    Sharpton Wants NFL Game Canceled
    AP
    Posted: 2008-03-19 20:43:55
    CANTON, Ohio (March 19) -- The Rev. Al Sharpton's organization plans to ask the NFL to cancel this summer's Hall of Fame game over allegations of police misconduct in the city.

    Richard Jones, who heads the local chapter of the National Action Network, founded by Sharpton, said the group is taking action because of police officers' "general aggressiveness and over-the-line attitude to the citizens of Canton, especially the black citizens."

    The Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins are scheduled to play in the Hall of Fame game Aug. 3 in Canton.

    Jones said he has sent information on police misconduct to NFL players Tank Johnson and Adam "Pacman" Jones, who have been punished by the league over their legal troubles.

    "Please hold Canton to the same standards you're held to," Jones said he asked the players.

    The group also will publish contact information for black NFL stars so they can be urged to put pressure on the league, Jones said.

    Adam Herman, spokesman for Mayor William J. Healy II, said the call for the NFL to cancel the game comes as a surprise. Herman said the mayor is committed to meeting with Jones.

    "We do not believe the cancellation of the Hall of Fame game is either likely or appropriate in this situation," Herman said Wednesday.

    NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Wednesday that the group has not contacted the league.

    One arrest the group is concerned about is the Dec. 4 arrest of Cortes Everett, 21, who is accused of carrying a loaded gun and having marijuana.

    Everett contends his pants were removed during a search. Safety Service Director Thomas Nesbitt said an internal affairs investigation, which includes video of the arrest, shows Everett's complaints are unfounded.

    Two officers were reprimanded for unprofessional conduct during the search, including using foul language, Herman said.

    So some redneck cops get out of line, possibly, and the ONE thing that will bring racial harmony to the area has to not go on as planned?
    Crap, they should cancel the season, then - and the Superbowl since it goes on everywhere.

      Sharpton should cancel his race baiting tactics. This one game and surrounding events probably make up 50% of the cities tourist revenue for the year.
      Sharpton is a broken fubar tool that couldn't work even with trash bags on it. Sorry for the industry jargon but it is true.

              THE MISCONDUCT WITH PAC MAN JONES? ARE YOU KIDDING???? This guy is addicted to strip clubs and problems....

              Sharpton would have a lot more credibility if he would stand up for wrong doings in all races....this guy wastes more time worried about the dumbest stuff just to get on TV.....

                        I feel reverend Sharpton should form a protest. I mean something really needs to be done about this situation.

                            What about that black cop in OHIO who just got convicted of killing his girlfriend who was 8 months pregnant? Didn't hear anything from him about that.

                            I heard the NFL has settled with him though. They are going to let him flip the coin and kick 3 white players in the nuts.

                                  We have free speech obviously so he and his ilk can say what they like. The problem occurs when people actually believe the garbage that spews from his hole.

                                    I just will never understand how people like that can fool themselves into believing that they are fighting for "equality". Their fighting spawns more hate than love and acceptance...and it's clear they want special treatment, not equality.

                                      The more this country is racially divided the better it is for people like them. What would they do if society was colorblind and got along?

                                        I feel that this whole race card that Sharpton and many other blacks play is more of a reason why there is still racism in the US today than some of us not willing to live in the 21st century.

                                        I hate when my relatives use the "n" word but at the same time I don't like the fact that blacks can call us crackers, whiteys, etc. and not be considered racist while if we say the "n" word we are automatically being racist.

                                          Exactly, so just say that. Don't pretend to want to bring people together. I have always said: If you want to be an asshole, fin...just own it. Don't be an asshole pretending to be a saint. Just come out and say: "Hey, I'm an asshole and I'm hear to make shit hit fans."

                                            I could go on and on about things that they are allowed to do that white folks can't.

                                              Based on what...?

                                              I'm African-American, Black, Brown, Negro, Jiggaboo, Junglebunny and all the other incredibly fascinating designations.

                                              I DON'T RECALL EVER SAYING THAT BIG BUTT WAS MY "LEADER".

                                              On the other hand...

                                              WHITE-CONTROLLED American Media (and now JJ) HAS designated him as a "leader".

                                              WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ????????????


                                              Dear Rednecks...PICK YOUR OWN DAMN LEADERS!

                                              Stop trying to shove big butt and all the other hand-picked flunkies down our throats...saying "leader"....

                                                  Sharpton thinks of himself as a leader. I'm not saying that every african-american believes that, just that he does.

                                                  I'm no redneck, baby....but I play one at karaoke.

                                                    I'm African-American, Black, Brown, Negro, Jiggaboo, Junglebunny and all the other incredibly fascinating designations.

                                                    I DON'T RECALL EVER SAYING THAT BIG BUTT WAS MY "LEADER".

                                                    On the other hand...

                                                    WHITE-CONTROLLED American Media (and now JJ) HAS designated him as a "leader".

                                                    WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ????????????


                                                    Dear Rednecks...PICK YOUR OWN DAMN LEADERS!

                                                    Stop trying to shove big butt and all the other hand-picked flunkies down our throats...saying "leader"....

                                                    They're not and HE AIN'T!
                                                    Let's get real here. While you don't consider him or others like him to be leaders there are many in the black community who do. If a black person has been a victim of violence or whatever who do you usually see, front and center, standing in front of the cameras? I didn't see them backing the white family of the girl that was murdered by the black Ohio cop, did you?

                                                    You didn't because that doesn't help their cause. I've never seen anyone on TV step in front of Jackson or Sharpton on camera and tell them to leave. Like it or not, Sharpton and Jackson fell that they are indeed leaders in the black community.

                                                    You don't consider them to be leaders because you're obviously someone who can think for themselves.

                                                      Sharpton isn't a black leader. If you want to get your azz kicked say to any black person that you know that you don't understand why Sharpton is their leader. Boy will they be mad.

                                                        Funny how they don't want to kick his azz for proclaiming himself a leader.

                                                          How come they get TWO TV channels? BET and Cops? Answer me that?

                                                          They also get their own sport. National black people playing Basketball Association.

                                                          And they get their own poker show. Black celebrities play high stakes poker (or something like that).

                                                          Can you imagine the protests if there was a White People Only Tv channel? Or a Crackers playing poker (blacks not allowed) show. LOL Or a White Dudes Playing XXXX...Oh we already do have that sport, it is called Golf.

                                                          Of, if they made a movie to counter "White Men Can't Jump" called "Black Folks Can't Do Physics"?

                                                          The reverse discrimination is really hurting my Cracker feelings.

                                                                Isn't the science channel a whites only show?

                                                                I have taught at the university level and I can tell you that giving scholarships based on skin color instead of merit does a huge disservice to the recipient of the scholarship. I had students who were failing out of the university because they simply were not academically capable of doing the work. These students would have done well at a different type of school, but never got the chance to find out because they were thrust into an academic environment that they had no chance in and failed out of school. And I doubt that they will ever go to the kind of school they could have succeeded in because their self confidence has been so damaged by failing out of the "good". Now, if there was truly a disparity in admissions of students who qualified on MERIT, then it might be okay to correct that by using such scholarships, but that isn't how it works. If you qualify for a "minority" scholarship you don't have to prove merit.
