    If it's human nature for white people to root for the white guy, why is Bayless "for" the black guy? He's not black.

    Oh, by the way, just horrible. Maybe ESPN will fire him

    Maybe Bayless isn't human ...

    Is RG3's fiancee rooting for Cousins?

    Is it human nature that caused him to be a retard?

    Better or worse than talking Tebow/Sanchez?

    That is the most stupidly irresponsible and baseless allegation I've ever read. Ever. Oh my gawd, this is Weekly World News level bullshit. There's not one fucking Redskins fan in the world, except any who happened to also graduate from Michigan State, and even then only maybe, who thinks any of that. RG3 is the most popular person in the city. He was last week, last month, and right now. By a landslide. Including the president. The only idiots saying that are Bayless and the nitwits who did the Bears preseason game the other day. That's it. Period.

    Why does ESPN try so fucking hard to lower the bar? What a mother fucking joke that network has become.

    Agree with FH.
    As a lifelong 'Skins fan, that's one of the most off-base, blatant let-me-stir-the-pot attempts I've seen.

    All these talking heads are there to stir the pot and cause controversy. Like him or hate him, he at least managed to get your attention and that's all he's trying to do.

    Remember, this is the same ESPN that thought Limbaugh would be great on the Sunday morning show.

    I haven't found anything to suggest that Redskins fans are racist. Lacking in intelligence and delusional, sure. :D But racist? Ludicrous.

    This is not a profound statement, sorry.
