I read the Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison when I was a teen, it was eye opening.
To me the book explained many situations in which people reacted to me not based on me, but based on their projections, I was invisible to them, they just saw black, male, and young.
Sadly, this happens to many black people to various degrees.

I am sure this happens but Smith fell based upon what people actually saw. Watch the Syracuse Bowl game and you will wonder how he was drafted at all.
If you give him all day in the pocket and the fastest guy on the field he will hit him. That isn't the NFL.

I will not argue if Smith will be a good quarter back in the NFL, I am not qualified. If someone critiques his play fine, the critique referenced in the article had nothing to do with his play.

It pretty much had nothing to do with anything. The only reason the article was wrote was because Smith was over rated and someone is ticked that he was judged on his play.
Again,Smith didn't face half the scrutiny of Matt Barkley. Smith's problem is that if you never heard the guy speak,no way would you want him leading an NFL team.
Are you sure about that? Peyton Hillis, Toby Gearhart and Julian Edelman are thriving to some degree as NFL RBs.

I'll comment as I always have - if Asian players gravitated to football in large numbers they'd be playing in the NFL in large numbers. I know there are only about three or four Asians in the league right now, such as Haruki Nakamura, Chris Gocong, Eugene Amano, and Ed Wang.
There are plenty of Samoans and Tongans (who are partially Asian) in the NFL.
I see. You're trying to be funny.
However, when the NHL is the topic and someone says that black players don't gravitate to hockey:

No, this is dishonest as it pertains to the article. The critique directly quoted in the article had nothing to do with Mr. Smith's play.
