CFL team says it’s not signing Pacman Jones

@Wayne,,,couple of things to keep in mind when pointing fingers,,,those Pyramids in Egypt weren't built Mon-Fri with lunch breaks and 15 min water stops for union pay scales. They were built off of slave labor. And one stat Black americans forget to throw into the slavery conversation is that rival tribes caught and sold Africans to the Dutch Indies trading group to sell as slaves in the US. Another interesting conversation that black Americans never seem to want to have is the genicide that takes place in Africa. Those aren't white guys swinging the machetes in Rwanda. I will give you South Africa,,but Africa in general through it's history is just as much a warring continent as anywhere else, commiting autrocities like starving it's people,,poisining they're their own lands with hazordous waste for money, genocide, rape, war lords producing as much violance as anyone else in history. Take a look in China and Jappanese culture and history and can point the same there as well. I dont dispute your remarks about whites, but only trying to make the point that any culture or nations, or peoples history has autrocities and acts of violance involved in it. Ignorance,violance, slavery, genocide doesn't know color. Why it is important to take someone for who they are not for they're color, gender, or religon. Just a thought

"Slack man" what happend to him? Thought he would be a All star, he was nothing but disapointment.

@539: I always laugh when someone start off with a qualifier or a disqualifer "i'm not a racist" or "i'm not crazy" etc. what proceeds out of your mouth will inform your audience what you are truly about anyway. LMBO! If you're not a racist (according to you), you are surely quite naive to believe and quote every statistic you hear over the airwaves as an actual fact. did you actually conduct the study yourself? hell no, you didn't. you probably don't how to conduct a statistical study either. according to your dumbarse assertion, 33% of the people i know would be part of the system - it is not true at all. it all depends on the sample from which numbers are derived in the first place.

@547: Hmmm. Where do I start? I guess the beauty of the internet is that you talk as big as you want without the fear of getting your arse kicked. I don't care about your all-to-typical racial commentary, but I think you need to get a proper understanding of what is "civilized" and what is "uncivilized." When you examine the history of the White race, you will find that it is the most destructive race of people on the planet. Think about it. Everywhere and every civilization the white man has encountered, he has destroyed - in the name of being civilized. Let's see...africa, asia, north america, south america, caribbeans, the middle east, and all of its native civilizations were destroyed at the hands of barbarous white men. 6 million jews, 6 million gypsies and others, 15 million africans, and the hundreds of thousands of native americans were murdered by your "barbaric race." You can die with you racist sympathies, I don't care. But you should, first, have a clear understanding of civility and the disregard shown to it by your race. You think because you have traded in your white sheets for business suits, seats in the government, and residing as corporate chairs that your race is any less barbaric?

@556,,aggree with you to a extent,,but when you speak of how the fellow "white" workers than attacked him on race. You should add in the undying loyalty and support by fellow "black" workers that regardless of the offense of the individual it's the "white man out to get him". Funny thing is,, anyone who is wealthy can only see one color -"green" and could careless about anyone who isn't "green". Rich people only like rich people ,,yet we all act like these famous wealthy people actually identify with us. They insult us by lying to us ,,acting stupid, breaking laws and yet we stick up for them like they are our best friends or use it as a opportunity to attack them in the most ignorant ways rather than on the actual issues. Been screwed over, stabbed in the back, attacked, judged, treated like garbage by all colors. I know it's not the popular oppinion out there to agree with,,but find it's best to look at the individual before I stick up or attack them, less of a way to embarrass myself, do a good enough job of that on my own, like my spelling,,

Yo people, can't we just blog along? Btw "Yo Adrian, I did it!" :D I like Vick. But this guy-what a waste of talent. I thought he'd be great with the Cowboys. Life is short, I wish the guy luck. A lot of people here are right,
it's not about skin color. It's about attitude.

Look at Plax. He could of maybe made it back to the Superbowl. Ok dumb mistake, I admit. But come on-the guy is ready to fight a coach? There has to be a boundary between ego and not attacking coaches.

One thing though that bothers me, is the hatred that comes out from my white co-workers (I'm white) towards black football players who mess up. Hey people are people. Ricky Williams messed up-he's not the devil. Vick f*cked up doing some real whacked out stuff.

I don't support what he did but he does deserve a 2nd chance. But the hatred from my supposedly very religious "Christian" co-workers...now that was unexpected. One guy was frothing at the mouth about Plax. I couldn't believe the hatred from the White guys. Hey I aint stupid; having a bad attitude is stupey.

Pacman,
I'm shaking my head. Totally whacked-there should be some extensive counciling that goes along with NFL contracts. "Ok you are going to get a lot of money, going to drink and party...people will be approaching you and...don't forget stupey, you have a game to play!"

People like Plax, Vick and Pacman can be the councilors to younger players. It's a shame to see potential Hall of Famers become Hall of Shamers. That's it! Hall of Shamers...someone pick up the ball and run with it! :D

Peace

Hey aaron V, Post 521: This is a sports article to comment on. It is not the unabomber manifesto that you spewed out with all your hate and rage. Why don't you get off your butt and try to change things for the better. The goverment has poured trillions of dollars into these rathole inner cities and they are worse than ever. I would like to see pencil dicks like you and those racists Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton tell Black men to take care of their wives and children. Have some guts moron, do something by yourself instead of waiting for it from the government.

from post293 I have no problem fighting blacks done it all thru school, but these days you will probably get shot and i want to live. gone are the days fight and live to fight another day. and also i am not totally racist . i have some black friends just the majority feel like white should be scared of them and acts like whites owe them something.

True that Lind. Hahahaha

@551...try befriending a black person?....no thanks...i don't need the problems that go with it...i like the large circle of good people that i am around...and have been around for years. Thanks anyways....lol

If there is any man in football who deserves no support ,,,respect,,or help. This is he, six arrests and 12 incidents involving the cops in 4 years? If you knew someone like this personally you would avoid him. If they were your friend you would eventually give up and walk away. If you were a boss, you would never hire him. It has nothing to do with gender, race, height, weight, religous beliefs, or political views he is just not worth the effort or time. He should get a Gump shirt,,cus stupid is,, as stupid does.

A 4 team league!!!??? WTF!?

A 4 team leauge!!!??? WTF!?

Poor guy just doesn't get it...

Post 501 is about a f**king moron too! if you think sharpton and jackson are the sole bandits that keep racisim alive in this country you should try education first and crack second. as for the idiot thats so tired of hearing blacks trump the race card, try befriending a black person first, before you speak next time dick. i'm sure you don't have any black friends though, i'm tirede of hearing the racist crap coming out of your mouth and hearing you defend the racist pieces of crap like you. if you dont like minorites don't watch tv, talk about them go join the clan if your not already apart of them. im sick of watching cable and seeing 100 out 101 channels driven for white people but you dont hear me throwing racial slurs your way prick!

I want PacMan Jones to sign with the Bengals so he can room with Chris Henry on road trips!!!!!

mercedes you and the rest of the racists retards are pathetic, check your stats again, more robberies are committed by whites, more fraud, more petty and grand theft, more domestic violence, more lynchings, more crime day to day are committed by whites then any other race white or blue collar jackass

good riddence. he isn't worth hiring as a towel boy.

I'm not a racist, but I can read statistics. 1 in every 3 black men above the age of 16 are in some part of the criminal justice system.

Not like white people don't commit crimes, but they call them white collar crimes. And they usually involve financial gain as motive, not violent crimes originated from programming from birth that they must screw over the person in front of them to move ahead.

As for Pacman, he's screwed. He'll file for bankruptcy because he can't pay off his Bentleys, and be in jail before this decade ends-guaranteed.

White men screw up too; Dommer, Mansen, Macveigh, Vanilla Ice...

Pacman will soon have his own reality show called......
"The trials and tribulations of Pacman"
I'm not kidding, it's already in the works for an MTV affiliate here in Wackyland, CA.
Part of the deal will be incentives if he DOES get into trouble again, so
we aint seen nothin yet, folks.

Junnigirl, I got your dam porch monkey you flat azz, ghost skinned man-lover that smells like a wet dog!!!

aaron v
You say us white people are the racist, look in the mirror you biggit. You are probley sitting in your trailer writing this trash, saying the white man is holding you down while you cash the welfair check I am paying for. I personally can not stand white people who hate black people but reading the crap you write makes me understand why they do.you are a coon and don't ever think you are anything better than ghetto you probley love in.

I have to agree w/ Lind.
