'Justin Fields reacts to Patrick Mahomes’ claims of double standard against Black QBs'
Last month, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked about the reported ‘streetball’ criticism from an anonymous defensive coordinator. Mahomes would not go far enough to say that it’s inherent racism, but did point to how challenging it has been for black players to play quarterback in the NFL. On Sunday, Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields sat down with ESPN and was asked his thoughts on the subject.
Fields immediately went to a personal anecdote relating to the subject.
For our 2022 NFC North preview, listen below:
“To be honest, my dad since I was a young age, maybe middle school, he told me ‘you are going to have to be better than the white quarterbacks’. I don’t know why it is like that. The reality is that’s what it is… All we have to do is continue to ball out and prove others wrong,” Fields said.
