Too much explaining.

Anyone who even knows who she is can verify that she's one if if not the most inept reporter on NFL network. This has nothing to do with her race, and while we're on it, her sex.
She is just not a good NFL reporter, and I find it hilarious that she even gets to make an 'expert analyst' type pick.

I have a funny last name too. You can probably tell I am not a white guy just from my last name, it stands out. I went through grade school with teachers always commenting my last name is funny during roll call and they would smirk or laugh about it. It's not funny to me, why does my last name even matter to them. When I was looking for a job I always wondered if I had a different last name would the application be placed at a higher standard if I had a typical American name.
I think a lot of minorities have this problem in real life, it's a real issue, don't pretend it doesn't exist. So please be respectful next time.
