Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens have used their Versus TV show, "The T.Ocho Show," to grab attention with intriguing soundbites all season long. In the latest episode, Ochocinco and Owens discussed the $50,000 fine Brett Favre got for not cooperating with the Jenn Sterger investigation. Owens commented on the size of the fine compared to Favre's salary, which sent Ochocinco off on a controversial tangent in which he suggested that racial prejudice exists in the NFL. "Time and time again, I'm always gonna put one of us in the situation," Owens said, "and if it was somebody else, this right here would have been dealt with early on. What more can you get out of Brett Favre? They fined him 50 grand, that's nothing. They just gave him 4 million extra dollars just to come back and play this year. Do you think somebody's gonna give me an extra four million just to come back and play next year?" Ochocinco responded: "You know why? You want me to tell you why? You want me to tell you why? Listen, and you better not edit this. You wanna know why they won't give you an extra $4 million to come back and play? 'Cause you're black. Period. Case closed. "If you wanna be honest, if you wanna be real. The season is over. We can't get in trouble. I will say what I please now." It's not the first time the subject of race has been brought up by the duo. In an early episode of the show, Owens suggested Ben Roethlisberger got a favorable suspension over his sexual assault allegations because he's white. Source: NFL Fanhouse
A) They're saying what the rest of the NFL thinks, although in a different manner. if it were anyone other than Brett Favre it probably would have been handled differently (although I still think he didn't really do anything wrong). B) They're not the only two who say crap like this.. I'm not racist in the least but the vast majority of black people say crap like that, so dunno why that's gonna surprise anyone.
It was handled differently because he's Brett Favre, not because he's white. If Marshall Faulk's schlong ended up on some chick's cell phone I don't think he would have been fined any more. If either one of these clowns did it, they'd get crucified though.
SHUT UP ALL YOU RACISTS !!!!! chad is freaking right, what else would explain michael vick even being given a second chance to play ? and pac man given 30 chances ? and leonard little a 2nd chance ? and donte stallworth ? and 1/2 the bengal's roster over the last 5yrs ? seriously people, open your eyes.
