Wow he is racist. Lol

 

[slapshot]

If Randy was black Earl wouldn’t have ran for as many yards and probably doesn’t win the Heisman hno:

 

[Doug]

By the title, I thought it was going to be about betting

 

[Enfuego]

Mr. Campbell, let me introduce you to Mr. Brady, Mr. Brees and Mr. Aaron Rodgers.

 

[exploited17]

The double standard is the only annoying thing here. People just don't want to admit that groups are different and tribal which is why diversity(the kind without a super majority) destroys. people llok for what benefits them and push outward on society. The numbers make the difference. Whitey is the only group that has has this been beaten out of them These lessons are being learned and things will probably change as people learn how important it is It is much easier to just avoid everything or wash....rinse ....repeat.....WE ARE ALL THE SAME

 

[rolltide]

best part is Campbell thinks Tua is black. probably thinks Tagovailoa is a Muslim name, too

wonder if Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence, and Jake Fromm are black enough for him? in the current top 8 in ncaa, 7 QB aren't black.

 

[Illini]

It's pretty funny that he thinks Ehlinger is the problem with Texas.

Successful pro QBs. He's talking college.

He’s saying to be a good football team, you need a black QB.

 

[Michelangelo]

It's refreshing to hear somebody say what he really thinks.

Someone, somewhere, somehow has pushed us to the point where we can't have free thought or free expression.

I say let everyone say whatever the hell is on their mind. An honest society would be a better society.

And Earl Campbell doesn't have to be a racist to say what he said.

I'm sick of the PC rule makers in our society.
