Barry Switzer: 'I've always said I'd never recruit a white quarterback'

[BLUE 1,026]

Wait, what????

 

“I’ve always said I’d never recruit a white quarterback. The only way I’d ever recruit a white quarterback to play for me was if his mom and daddy would have to both be black, and that’s the only way I would do it. My offense is a quarterback-fullback offense,I’d have to have a Jamelle Holieway, J.C. Watts [or] Thomas Lott. Those guys are gonna be my quarterbacks, they’re great runners, they’re great ball carriers and … able to pass, complete some, and those guys could. Those guys could throw and run.”

I thought you got tricked by The Onion for a second. >_>

This is just bizarre.

That's not how being white works.

Johnny Manziel seems to fit that bill and he doesn't look very black to me.
