That's a racial slur, don't know if you intended it to be or not. It won't be addressed tho because of the double standard around here.

 

Not one ounce of racism intended.  If I have offended you I apologize.

 

Either way, she was only asking the questions she was told to ask.  She's a robot.  Better?

That's why I said I didn't know if you intended it to be or not. I'm myself not offended, just pointed out that it's a sensitive thing coming from the black community. For others who have responded, I can't make you understand being black I just can't. Just know that using the word monkey and a black person in the same sentence is a very very touchy thing.

Everyone here has seen remember the titans correct? "I'm not doing anything to help that monkey" tossing him the banana. It's a racist slur, doesn't matter the intent, and I'm not offended just pointing it out.

Sigh. [*sarcastically*] How was it a loaded question laced with opinion.

It was a well-formed question designed to get a

real answer that a player can't just BS around or give a non-answer to. She could have just asked, "How is your rapport with the new receivers," to which Cam could just say, "good," or, "fine," or give some rehearsed, longer BS response that basically said "good" or "fine."

That's the mark of a good reporter. And that you can't distinguish between the two, again, is why we will have blonde airheads doing this job from now on. Because when a woman asks something incisive, she is labelled as clueless because her questions don't jive with the narrative that male fans want to hear.

Enjoy years of, "Hey, Cammy Cam! You're just the best! What is your favorite color?"

She started with the question, "How Are you in the patience department?" Then she inserted her opinion and conjecture in the statement "which you are going to need a LOT of."

She doesn't know that to be a reality. As far as anyone knows at this point, This could be Cams easiest and most successful year at QB.

She could have made that statement based on the fact that he overthrew Kelvin Benjamin by 5 yards (because he doesn't know him, his speed, his separation, etc. yet). Or the fact that he went 4 for 9 in his first game action. That was pretty observable to anyone with eyes and brain cells.

 

The fact is that he will need patience in order to develop a rapport with a bunch of receivers he doesn't know from Adam and has had limited time to work with coming off an injury.

 

If you think it's a slight against him, then you are way too protective of Cam.

 

It was a fine question from a professional reporter.

Agree to disagree. Everybody's entitled to their own interpretation of what was said. Even though I disagree with your interpretation, I'm not going to "hate" you for it.

The black zookeeper fed a banana to a monkey at the zoo.
