Quote:Why did Russell say this then: "It’s something I think about, to be the second African-American to win the Super Bowl,” Wilson said. “That’s history right there, man. It’s something special and it’s real. There are so many guys before (me) who have tried to change the game and have done a great job of it."


Russell sees it from a historical point of view. Even though he is the 2nd it is still important to him. It shows progress. It says look were came from and where we are headed. He also sees it from the numbers angle. The QB position was and still is dominated by white players. Although, one black QB has won one, all the other 46 champions have been white. Please tell me you are so dense you don't recognize this.

 

"It's something I think about, being the second African-American quarterback to win, that's something special and it's real," Wilson said. "There are certainly guys before me that tried to change the game and have done a great job of it.

I just wanted to put a link behind what you are saying because someone is going to sweep it under the rug just like what has been going on in this thread.
