Onalaska ISD Superintendent Lynn Redden from Texas is under fire after he accidentally posted "you can't count on a black quarterback" on a public facebook group for a local newspaper inciting that black men are NOT good at being football players as people quickly pounced on that statement as racist..

He was regarding QB Deshaun Watson from Houston Texas as Matt Ericksen grabbed that post before he tried deleting it.

He felt it was important to call out what he calls blatant racism and said "It's important to make sure horrible words are met with consequences, especially for those in powerful positions with influence"

Redden said it was in reference to Watsons play with the ball in the final seconds ticked off the clock who said "That may have been the most inept quarterback decision i've seen in the NFL. When you need precision making you can't count on a black quarterback"

He said he didn't realize it was for public posting and now he totally regrets it but said he won't face any consequences even though people interpret that as racist because he said STATISTICS prove that black men are NOT good in the NFL.

He says "Over the history of the NFL, they have had limited success in the sport. I wish it had never been posted but i was just being honest about black football players"

Do you think this is a racist post?

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

"Can't trust" and "can't count on" have very different connotations. You can't use them interchangeably.

Well, that's certainly not a ridiculous overreaction to some stupid shit the guy immediately took back...

If black players aren't good, why are they over-represented in the NFL? >_>

Yup, the guy probably loves having black players on defense... because he is convinced they're better at stealing at running away...

Which is still dumb because black quarterbacks are largely successful.
In fact, I'd wager the percent of white QB busts far outweigh black QB busts.

Also: I'm aware I'm replying to Muscles.

"Can't count on" = "Can't trust to do a good job." In the context of talking specifically about football players, I feel it's implicit that the trust in question is specifically in regards to playing football. Duckbear's made some questionable word choices in his past efforts to paraphrase, but I think this one's okay.

It kinda feels like you were just waiting for an opportunity to sneak in a racist joke.

is it racist yes. But the guy would probably be fired if he said YOU CAN'T Trust Mentally CHALLENGED MEN as FOOTBALL QUARTERBACK!!!

It's discriminating to single out any group of people.

Well thats just straight up wrong. Some of the best players in the NFL are black, especially running backs.
