Former NFL player calls for racially segregated game to replace Pro Bowl: 'Sick of average white guys'

Former NFL running back Rashard Mendenhall took to social media Monday to call for a racially segregated pro football game.

“I’m sick of average white guys commenting on football,” the Super Bowl champion said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “Y’all not even good at football.”

Mendenhall, who played for the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers, offered a replacement to the existing Pro Bowl.

“Can we please replace the Pro Bowl with an All-Black vs. All-White bowl so these cats can stop trying to teach me who’s good at football?” he asked. “I’m better than ur goat.”

Former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt entertained the idea, noting that the "All-White" team would struggle to defend against Tyreek Hill, a Black wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins known for his speed.

“We’d get cooked at corner, not gonna lie,” Watt said. “Nobody on our squad is covering Tyreek [laughing emoji].”

Steelers podcast host Christopher Carter alleged the seemingly unprovoked post hints at potential mental struggles for Mendenhall.

On July 25, 2008, Mendenhall agreed to a five-year contract worth US$12.55 million with the Steelers, of which $7.125 million is guaranteed. Today he is just getting by on Big Macks and coke.

Segregation: back to the future.

So, why not have black states, and black cities, and all-black schools at all levels? All-black teams and all-white teams, in all sports? All-black corporations/companies/businesses. No interracial marriages. All-black busing and all-black planes and all-black trains. All-black and all-white parks and all-black/all-white theme parks. All-black Hollywood/all-black movies/all-black TV shows... oh, wait... that’s already happening.

The possibilities boggle the mind.

That would be better than watching blacks act like they’ve never been on the field before. White player tend to go straight back to the huddle to hustle into the next lay. Blacks continue to act out for the crowds and act like that was their first tackle or sac or running play. The celebrations are unsportsman like conduct IMHO.

“Didn’t white guys invent the game of football? So it’s cultural appropriation for anyone else to play it.”

That’s right. Why are blacks culturally appropriating a white man’s sport?

Maybe teams could actually win games without some black guy causing a flag on every play.

Democrats have always believed in racial segregation.

The democrats have succeeded in convincing people that segregation is good.

Historically that has always been the belief of most Democrats (e.g. slavery, KKK, civil rights legislation, etc.)

Mendenhall became a TV writer whose shows not on the air anymore. My guess is he’s been doing a lot of drinking or drugging. Maybe he’s also defensive that his own NFL career wasn’t the best or what it could have been, so he takes it out on white players.

Hahahaha. Wow. Just wow. If you’re a black guy, you can just be openly racist, and everyone says, ‘that’s ok. Black people can’t be racist’.

Well, since he opened the door, let’s take a look. White would probably have an advantage at coach. Numerous experienced successful coaches: Andy Reid, Belichick, Doug Pederson. Black has some choices, I’d probably take Demeco Ryans for the good job he’s doing at Houston. Still, advantage White.

QB: This could be a toss-up. Numerous great QBs for each team. I’d say slight edge to Black, as I think Mahomes is the best QB.

RB: I’ll give the edge to White with McCaffrey.

WR: Solid edge Black. Tyreek Hill, AJ Brown, CeeDee Lamb.

TE: Edge White. Travis Kelce, George Kittle.

O-Line: Edge White. I’d just start the Eagles O-line.

Defense: Edge Black. Both teams have good pass rushers. Black has more speed, talent in the back 7.

Special teams: Edge White.

I think it would be a very competitive game. White would want to run the ball. Control the clock. White running game vs. Black run defense; that’s where I’d attack if I was the White coach.

Black would want to attack the White corners, trying for big plays. They’d have to be aggressive, as their kicking game would be weak.

I’d probably make Black a 3-4 point favorite based on their defensive advantage.

Is the NFL racist as the majority of players are black not in proportion to the population? So much for equity.

This may be a good idea and would justify not watching pro football any more.

This is why I stopped watching NFL quite a while ago. Years, in fact.

If it was a real game, where both teams are really trying to win (unlike the Pro Bowl), I would absolutely watch that game.

But this time the democrats have convinced minorities to segregate themselves.

Voluntarily segregation, voluntarily genocide, voluntarily poverty, quite the feat.
