I sent an email to the commissioner pointing out the hypocrisy. What it really amounts to in my view is subtle racism. We can't expect those black players to live up to the standards we apparently set for some white conservative commentator. We can't accept politically incorrect speech from a white guy but felony convictions by the black players have to be accepted. Its really offensive to the players that don't commit crimes.

It also amazes me that we have to listen to Tawana Brawley Sharpton and Hymietown Jackson on this issue as well. Why they are granted any credibility has always mystified me. It will be a good day for America when we can grow beyond the paleo-civil rights crowd.

No one seems focused much on that side of the issue but that is the world we live in these days.
