2590478, Jerry Rice WTF....The How the Mighty Have Fallen Thread
Posted by Beamer6178, Thu Jan-19-17 10:05 AM
This one hurts. This dude was the REASON I started ever caring about the 49ers and have never left. Football in general. Is he broke like that???

https://www.yahoo.com/news/jerry-rice-wearing-popeyes-chicken-232338803.html



this is a mausoleum for other such depressing stories about sports heroes. not TRAGIC per se, but pathetic. and while most of us do not know these people in "real life," who could have EVER pictured Jerry Rice hawking chicken with wing helmet??

2590482, lmao that helmet look like something out of a chappelle show skit
Posted by Cenario, Thu Jan-19-17 10:16 AM
wtf.
2590488, I tried to defend him for the all lives matter shit but fuck him now lol
Posted by ThaTruth, Thu Jan-19-17 10:21 AM
2590489, Can we blame CTE for this?
Posted by Numba_33, Thu Jan-19-17 10:23 AM
Probably not. I hope those checks are heavy enough to ward off all the shame these adverts have given the great Jerry Rice.

I wonder what in the world was going through his head as he was toying around with all those props.

I haven't watched the spots yet; is he the only black dude in these commercial spots?
2590491, the helmet...wow

2590512, It was goofy but I didn't see anything problematic
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Thu Jan-19-17 10:47 AM
He wasn't shucking and jiving or acting like a stereotypical fool. The commercial would have looked exactly the same if the had Joe Jurevicius out there.

It's like black people can't sell chicken at all. People said the Popeyes lady is problematic. Mary J Blige got heat for pushing Burger King chicken wraps
2590513, dude, he had on a helmet with a spinning chicken leg.

2590517, Like I said, goofy
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Thu Jan-19-17 10:51 AM
It would be just as goofy with anybody out there. Jerry Rice just happens to be their spokesman
2590522, Fam, he made the Undercover Brother commercial look tame

If Jerry doing that Popeyes commercial led to all of us seeing this again, I'll pardon it. Undercover Brother...it's been so long!
2590555, welll i agree, i don't know how that's a defense for jerry? lol
Posted by Cenario, Thu Jan-19-17 12:11 PM
if anyone did something dumb and that made them look silly, they would deserve to get clowned for it.
2590519, it really is THAT simple

2590556, lol right.

i saw the picture first...then when i saw the video and it spun..lmao cmon.
2590515, Question
Posted by Numba_33, Thu Jan-19-17 10:50 AM
Will the black folk that are angry with Jerry Rice looking like a fool in this advert give up eating at Popeye's?

2590560, LMMFAO @ that helmet. hahahaha...I just can't
Posted by auragin_boi, Thu Jan-19-17 12:19 PM
man...who thought this would be a good idea?

While I don't get into the identity politics like that...this just "seems" like it's not a good look. But I'll be damned if it ain't hilarious.
2590569, i guess the antebellum braids were the harbinger to what he's become

2590613, How fucking ignorant can nonPOC be about this shit?
Posted by select_from_where, Thu Jan-19-17 03:22 PM
these comments:

Only white people should be on commercials for fried chicken... Then no one would worry about it being racist..


Really, only a racist sees it that way. I see the commercial as dam funny.

this is why it is time to stop caring about what offends blacks......they will find a way to be offended by anything who cares let them be offended and ignore them
2590619, I'm not offended and i don't even consider it a race thing
Posted by Cenario, Thu Jan-19-17 03:49 PM
i just think he looks like a damn fool with a spinning piece of chicken on his helmet.

I'd feel the same way if it was a red lobster commercial with a piece of talapia on the helmet or olive garden and lettuce. The fact that its fried chicken is an extra layer i suppose but he'd still look dumb without it.
2590629, Lmao agreed
Posted by cgonz00cc, Thu Jan-19-17 04:25 PM
The national scope of the campaign narrowly makes it a smidge better than standing outside of a used car lot dressed as uncle sam or some shit
2590627, even the way he caught the fucking football...
Posted by Beamer6178, Thu Jan-19-17 04:20 PM
his after catch pose looked so unlike someone who has ever played a sport. all he needed was some gotdamn mom jeans to complete the set.

2590631, even Annie was shocked by that shit

2590825, that commercial is just a refection of the environment he grew up in
Posted by Basaglia, Fri Jan-20-17 07:27 PM

i'll care about a nigga eatin a fuckin piece of chicken on TV when niggas start caring about ignant ass rappers who got money and STILL talmbout killing muhfuckas and STILL doing dumb incredible harmful shit to their communities...not no shit that can be interpreted as harmful, i mean DIRECTLY harmful.

niggas backwards as fuck. damn if i let a fuckin prison-smart as nigga like T.I. be more authentically black than a nigga who grew up catching some GOTdamn BRICKS working with his FUCKING FATHER to keep a lil money in his pocket.

anybody hatin on jerry can eat all the dicks. ALL THE DICKS.

damn, niggas backwards.

Doesn't have to be one or the other, but you are welcome to your perspective. There is truth in all aspects of this.
