It's not our fault that we get caught up in this stuff because it pisses us off. I'm lookin' for the revolution my damn self.

It was a turn -off because before that the league and networks knew that the concentration of the players in the biggest game of their lives was more important and usually did not show fade to a commerical until at least 6 minutes (or a touchdown/big play)into the game so there was at least a flow to the action. Today it's a t.v. break every damn exchange and now you have althletes playing to the cameras and sponsors and in every sport not just football. And the white sports media with it's petty jealousies and revenge antics (Roberto Alaomar's snub for the BHOF) is the the final straw with Jay Marrioti bragging about his no vote but making 38 million African- Americans responsible for 10% of Black Althletes getting into trouble and it's lynch mob mentality. Black Sportwriters are just as bad from Stephan A. Smith's 'black guilt' article that the "Black Community" is responsible for Arena's actions, last time I heard Gilbert was 28 y.o. and was an adult so it's his fuckup and unless Smith, Jemele Hill, Micheal Wilbon and Kevin Blackistone are going to protest the actions of Madison Avenue their fellow sportswriters and the dope dealers on the street with their feet and mouths they really should just stick to writing sports. And tell me why is Al Shaprton meddling his ass into the Arenas debacle, when there is 50% black unemployment and there is a depression going on many parts of Black America that rivals the depression of the 1930's Black Leadership to make an example of a player who clearly excercised bad judgment and was immature afterwards, just shows you how the prioities of African- American leadership, they would rather lynch Gilbert Arenas than deal with the real world issues jobs, housing and food the responsiblity of the Biracial Presdient they helped elect two years ago, but is ignoring their cries of assitance but don't the Obama family look good. Like suspending Arenas for life is going to stop some kid in the projects or some dope dealers/criminals from getting a gun and using it to hurt, maim or kill. If you read Christine Brennan's racially patronizing article in USA today you would have sworn that Arena's and the Wizards flippant pregame attitude towards his troubles was the end of the world and only by suspending those black players would crime in D.C. and everywhere drop and would 'send of message' to quit acting like thugs. HOW STUPID AND PATHEIC !!!
