Jason Whitlock nails it again. His comments are dead on. I am no sports fan at all. Too much drug dealing, vulgarity, womanizing, and general violence, and thats just the way most of them treat their mothers and sisters. I am a huge fan of Jason Whitlock a black man who tells it like it is. Without fear he gets right into the true problem. This behavior is so common among overpaid sports figures. I call them cry babies. This behavior is also common among black rappers and music producers. And it is getting worse everyday. The general feeling that sudden wealth gives you the right to break all the laws. This type of behavior and lifestyle must be stopped.

Uh, except Whitlock was making the case that no matter how clean a black athlete is, he is going to be a target.
You’re taking something from his article which isn’t really there. You’re in a ‘blame the victim’ mindset because you honestly think all of these guys are criminals.
Meanwhile, a drugged up and drunk St Louis pitcher kills only himself (by good fortune) and there isn’t the same character assassination. ONly a plea for baseball to stop having beer in the clubhouse. Nothing about that man’s choices endangering himself and others.
Honestly, it’s like you didn’t even read the article. Taylor and his family are the victims here. And there more than a fair share on this forum that would have tried to recover stolen property if they knew who did it. That’s where Whitlock went wrong in his article. While making a larger point, he still found it necessary to compare TAylor to the likes of Pac-Man Jones and others.
