I would definitely go Smith or Maclin. Britt is a head case who could carry you or destroy your squad with one weekend at the strip joint. Why trust a ghetto nut like him for your dynasty team? It's a recipe for disaster as this season showed. You don't have him in the lineup and he blows up. He put him in and he does nothing.
"African American ghettos:
Urban areas in the U.S. can often be classified as "black" or "white", with the inhabitants primarily belonging to a homogenous racial grouping.[10] Forty years after the African-American civil rights era (1955–1968), most of the United States remains a residentially segregated society in which blacks and whites inhabit different neighborhoods. Due to poverty and crime, black neighborhoods in the United States are known as "ghettos"."
Your reading comprehension needs some work. I never said anything about "black" ghettos. I mentioned Kenny Britt as being a "ghetto" nut himself. It has nothing to do with where anyone is from. It's called slang. Maybe you heard of it. And if you think Kenny Britt isn't "ghetto" then you have no clue to the type of person he is and your rankings will be incorrect if you don't take into account the type of person a player is. Ask the Cincy Bengals about that and their drafting luck.
Thanks for the insult. But I read at an 8th grade level in 4th, when I was placed in advanced classes - I can read.Define ghetto. What makes a person ghetto? Ghetto is now a word used to associate the ills that American Ghettos (Black and Latino) produce with black or Hispanic people, regardless of where they are from. Example: your very statement. Kenny Britt didn't live in a ghetto, doesn't currently live in a ghetto, wasn't born in a ghetto so what makes him ghetto? What does Britt have in common with a ghetto, other than his skin color?
What predominantly white ghettos are there in today's America? You don't have to use the work black or African American to insinuate anything. We all know that ghetto refers to poor, inner city areas, which - today - are predominantly black and Latino.
Not only are you insulting Britt, you are insulting those that grow up in the condition you call a ghetto. Calling a person ghetto suggests that the people that live in these areas are responsible for the crime and poverty, instead of a result of it. Poverty breeds ignorance and crime, regardless of race. A simple understanding of American History, or a simple Google search, will show you that.
If you want to take it a step further, the people living in these areas - history and a simple a Google search will show you - have never had anything, let alone examples of success, outside of rare, isolated instances. As recently as the 60s (still going on, just not via legal restrictions (no laws preventing it)) people of African American decent had very little offered to them by America, including affluent neighborhoods. So, the people that live in said ghettos were placed there, not by themselves, but by their parents and grandparents, who had no other options at the time.
Your statement was very ignorant and, to me, offensive. That has nothing to do with football, or my rankings. But, since you pointed it out, a good amount of the African Americans in the NFL today, came from what is commonly known as a ghetto - most of them smart, upstanding, hard working men. So, I don't think anyone could field a competitive team without "ghetto" players, as you call Britt.
Inner City Miami = poor, dangerous area = "ghetto" = the majority of black Miami University football players = one of, if not the best schools, in terms of producing NFL talent. So your theory is simply wrong - wrong and offensive.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not trying to go off-topic and am done after this post - back to the best thread on the forum, and the coversations that make it so.
