Release the Kraken - Fuck the Canucks
Actually, his defining himself as an african american opened up the chance for others to bring up race. He opened the door, but didn't exactly say that himself. It sparked reporters, pundits, fans, bloggers, etc to chime in and bring up race.The perception was far from mine alone. Loads of people have accused him of playing the race card in that instance. What is there not to understand about a black QB? The Broncos certainly weren't afraid.
He said it was an unfortunate use of words and was frustrated by having to discuss it in those terms.
It was others that made this a race issue IMO, not Cam. He simply said the words that led to it.
He's a poor winner that taunts opposing fans and rubs things into people's faces and he's now a super poor loser and it appears he's entirely fine with being labeled by both. His color isn't relevant to those true and accurate labels.
