Good I was waiting on my daily hotboyzzzz news.
Who cares about football this is transcendent like jaylons swipe. His swipe is much more than just a celebration, it’s “swiping away all the negativity in the entire world”

These guys are trying to save humanity and all we are concerned with is a stupid game.

Athlete box? It's what you are and it's why you get paid. You're a football player. Hot Boyz is a shameless promotion and a crap one at that. Lets stop trying to sell it as something else! This D stinks and that name is a joke for that reason.
so its oK for SF to steal it and make a bigger deal out of it ? just not Tank because he started it?

Counting down the days to when the team can get out of this fool's contract. It's clear they made a mistake, and so did I in calling for them to pay him. He's clearly an idiot, but unfortunately he's being paid and counted on to be a leader that he's clearly not, but mistakenly thinks he is.

I only hope that McCarthy and Co can somehow come in a put the squash to this off-field, 'brand', social media nonsense.

:facepalm:
Whats even worse is Dlaw and Jaylon are the best defensive "Leaders" this team has. Let that sink in.

I understand his point. Black athletes, in particular, are often stereotyped as just athletes.

In his case, though, most of us fans think Dlaw succeeds from smarts and excellent technique. I've never considered DLaw an athletic freak or anything.

Athletes are stereotyped as athletes, actors are stereotyped as actors. Nether are stereotyped for scholars.

Nobody really stereotypes either as smarter than themselves just by those careers alone.

Star players in college major sports really rarely have the time necessary to concentrate on studies, white or black!

There are a few out there but not many. I read a stat today that 950 of the over 1600 players in the NFL have an arrest on their record - nobody is more responsible for the stereotype than themselves!
