"A lot of the criticism he's receiving is unfortunate and racially based, I thought we were all past this. I don't see other quarterbacks in the draft being criticized by the media or fans about their smile or called a phony. He's being held to different standards from white quarterbacks."
-Warren Moon, Hall of Fame QB and current adviser to Cam Newton
You tell 'em, Warren! It is totally racist to say that a guy who only made one read in his college offense may have trouble picking up the complexities of the NFL game. And people are only saying he may be disingenuous because he's black, not because his father charged schools a $180,000 recruiting fee to get his son to play there. You're right, all the white quarterbacks in this draft also said they wanted to be an "Entertainer" not just a football player, he's being singled out because he's black. Someone call Reverend Sharpton! Nevermind, apparently he's busy.
