Sorry Gentlemen....There was a better to get that point across without mentioning his skin color and we all know that. Ryan should have stuck with the football being dark on a dark day with the dark uniform, plus the way Jackson handles the football would have made his point without being offensive IMHO.

I guess what some of us don't understand is...why is it offensive? Why is it offensive to point out that there are different shades on the spectrum when it comes to human skin? How many times have I seen a white guy at the beach called "nurse" because of his lily white skin. Or "you've got a farmer's tan."

If it was "the only reason he's successful is because of this" then I could see the offense. But he didn't say that.
