"I am every concerned about the mental health & welface of Jemele Hill & Ryan Clark," Carton said. "I don't want them to get too upset that Sam Darnold got invited to Disney World along with Kenneth Walker, the MVP of Super Bowl LX.

 

 

"And I know the mere sight of having a white player in that teacup with the MVP, who happens to be black, is enough to set them off and down a very bad path. So I'm hoping that we could do a wellness check on the two biggest race baiterse in America to make sure they're OK, that they're not upset that Kenneth Walker had to share the teacup ride with his white quarterback."

 

 

In the Super Bowl clash against the Patriots, Sam Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown. On the other hand, Kenneth Walker had 135 rushing yards on 27 carries.
