But I also don't think it's fair to use race as a scapegoat if that is the true issue. If Philly fans are getting under his skin, then he needs to deal with that issue and not blame it on anything else. When people attribute things to race that shouldn't be, it makes other legitimate claims of racism not seem as strong. Haha, I just notice that I am writing this all as a Vitamin Water ad featuring Donovan McNabb is right under this comment. No, he can’t say that his fans suck.

Not only in the quarterback realm, but in general. With that said, McNabb is a QB. They get crap period. There have plenty of white quarterbacks who have gotten killed in their local papers & stadiums. Plus he's in fickle Philly, who have only never booed Dr. J and AI. So yes he's prickly with good reason, but he can't say his city's fans suck, can he? I think there is truth to the statements McNabb has been making.
