Was Falcons Owner’s statement racist?
Posted by jannelle on December 11, 2007
For those who did not watch last night’s Falcons/Saints game, Falcons owner Authur Blank talked to the Monday Night Football broadcasting team. He talked about the all of Vicks roadblocks for an NFL return. Then, he mentioned the possiblilty of Vick eating too much fried chicken and gaining weight.
There are two ways to look at this: One, what Blank said was racist. Two, Blank offered a poor commentary on the possibility of Vick’s diet behind bars.
After looking at the video, what do you all think? racist or wrong choice of words?

Wrong choice of words. Vick is a big dude…it is a assumed he eats a lot sooo don’t go blow this outta proportion!

No one here is blowing this out of porportion. It just a question up for debate. If I was blowing this out proportion, the title would have read “Arthur Blank’s Racist Statement” or worse, “Arthur Blank is a Racist”.
Many people are pondering the same thing.
