John] Jenkins called for the punt formation. It is that glaring difference in treatment that legitimizes questions asking whether Willingham’s firing was racially motivated. If nothing else, it keeps alive the perception that racial undertones were at work."<BR/><BR/>And, this is why we feel that Gene is such a bland writer. Without a discernable point of view.<BR/><BR/>He can't even come out and say what he wants. Clearly, he believes race was involved. But he painstakingly frames it in such a way as to avoid the accusation. 'Legitimizes questions' and 'keeps alive the perception' are such pansy ass phrases.nation_of_islam_sportsbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491761873319173870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4820078089278798499.post-35792662619858095332008-12-02T15:27:00.000-05:002008-12-02T15:27:00.000-05:00The question, then, is did Gene write an article a...The question, then, is did Gene write an article about how firing Ty was wrong, due to ND's (racist) tradition, when it happened? I'm obviously too lazy (or just have no interest in going over Wojciechowski articles from the past) to look this up, but my guess would be no.
