SLATEmosphere;2590021 said:"2. What was going through the mind of the misguided juveniles who used gasoline to desecrate the front lawn of the house in Chandler, Ariz., where McNabb and his wife, Roxie, live with their children over the offseason. According to a friend of Mrs. McNabb’s, “Go Cards” and other similar messages were burned into the front lawn one night last week. This had to be especially scary to the couple’s four-year-old daughter, Alexis, who was staying in the house with Roxie and the couple’s six-week-old twins. Apparently one of the culprits was identified after leaving a box at the scene with a mailing label affixed bearing his name and address, so we’re obviously not talking about criminal masterminds here. But it’s tough to imagine that anyone over the age of eight doesn’t understand that burning something on the lawn of a house occupied by African-Americans carries deeper social overtones that are highly disturbing. I’m told Donovan took a photo of the damaged lawn and used it as a motivating force for Sunday’s game. I hope it’s the last time he or any other professional athlete ever has that opportunity. "

Wow Card fans really showing who they are..I would expect this from eagle fans..but Card fans?? You've been "good" for like the past 3 weeks now? So now your legit? Please spare me
just cause McNabb is black doesnt mean it is a hate or race crime....sheesh. Why even bring it up. I am tired of the race card being pulled out by the media everytime something happens to a black man or woman. I never see the race card when something happens to a latino or asian.
This was just an immature and illegal display of vandalism over a football game. Some fans need to learn how to check their fandom. The parents of these children need to be fined and brought to justice. There is no reason to go to someones home and vandalize their stuff, under any circumstances.
I despise McNabb with a passion, as I am sure many of you do. I doubt any of us would do such a dispicable act, even when we were teenagers. I also, believe that most of us wouldn't even mock him if we saw him in public. Now if we are at the stadium, he is fair game for ridicule. But outside the stadium, he deserves his personal space and privacy.
