There were good intentions behind it, but it’s not worth a 15 yard penalty.

I didn’t see it … what happened ?? I mean i can try and piece it together, but what was his celebration going to be ??

Cleveland would have been 15 yards closer to the endzone. You can’t say they would’ve scored a touchdown had they been 15 yards closer. But I definitely agree with the sentiment of the post.

Politics does have a place in sports, but it has to be the right place.

When Jesse Owens won in Munich in 1936 he totally stuck it to the Nazi party and was proud of it. Sadly he came come to an America that made him drink out of seperate water fountains and who segregated their military.

Poltics and sports can have powerful and progressive impacts, but again it has to be done the right way and at the right time. Usually that means making your statement AFTER you have won.

when the game is not on the line. I’m a McCain guy, but I completely agree with the man and love the idea.

I understand that the idea stems from Obama being elected, but the glove was meant to signify how far we’ve come as a country in terms of race discrimination. Of course, I understand it’s about Obama and that Marshall is clearly a supporter. I just think that the event he wanted to symbolize is someone of mixed race becoming president of a country that has the history of ours. I know some people don’t want this kind of thing in sports at all but for a guy getting paid that much, paying a small fine (and doing it when the game isn’t close) is more than worth it to make your statement. Don’t think you can blame him other than for the timing

the timing was absolutely retarded and I’m glad that A) we have no one on our team who would pull that sort of stuff and B) if we did, our veterans and Dungy would make sure it wouldn’t happen
