Can you possibly be serious?
Having pride in your own national heritage is ~ in your eyes ~ the same as expressing distaste for an entire race??
Why are you defending this guy so vehemently??
1) He hasn't hurt anyone from what I know, so comparing him to people who have hurt others is insane. I'm defending his choice to buy jerseys, no matter what the reason is.
2) Your criticisms are inconsistent. Do you
seriously think there aren't any short guys out there that LOVE Welker in no small part because he is short as well?
Do you
seriously think that there are no Brady fans in the Boston area who like him partially due to his Irish heritage?
What about the people that were psyched about the possibility of Edelman being Jewish?
I know several people who are of Polish background that are thrilled that our beast in the making is also Polish.
Yes, people have favorites and preferences based on a lot of criteria, and "race" is nothing more than classification of physical characteristics. If you want to jump over someone for admitting it, go ahead, but be consistent and bach everyone else for doing the same thing when they're more discreet about doing it.
Neither I nor anyone else incur harm by someone's choice of a Welker jersey so I'm not going to attack someone as though they are.
That being said, if anyone has any Faulk jerseys in XXL please let me know.
