Re: Baron Batch: Rookie Duty and Twitter Rants
Wow. How exactly is it disrespectful to describe one's own hair? Nappy headed means you have tightly coiled hair. Baron doesn't exactly have long flowing locks. You're good with ashy knees, though? Good to know. 
Looking at Ben and his wife, if she had a nappy headed child, I'm pretty sure the entire league, it's fan base and Mr.Goodell would be contacting him (wondering exactly how close Willie Colon actually is with the Roethlisberger family).
Sorry but it IS disrespectful. You say Knappy Headed means tightly rolled Hair right ?, well then shouldn't the term be Knappy haired ? Sorry Ruthless but a negative term is still a negative term. And Knappy Headed is a negative term. Just like the " N " word is. And if you think there wouldn't be a difference between Batch using that term, and a " White " person, then I'm SURE Ex-MSNBC " ICON " Don Imus would like to have a little chat with you.
Bottom line, Batch was wrong for using it.....Period!!
so i guess you werent a nappy roots fan
its called comedy. he obviously has a great sense of humor and can make fun of himself. it was stupid what happened to imus. people are way to sensitive these days. even if he made fun of white people i wouldnt give a crap, hell i make fun of white people all the time (which is very easy when you live in stowe, VT. i make fun of everyone and that is equality
Look, I don't care how one uses that term, it is wrong. It has a negative conintation to it. Of course there is a difference between Baron Batch, and Don Imus. Batch is a little known football player on IR who 90 % of the league fans have never heard of. Don Imus was a nationally known Radio and TV super Star who was head by 100's of Millions each day. What Imus did was wrong, and he had to know what MIGHT have happened to him. But Batch, IF he were more of a nationally known player, like say TO, or Chad Johnson, and he used that term, it would be getting some attention, and would probably be a main topic on ESPN's " First Take " with Skip Bayless. But in the end, nothing would happen to those " Black " players. But you can be assured if a guy like Ben said it, even in gest, he would be cruscified. And fined, and probably be suspended from Goodell AFTER the likes of Jesse Jackson and Rev Sharpton made their opinions known.
That is why I feel what Batch said was wrong. He is NOT a bad guy. Just the opposite. But even the good ones make errors from time to time. That is something I DEFINITELY know about
....cause I do it all the time.

I love this young man. I really do. However, whether he is Black or not I feel does not give him the right to use the term " Nappy Headed " in his rant about child support. To me that was very disrespectful, and, if say Ben would have wrote those twitter posts, and used the term " Nappy Headed " as it goes to HIM having any children right now to support. I'm pretty sure the entire league, it's fan base and Mr.Goodell would be contacting him. And like I said, just because one is Black does NOT give one free reign to use such terms. But, that aside, I enjoyed his comments.
