Vernon Davis
It's back! The blog post everyone love. It's time for Sitchoazz Down!
This week's award was hard to choose from. The award could have easily went to former Browns QB Derek Anderson for the comments he made about Cleveland's fans, after his release. But I actually thought that was pretty funny (if you didn't hear what he said, click here). So, I couldn't TRULY give it to him if I giggled.
So on to the next one... This weeks award goes to San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis. And with good reason.
If you have been living under a rock, then you haven't heard the news. Washington, DC's Coolidge High School just hired Natalie Robinson to be the first black female head coach of the school's varsity football team.
Of course, this news comes with tons of controversy, especially from the male side. This weekend on Twitter, Vernon Davis let it be known, his feelings on the new head coach near his home town:
First off, it's ridiculous that you can't spell RIDICULOUS. Listen, I know Twitter doesn't have to be grammar perfect. But when you are about to discuss a sensitive topic, I expect all T's crossed, and all I's dotted. Dumb ass!
Okay, he went apples and oranges just that fast. What the hell does a woman football coach have anything to do with a woman's strength coach?!?!
*sexist tweet*
Ummmm.. FYI Mr. Davis, there ARE male cheerleaders out there. Actually, there are male cheerleaders in the NFL. No I'm not making it up. If you think I am, GOOGLE IT!
Okay, this is when the convo totally went left for me..........................
The day that Vernon Davis himself can run a better route than Jerry Rice, is the day he can say something so asinine. This is a guy who was a former 1st round draft pick, but has had an average-at-best NFL career . And you want a female to run a better route than Mr. Jesus In Cleats himself, in Jerry Rice. Well, 99% of the guys in the league already can't run Jerry Rice-type routes, yourself included.
As a female, I'm extremely proud of Ms. Robinson and her accomplishment. But at the same time, I do wonder how she will be able to handle the adversity as well as the high levels of testosterone, which she will have to deal with on a regular basis. While I'm not exactly sure how this will turn out, I support her and the school's decision 100% and hopes she proves the critics wrong.
Vernon Davis has a right to his opinion, and I'm not even mad about his reservations, especially since I have some myself. But it's all about delivery. His tweets came off to be insensitive and chauvinist at times. Dude needs a huge timeout in the STFU chair, at least until his NFL career can become relevant to anyone outside the Bay area.
Vernon Davis, Sitcho irrelevant-azz Down!
LOL...oh boy. Here's my 2 cents.
#1. I think the delivery is horrible and that probably put off more people, but the truth of the matter is this...
#2. In the exact way his thought process is shown in his tweets, is exactly how young boys in DC might be thinking as well. They aren't grown, they young and dumb (not literally, just in a teenage way). What we're basically seeing is the real life version of the movie, "Wildcats" with Goldie Hawn as the coach and Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson as the players.
That was a movie and it barely worked, we are asking this to happen in real life? I think it will take the right coach in the right situation, this story sounds more and more like the movie.
That's all for now, i have more but i'll save it for the show tonight.

Vernon who? I'm in favor of everyone having their opinions, but the "that's why there is cheerleading and other things." :| Really? Really? Does he even know we can vote? What a joke. Props to Ms. Robinson, I hope she proves this jackass wrong.
Vernon clearly has a way to go before he becomes a real man. Maybe this is a sign that those rumors about Vernon being a homosexual are true.
