Thanks for the link!

Really enjoyed that piece. And it is truly a testament to how far we've come as I did not once consider the fact that Kaepernick was black.

Yeah, I mean, I don't notice any player's race unless it's a white guy at RB or CB - and that's just because it's out of the ordinary; I don't automatically assume that a dude can't play corner b/c he's white any more than I would that a black guy can't play QB. And honestly, I couldn't fathom that concept back when Doug was battling that perception. I guess I was just raised better than that.

Me and my buddy meeting Doug in Orlando at his book signing. Was a super classy guy. I asked him which team he would root for, the Bucs or the Skins, and he said Bucs. Only because at that time, they were paying his bills. Hope that has changed since then
