Did race divide around Russell Wilson play into Percy Harvin trade?

 

 

There are several theories behind the stunning trade of Percy Harvin to the Jets.

 

One new one is his relationship — or in this case, lack thereof — with quarterback Russell Wilson. A story from Bleacher Report portrays a locker room increasingly divided over Wilson and raises the possibility of racial tension among the Seahawks.

 

The report, citing an anonymous player, said Harvin had “increasing animosity” toward Wilson and was leading a faction of the team that was beginning to dislike the young Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

 

The report, citing multiple interviews with Seahawks players, says some of the African-Americans on the team feel the multiracial Wilson “isn’t black enough.”

 

Furthermore, there is the belief within the Seahawks that Wilson isn’t accountable for his own mistakes, often blaming teammates for poor throws.

Yeah, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about how none of this was ever reported on when Harvin was in Seattle but the second he's gone it seems like the spin machine goes into overdrive and there's a million problems with the guy. 

 

If any of this is true how bad is the local Seattle press at their job, not to mention ESPN NFL "insider" John Clayton, who lives in Seattle?

Can't really explain that from a reporting perspective other than the fact some news outlets will simply not report on this type of racial bullsh*t and others will because as soon as you bring something this this up you WILL be considered a Racist. Keep in mind Harvin was traded from the Seahawks for many reasons, some out in the open, some hidden from view, that's when reporters like this start to dig. If Seattle does a good job of keeping their dirty laundry in their own house and this really was a shock then the issues will start to come out when people start to question why a 60 Million dollar player was traded for a 4th to a 6th round pick

Maybe you need to start understanding that the main reason he was traded for a 4th to 6th round pick was that based on his ON FIELD production, he was no where near a 60-million-dollar player, kind of like your boy Chad Pennington wasn't close to being a 64-million-dollar player.

you seriously didn't just bring a Chad Pennington argument into this ? just stop with that bullsh*t/

 

 And if its about Percey Harvin's on field performance vs totally disrupting a locker room and not wanting to go into the game when asked I think I would side with the locker room and refusal to play and maybe that's why he was not getting the touches in games he felt he deserved.  When a player disrupts a team to the levels we are now finding out about Harvin, how much effort do you think the guy put into learning the offense and honing his rout running abilities that he;s been criticized for in the past ?

I used Pennington as an obvious example of a player not playing up to his contract. I think we can all agree on that. What is so controversial about that to you?

 

And you are buying the Seahawk spin because you want to. Because it plays into some preconceived notion you obviously have of Percy Harvin. You're not thinking logically and realizing the truth probably lies somewhere in between. If Harvin were remotely as big a locker room cancer as is being claimed, no way the Jets pull the trigger on this deal.
