Whoa! B-Hop goes totally Rushbo on McNabb!

[KamaAina]

You've got to read this to believe it:

According to Hopkins, McNabb had a privileged childhood in suburban Chicago and, as a result, is not black enough or tough enough, at least compared with, say, himself, Michael Vick and Terrell Owens.

"Forget this," Hopkins said, pointing to his own dark skin. "He's got a suntan. That's all."...

"Why do you think McNabb felt he was betrayed? Because McNabb is the guy in the house, while everybody else is on the field. He's the one who got the extra coat. The extra servings. 'You're our boy,' " Hopkins said, patting a reporter on the back in illustration. "He thought he was one of them."

Replace "guy in the house" with "slave in the house," then replace "on the field" with "in the field," and Hopkins' message is Uncle Tom-clear.

:wtf:

1. Well then, why don't we havea limit as to what the income is potential football players' parents

can make so we only get who Hopkins approves of?

5. Would The Rule Apply To White Players?

That's how dumb Hopkins is being. Questioning someone's "cred" because their parents were comfortable isn't something he'd say about Tom Brady. Basically, he's only talking about McNabb and judging him in a different way BECAUSE HE'S BLACK!

That's not exactly promoting racial harmony, since Hopkins couldn't care less if white players came from poor or affluent families.

6. can you imagine Peyton manning calling out Tom Brady for not being "white" enough?

Yo, you went to a public school! Cracker!

2. Too many blows to head, maybe...?

[MadBadger]

3. He's calling him an Uncle Tom, but then at the very end calls him a good role model

Makes no sense

4. So he complained that McNabb wasn't "true to his roots"

like Vick and T.O., but also said, basically, that McNabb didn't have the same roots. Evidence, as some say, that it's not about black and white, it's about green. Apparently McNabb's parents had too much of it.

7. Hopkins has been doing this for years.

It's one of the things that have made me go from huge supporter to wishing someone would knock his head off. He's a jackass. And Donovan isn't even here anymore, let it go Bernard.
