish and stupid. Don't like it?? Go back to where your ancestors came from.
Oh give us a break.....Newton couldn't do his sissy celebrations because they got their butts spanked big time!!! Tell the baby to grow up....Von Miller was on several shows last night and today after winning award. He's a much more mature person and a class act compared to Newton.
The Panthers lost. Is that supposed to signify something?
"They have been wonderfully, unapologetically, proudly black."
Dear God - who gives a crap?
Wise up people .....$15,000 for a ticket to support this crap???? And the half time show glorifies the black panthers? I was around in the day of the black panthers and they were terrorist. PLEASE spare me the drama. Beyonce equals....look at me....I will do anything to sell my music. I will not watch anything that supports this type of behavior and would not consider financing it in any way. I will avoid sponsor products and write letters.
