I have little respect for professional athletes regardless of their color. Especially stupid bastards that hold up people at gunpoint. People who threaten to kill people for their Rolex are slugs and deserve to be called out for what they did, not what race they are. That is what I did, and I stand by it.
I do understand that there are athletes who are model students, honorable people and good citizens. My post does not address them.
From middle school, many excellent athletes, white or black, are treated differently than the other children. They are held to much lower standards in academics and social development. They are forgiven for things that would get non-athletes expelled. These kids learn from an early age that they are special. Some of them later become armed robbers who escape in a Lamborghinis. So yes, star athletes are pampered from an early age. I know this and I suspect that you do too.
I worked at a major university and got to know a lot of the seed stock for the NFL and for the most part I found them to be, for the most part, spoiled rotten children in oversize bodies and with underdeveloped minds and over-aggressive personalities. The were routinely forgiven for stealing, skipping classes, cheating in class, fighting and many times forgiven for mistreating women. I personally know of one graduate student teacher who was strong-armed by university staff for failing two star athletes for getting caught cheating on tests twice! She refused to pass the students, so it was done over her head, and behind her back.....The lesson was, that since you are a star athlete, cheating is OK.
Big college football programs hire people to run behind the athletes cleaning up the messes that they make and the problems that the cause. The armed robbers will now have to pay for the attorneys that will attempt to protect them from their crimes, maybe it will be a good life lesson. I hope the guys lose their jobs, and their freedom.
So, to sum up, you can take your racial attack on me to someone who gives a damn.
