Last year video was released of Kansas City Chief’s Kareem Hunt assaulting a white woman. While under the influence Hunt can be seen in the footage (below) getting into a verbal altercation with the women (whom nobody knew) while she was outside of his and team mates hotel suite. During the argument, Hunt pushed her to the ground and kicked her. Hunt initially lied to the Chiefs about the incident and once the video emerged, Hunt was released. Hunt was very tight lipped in his apology interview as to why / how this issue happened. Later it was revealed that the woman (who again no one knew and was not a guest of anyone in the suite or on the floor) called Hunt a “nigger” which prompted him to go HAM. Hunt has now since signed with the Cleveland Browns.
While looking at news of the signing on Youtube, I came across a video related to the assault of FS1’s Undisputed. In the clip Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless are discussing the incident post Hunt’s termination. Shannon Sharpe is a non-nonsense former NFL athlete, known for posting pics or vids of himself drinking Hennessy and smoking Black & Milds. For you all who don’t know, he is also my super fit 50 year old play uncle who doubles as my spades partnah while on yacht parties in Miami.
In the 13 minute clip, shit gets real at 9:59 mark when Jenny Taft states, “I don’t believe he deserves another shot (in the NFL).” I love how Sharpe logically and thoroughly got ‘talk’n points-double-standard’ Taft together during the segment.
I learned long ago (how the media treated Michael Vick vs how it treated Ben Roethlisberger) that whites view Black male athletes differently than white male athletes. Many white folk view white athletes as determined, critical thinking individuals who had to work hard to achieve a spot on a team and begin their professional careers. White folk view Black athletes as brutes having natural instinctually athletic abilities in their DNA because they’re one generation removed from climbing and swinging through trees in the jungles of Africa. So for Black athletes, it’s a privilege not only when they get selected by an NFL team but to get paid millions of dollars for their ‘natural’ attributes. They don’t take into account the years of study hard work and training Black athletes put into honing their skills to make it to the professional level.
“No Maim”…we are not gonna hold young Black male NFL players to a HIGHER standard than professional civil servants (fireman, police officers) and professionals (teachers, doctors, lawyers)!…just because they get paid millions for their physical talents. I thought it was funny how ‘copy & paste’ Jenny could barely even look at him when he summarily shut her lame talking points down.

Attacking someone, especially a woman, because of a word is still illegal and still pathetic.
Im no feminist by any stretch but let’s not pretend the media makes females the only victim. Stop feeding the racist bullshit.
Lol. Ya’ll be busting a nut over this segment. Dudes on YouTube still talk about it while trashing ole girl for no reason other than being haters. The only problem with her viewpoint is thinking that the NFL cares about anything beyond whether you can contribute to a team and attribute to their bottom line. Trying to compare Kareem to Ben is no different than goofy a$$ Trump supporters trying to compare storming the capitol to the riots last summer. Changing the narrative while exposing their bias. People suck. I swear.
Plenty of logical fallacies here. Sharpe cannot exactly articulate what the standards are and why, presumably, those standards are attributed to race only. This is a huge faulty feature of identifying issues by race or identity. He compares the social standards for public servants versus black athletes. The problem is there are black people who are too public servants,so,therefore the implication is that black public servants are held to a lower standard which contradicts his initial argument. Jenny has a reasonable opinion about how that situation should be handled which in no way or shape involves race – notice sharpe implies Jenny is rationalizing her view on the situation based on race which is flat out stupidity of the highest order and intellectually dishonest. The other occurrences sharpe pointed out to substantiate his point are totally irrelevant to the Kareem incident. In other words, you should contend with the opinion by bringing forth details that make such argument unsound rather than nullifying the argument by attributing implicit bias to the person.
