Judging by what I saw in the game, over the 49ers defense. And a lot of other defenses in the NFL.Over whom? He’s probably more athletic than anyone in the NHL, but...
.."......that little monkey can run".<<
Is that his exact quote?
very close, I know he used the word monkey
Has anyone reported on Lamar Jackson's, or other black players and coaches, feel about the comment? I have not read about it, so I don't know.
I would guess there was no malicious intent in that statement. Maybe not well-considered, but considering the person works with and around many people of color, so I doubt the intent in his mind was to make an observation rather than to show bias.
But I don't know what the impact has been, which is what counts. If Jackson and others took it in a negative way, it would be a good opportunity to understand their point of view. If they did not, especially those who know the announcer who said it, then maybe the punishment did not fit the crime.
Agreed . We make to much of these things these days.As a Ravens fan who watched that game. With the Ravens wearing all black uniforms and playing in heavy rain, the ball being a very dark brown because it was wet, was difficult to follow with the black uniforms.
I am not a Ravens fan, but that guy looks as dangerous to opposing defenses as anyone in the league right now. And it is not because his arms are brown. Lol.
Guess it's time to implement Christie Brinkley's suggestion that football players could have special gloves connected to lights on their helmets, so that when they caught the ball, you'd know who had possession.
you seem upsetThe guy may have a point, but you can’t say this today.

And now everyone will condemn ryan as a RACIST. .
So, you were on the field with the two teams?As a Ravens fan who watched that game. With the Ravens wearing all black uniforms and playing in heavy rain, the ball being a very dark brown because it was wet, was difficult to follow with the black uniforms.
Well a white football was used "back in the day" and the players found it difficult to see against white uniforms.
At the risk of being called a racist, why is noting that someone has dark skin offensive?
You wouldn't pick Kyle Shanahan for Coach of the Year? The 49ers won four games last year.I'm not either I am a Steeler fan but I actually like this Raven's team. They are a lot of fun to watch. Jackson, from what I hear around town, is a really nice guy.
Obviously John got all the coaching genes and personality in that family.
They made some in season trades that put them on the road to the Superbowl.
JMO but its a John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin race for coach of the year. What Tomlin has done is really pretty remarkable but my vote would still go to Harbaugh.
I bet Greg Roman is not an OC for long or not JUST an OC for long. I'm thinking he'll soon have HC in front of that.

No, just watching on TV, the ball was difficult to follow. More so than usual. The ball was a really dark brown, with the black uniforms was definitely more difficult to follow, would imagine the players had increased difficulty, of course not as bad as the TV viewer.So, you were on the field with the two teams?
How hard is it to simply not mention skin color or race? I mean I go all day every day without doing it. I just cannot imagine how stupid you have to be to go on the radio and say this. These unforced errors people commit all the time really blow my mind. Just don’t talk about race or skin color period. It’s the easiest thing to do and takes literally no effort.
The casual racism here by the boomers is not a good look for Penn State fans. Some of you seem proud of your ignorance.

Your use of the word “boomers” is a derogatory and offensive term used to describe people that were born in the 50’s. As mentioned, your argument is counterproductive.The casual racism here by the boomers is not a good look for Penn State fans. Some of you seem proud of your ignorance.

I'm not the guy saying the ball was hidden by his dark skin. That was a radio douche who, so far as we know, was in the booth. I watched it on TV. I KNOW I cannot see it well enough to say whether his skin made it hard to see.Were you? The color of his skin was just one of the contributing factors he gave for the ball being more difficult to see on that particular day. Not invisible.
The only way you see his comments as racist is if you want it to be. I hope they ask Jackson to comment and he says GET A LIFE!
See, the radio douche does not have a much better vantage point that you or me, so he is no better qualified than you or me to say what you could see on the field.
Not from the booth. Too far away.Riiight. He was there. He's a former NFL player. He's had a career as an analyst. Not plausible at all that he observed something?
Half this board is nuttier than a Christmas fruitcake.

To the contrary ...ask Richard Sherman what he saw and whether arms were a factor. Yahoo sports."The entire point he was making" was a bullshit excuse. I am told that his total comments included a great deal of praise for #8. How can he not recognize that the things that make Jackson so effective have nothing whatsoever to do with his skin color. Now, maybe from the pressbox it is harder to see who has the ball. I often could not tell who had the ball when Jackson's teammate Trace Mc Sorley was running the RPO. That is not because he is white, but because he is good at the fake. On the field your vision would have to be terrible not to be able to see the ball because the QB has "camo" arms.
Yawn...My guy. You're a racist. Sorry that the times have changed. You can't say "Orientals" anymore. You're wrong. Just stop.
