ARTICLE FROM profootballtalk.com (Full story click here)

Former University of Washington great and NFL Hall of Famer Warren Moon says Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton of Auburn is being treated wrong and it is racism.

Read the above article to read all of what Moon had to say on this issue. But I will say this, I agree 100% in what Warren is saying in the article. People in the media calling Newton “phony” and talking about his smile etc. He is being treated different.

Also Warren Moon is very upset with the media asking if Newton can run this offense or that offense but others are not being treated this way. He makes a very good point in my opinion.

If anyone can speak on racism and bias it is Moon. When he was at the U-Dub back in the 70’s he was called the “N” word by fans numerous times. It hurt him time and time again. But Moon dealt with it and became a great QB.

I agree with Moon when he says racism is alive and well. Heck, just look at sports radio in this town. And by the way one thing that REALLY makes me mad is listening to sports radio and hearing two people who are not African American discuss racism!! Boy it burns me up!!

I heard two sports radio hosts discuss Moon’s comments and one guy disagreed with Warren when it came to racism and Cam Newton. Readers this sports radio host does not have a clue about the topic so he and other sports radio hosts in this town need to chill out when it comes to racism. They just cannot relate and have zero understanding on the topic. Period.

Finally, it is real strange that the local newspapers and online sites refuse to have Moon’s comments in a prominent position for the readers. I had to search for the article. BUT UW QB Jake Locker was all over the front page online and in the paper. To me readers this is flat out bias. Moon is a Hall Of Famer and ex U.W. great player.
