WashingtonFederals Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 George Preston Marshall gets Mitchell in a trade... At the first team meal, Marshall asks the team to sing "Dixie"... The team begins to sing, and then Marshal looks right at Bobby and yells "BOBBY MITCHELL, SING"!!! Bobby is so scared, he just moves his jaw around, and pretends... Classic...

Bang Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 An avowed racist, the last man to integrate his team in the NFL, forces his new black player to sing the National Anthem of the Confederacy.

Jimbo Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I kinda get the one piece of humor in it. Bobby just moving his mouth but the words belong to others. It's a LOT like Vinny Cerrato when Danny talks. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent idea. I'd vote for canning this one and starting a thread about Jackson instead. And maybe a NNT to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsMaster88 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Some background for those who don't know about Marshall: "According to professor Charles Ross, "For 24 years Marshall was identified as the leading racist in the NFL".[1] Though the league had previously had a sprinkling of black players, just one year after Marshall entered the NFL, blacks were excluded from all its teams. While the rest of the league began signing individual blacks in 1946 and actually drafting blacks in 1949, Marshall held out until 1962 before signing a black player. That only came when Interior Secretary Stewart Udall issued an ultimatum--unless Marshall signed a black player, the government would revoke the Redskins' 30-year lease on the year-old D.C. Stadium (now RFK Stadium), which had been paid for by government money." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Interesting bit about George Preston Marshall from Shirley Povich: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/redskins/longterm/book/pages/16.htm Bobby Mitchell and the rights to Leroy Jackson, Cleveland's second first round pick in 1962 (WR Gary Collins was the first), were traded to Washington for Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis after Davis, referring to Marshall, said "I won't play for that S.O.B." Cleveland coach Paul Brown envisioned an all-star backfield of Jim Brown and Ernie Davis but Davis developed leukemia and died in May of 1963, having never played a down for the Browns.
