Peyton Manning and the Progressive Media Hate Brigade

Shortly after Super Bowl 50 ended with a humiliating defeat for the heavily-favored Carolina Panthers, led by quarterback Cam Newton, Newton and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning shook hands on the field and exchanged greetings and comments, with Manning (who has suffered his own humiliating losses in previous Super Bowls) offering encouragement, then each went his own way. Unfortunately for Newton, he later would have an infamous press conference in which he showed up wearing a “hoodie,” mumbled some answers to questions, and then would walk out after three minutes, leaving the press astonished.

Not surprisingly, the sports media jumped on this – as they would with any other quarterback who had walked out of a similar situation – as Newton, this year’s NFL Most Valuable Player for the regular season, had to eat the same humble pie that Manning ate after the Seattle Seahawks blew out the Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVII. (Manning did not leave his post-game press conferences after his Super Bowl losses, although one figures he would rather not have shown up at all.) While much of the press lambasted Newton for his less-than-stellar post-game performance, Peyton Manning’s father, Archie, himself a legendary quarterback in college and in the pros, defended Newton, saying he fully understood how Newton felt after such a defeat.

PEYTON MANNING AND THE PROGRESSIVE MEDIA HATE BRIGADE

Not surprisingly, the sports media jumped on this – as they would with any other quarterback who had walked out of a similar situation – as Newton, this year’s NFL Most Valuable Player for the regular season, had to eat the same humble pie that Manning ate after the Seattle Seahawks blew out the Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVII.

In normal situations, the bad press for Newton would have stopped soon, Manning would have had a quiet time before announcing his inevitable retirement, and Newton would be preparing for the next season. However, in this politically-and-racially-charged society, that would not be the case, as a number of black journalists, furious that Manning’s Broncos won the game, decided to go on the attack against Manning.

First came Shaun King of the New York Daily News, who noted the morning after the game that Manning walked off the field after a 2010 Super Bowl loss to New Orleans – when Manning still quarterbacked the Indianapolis Colts. Others chimed in. Manning did not get bad press (actually, he did, and he apologized at his press conference for walking off), so that means that Manning is favored by the press because he is white. Newton, on the other hand, got bad press because he is black. There you have it: Peyton Manning = White Privilege.
