Alright, let’s talk about this C.J. Stroud fella, the quarterback for the Texans. Folks keep jabberin’ about his “ethnicity” and all that, but to me, it’s simple. He’s a football player, a good one at that, and that’s what matters. But I guess some folks like to dig deeper, so let’s dig, shall we?
C.J. Stroud, The Football Player
Now, this boy, C.J., he throws that football like nobody’s business. Seen him on the TV, makin’ those plays. He’s got that arm, you know? The kind that makes the ball go zip, zoom, right where it needs to be. And he’s got the head on his shoulders too, seems like a smart fella. They say he’s leadin’ the Texans, and from what I see, he’s doin’ a darn good job of it. Won them a playoff game, they did. That’s somethin’ to be proud of, no matter where you come from or who your folks are.
His Family and Upbringin’
Heard tell his mama, Kimberly, is somethin’ else. A strong woman, they say. Had to be, with what happened to his daddy. Seems his daddy, Coleridge Bernard Stroud the Third, got himself into some trouble. Ended up in jail, from what I hear. Kidnappin’, robbin’, all sorts of bad business. That ain’t right, no sir. But from what I gather, young C.J., he didn’t let that bring him down. His mama, she raised him right, taught him to be strong, to make good choices. That’s the important thing, ain’t it? Not what your daddy did, but what you do.
- Mama Kimberly: A strong lady, raised C.J. right.
- Daddy Coleridge: Got into trouble, went to jail.
- C.J.: Didn’t let it break him, became a good football player.
About That “Ethnicity” Thing
Now, folks keep talkin’ about his mama’s “race” and his “ethnicity.” Honestly, I don’t pay much mind to that stuff. Folks are folks, far as I’m concerned. But I guess some people like to put folks in boxes, label ‘em this and that. From what I hear, his mama’s story is about bein’ strong, overcoming things. And that’s somethin’ we can all understand, no matter what color our skin is. It ain’t about where you come from, it’s about who you are, how you treat people, and what you do with your life. C.J., he seems to be a good young man, and that’s all that matters to me.
Football and Faith
And then there’s this talk about his faith. They say he’s a religious fella. Well, good for him. Having somethin’ to believe in, that’s important. Helps you stay on the right path, you know? They say it makes him a better leader on the field. Maybe it does, maybe it don’t. But if it helps him, and it helps his team, then that’s just fine by me.
Focusin’ on What Matters
So, all this talk about “ethnicity” and his daddy’s troubles, it’s just noise, far as I’m concerned. What matters is that C.J. Stroud is a good football player, a good leader, and seems like a good young man. He’s out there on the field, doin’ his best, makin’ his mama proud. And that’s somethin’ we can all respect, no matter where we come from or what our story is. He’s got the whole town talkin’, not about his background, but about how he’s playin’. And that’s how it should be.
In the End…
So there you have it. C.J. Stroud, the quarterback. A good player, comes from a strong mama, and doesn’t let his daddy’s troubles define him. That’s all you need to know, really. The rest of it, that’s just gossip, far as I’m concerned. Let’s just watch the boy play football, and be proud he’s doin’ somethin’ good with his life.
One more thing, some folks like to make a fuss about things that don’t matter. C.J. Stroud, he’s showin’ ‘em what does matter: hard work, dedication, and treatin’ folks right. And that’s the kinda thing I can get behind.
