Who would win, if we did have an All-Black Guys Team vs. All White Guys Team bowl-style game annually? This would be a laugher, in different directions, in basketball or baseball - but could be pretty close on the football field. Who are the white DBs? Who kicks for the Black…

Given that Rashard Mendenhall fumbled in the biggest game of his life when he was hit by a white guy, he may be working through some stuff. https://t.co/mF8lUpUjxa
Rashard Mendenhall, Kendrick Perkins, and Gilbert Arenas all made the same case: White athletes are inferior and have no place in black spaces, like the NFL and NBA. Seems pretty racist, no? https://t.co/j7eeXMzFV3
Rashard Mendenhall has a screw loose. Always has. Remember he tweeted this about bin Laden’s death: “What kind of person celebrates death? It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We've only heard one side...” https://t.co/OtFeFJi0uL

The sports media is always looking to call someone a racist. Yet they have been silent on Rashard Mendenhall posting an overtly racist tweet about white people. Mike Florio, RGIII, and Jemele Hill have nothing to say. https://t.co/j7eeXMzFV3

I love so much that Jason Sehorn is trending by Rashard Mendenhall tweeting that we need to replace the Pro Bowl with a Race Bowl & he's the only white CB anyone can think of. https://t.co/FX5uOBWpa6
You averaged fewer than 4 yards a carry during your short and unremarkable career and are best known for fumbling in the Super Bowl and costing your team the win. If average guys can't comment on football then lackluster nobodies like yourself really better shut up. https://t.co/EGmg8sAhxg
Can we have a draft for the mixed race and “other” for this pro bowl? I’d watch this. https://t.co/bFGtj43mgS
Monday after a Saints & Pels win be like!! https://t.co/tLPiQcc0VL
Maybe you should stop posting your "thoughts" on who should be allowed to comment on football, seeing as how you're completely incoherent. Given that most of NFL's viewers happen to be white, I wonder what the sport would look like if white guys were to just stop watching it. https://t.co/UwIn3Qpclp
