Suffered racism at the hands of the NFL. He was a great QB in collee. Couldn't get drafted. Went to Canada and set records there. Had a long career by anyone's standards. Finally got a chance to play in the NFL and did it well. He endured death threats in Houston and his wife was verbally abused in the stands. Kordell Stewart and the Pittsburgh coaching staff took a lot of heat just 7 years or so ago when he was made starting quarterback. I had inlaws there who said that Pittsburgh would nover tolerate a black QB - so they heard at work, etc.
Racism is still prevalent in the NFL and who knows how much better of careers Moon and Stewart could have had without having to worry about issues of race.
I mean, look at Stewart, he has to play for the Bears these days, talk about a come down. (ducks).
