Named for John Heisman and presented to the best college football player every season, candidates then had to meet the antiquated qualification that they be a young gentleman and sportsman in \u201cpursuit of excellence with integrity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, even in 1935 one had to swallow hard in consideration of Coach Heisman\u2019s 1916 Georgia Tech team narrowly defeating Cumberland College, 222-0 (confirmed by ESPN).<\/p>\n<p>The Eddie Robinson Award, in 1987 named for the longtime coach of Grambling football, is annually presented the NCAA Division I coach of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Always left ignored by the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> is that Robinson, the black coach of a black team, was notorious for weekly cruelties against black opponents, mercilessly running up the score to win by 50, 60 and 70, even calling timeout in slaughters for two-point conversions. Robinson enjoyed humiliating opponents.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15893387\"><img alt=\"Grambling\" data- data- height=\"324\" width=\"222\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Former Grambling coach Eddie Robinson.<\/span><span>AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>ESPN has named its Humanitarian Award for Muhammad Ali, who popularized and helped perpetuate trash-talking, public disrespect for opponents. Among opponents he trashed was Joe Frazier, who he racially mocked as \u201ca gorilla,\u201d and former heavyweight champ Floyd Patterson, a gentleman and sportsman Ali needlessly belittled.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award.<\/p>\n<p>Ali, with the full indulgence of the media, called Cassius Marcellus Clay his \u201cslave name,\u201d which was extraordinary nonsense. Cassius Marcellus Clay was a courageous <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>paper publisher whose business was torched in Lexington, Ky., for its strong abolitionist content. He reopened in Cincinnati where he continued his anti-slavery activism.<\/p>\n<p>But it now seems too late for Teddy Roosevelt, as even the mayor of NYC plays ignorant or is ignorant of Roosevelt\u2019s history. In 1901, Roosevelt knowingly infuriated much of America, especially Southern whites, by inviting black educator Booker T. Washington to the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The New Orleans Times-Democrat declared, \u201cWhen Mr. Roosevelt sits down to dinner with a Negro, he declares that the Negro is the social equivalent to the white man.\u201d A Memphis paper reported that Roosevelt committed \u201cthe most damnable outrage ever perpetuated by any citizen of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roosevelt also insisted upon black representation at Republican Party conventions, reminding delegates, \u201cWe are the party of Lincoln.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But out you, go, Teddy. The new history is in town. Yours is a statue of limitations.<\/p>\n<p>Same with you, Matthias Baldwin. A mob in Philadelphia posing as racial activists (or at least identified by the media as such), determined his statue be desecrated and covered in spray paint. Did the vandals know \u2014 or even care \u2014 that he was a courageous early abolitionist? In 1837 \u2014 26 years before Lincoln\u2019s Emancipation Proclamation \u2014 Baldwin advocated for voting rights for blacks.<\/p>\n<p>But two weeks ago, a mob determined Baldwin had to go.<\/p>\n<p>One statue I suspect is safe is the one in Baltimore of NFL head-hunter Ray Lewis performing his post-play blood dance.<\/p>\n<p>Blood? Lewis copped an obstruction of justice plea in an unsolved double-stabbing murder of two black men. The blood-soaked white suit Lewis was seen in that night went missing, and Lewis curiously paid a settlement to the families of the two slain men.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL would eventually hire him to push products. Roger Goodell embraced him on the field before a Super Bowl. ESPN hired him to try to talk football. A lifelong bachelor, he has six children from four women. American dream. I think his statue is pretty safe.<\/p>\n<p>Ray Lewis up, Teddy Roosevelt trending homeless.

On that day, halfway across the country, the Marge Schott story was finally escaping the invisible walls of Cincinnati.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhil Mushnick, the New York Post\u2019s entertaining and irreverent columnist who loves to expose the hypocrisy and idiocy in sports, had been following the Sabo case more than most out of town journalists, writing initial lawsuit allegations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Friday, Mushnick ran a chunk of excerpts from Marge\u2019s deposition in his column. \u2018Her defense \u2014 stupidity \u2014 would be admissible if only she were believed to be that stupid,\u2019 wrote Mushnick. \u2018It\u2019s incumbent upon all right-headed sports fans to note some of the [racist] dialogue from the suit\u2019s deposition hearing.\u2019\u2009\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MLB, at first unmoved, then suspended Schott for a year.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Rosenberg, a tough-talking coward. He claims my attacks on rap music are racist, when he knows that my attacks are on the vulgar, sexual degradation of women, love affairs with guns and regular references of black men as the N-word. World we live in. Complain about the use of the N-word and you\u2019re explained as a racist.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenberg must be in favor of such content, thus he ripped me. Fine. But he can\u2019t make me like antisocial, backward-pointed garbage, particularly the N-word. I was raised to consider it the worst of slurs.<\/p>\n<p>So I challenged him to read some rap lyrics on his ESPN sports show, the same place he staged his initial attack on me. He declined, proving both my point and the absence of even a flake of courage in his convictions. And that challenge, tough guy, remains.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Carton_return_would_be_gamble\"><\/span>Carton return would be gamble<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So let\u2019s say Craig Carton returns to WFAN.
