[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 105093, member: 196"] This has nothing to do with special rules and excuses -- I am in the Ahmad Carroll thread and not the Koren Robinson thread aren't I? :wink: This is simply a writer (not a very good one IMO) offering an opinion . Carroll has never complained about Green Bay, but many players (especially African American, but others too) have talked about the culture shock of coming to Green Bay -- this is not a complaint or an excuse for anything, rather a very real experience. That is not a slam on the city of Green Bay, it is a great little (relatively) community. But face it for Packer players one of the (many) culture shocks is playing in a fish bowl regardless of color, than multiplied if you are African American and multiplied again if you are an African American from a large urban city that is predominately black. FYI: In case it missed you attention the % of African Americans living in Green Bay is 1.38%, whereas the racial makeup of the Atlanta is 61.39% Black. Note: these are just facts, not excuses, not judgements, simply facts. [/QUOTE]
