ATL-75 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I don't know if it was Freudian slip, but that 'fried chicken' comment is something that reminds of when Fuzzy Zoeller made a comment about Tiger Woods winning the Masters' a few years ago.I don't think Blank is a racist. However, he showed poor judgement in response to the Vick situation --especially on a day in which he was sentenced for nearly two years.Was he joking? Was he serious?With the majority of the season ticket holders being African-American in 2007, his comments may loom large in the days and weeks to come.

dirtybird7181 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Oh my, PLEASEyou people are so sensitiveHe wasnt making a racial comment, he was saying Mike Vick eating prison food for two years might not be the healthiest thing, and he will have to work hard to be in any kind of shape to play football as soon as he gets out.Dont make a mountain out of a mole hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonfalcon Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I'm a Vegetarian and I found Blank's comment more offensive then anything I have ever heard before. I'm thinking about burning all my Falcons gear to show I can be as stupid as anyone in the USA. Oh hang on, does that mean I'm racist too - dam it!:w00t::P:w00t::P:w00t::P:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 my God, give it a rest folks. It had nothing to do with his race. It is the south. Fried Chicken is it. Everyone eats french fires too. It is also a staple of prison meals. and supported his main point of Mike not eating bad food.Maybe he should have said "hopefully Mike doesnt eat to many hotdogs and spam burgers", but I am sure then someone would make a thread complaining that Blank was trying to push his cracker trailor diet onto a brother. this board is like a bunch of vaginas with keyboards.......

dingofish Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Funny, he mentioned two foods and he's racist for that? Why ignore the fries? Wouldn't that make his statement only potentially 50% racist? Or is that not convenient enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southga08 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 STFU. That is what kind of food you eat in the south dummy. Black, white, yellow, green it don't matter everybody likes fried chicken down here. If somebody is so sensistive that they won't come watch the Falcons because of that, then who cares, let em.

Was he serious?With the majority of the season ticket holders being African-American in 2007, his comments may loom large in the days and weeks to come.Dude, are YOU serious?? You are the one being racist by assuming that Blank was talking about black people when he said the words "Fried Chicken". Are you saying that black people are the only people in the world who eat fried chicken? Do you even live in the South? Go to any southern-style restaurant and you will find fried chicken on the menu. Fried chicken even has global appeal. Go to any Asian country and you will see the overwhelming popularity of fried chicken. If you or any black person feels that Blank was being racist, you are really being paranoid and oversensitive. Blank used the example of fried chicken because it is a food that is high in fat and high in cholesterol, and therefore if Vick eats a lot of unhealthy food, he will quickly get out of shape and fat. Stop trying to make this into something that it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' In DC Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Alright lets talk about something worthwhile. Do you really think that or are you just upset that YKW will probably never play for Falcons or in the league again.Take it from me that eating prison food for 2 years, even in Club Fed, is not a very appetizing experience.:sick:Why don't you talk about how decimated this team is starting with both D-Line and O-Line.
