Why is it always the black professional athletes end up in the news?

There have been plenty of white athletes in the news......even recently with Matt Jones the WR for Jacksonville, who has had many run ins with the law, mostly from drugs IIRC, but he has also done some really stoopid things the last few years.
Umm Ryan Tucker from the Browns has had his fair share....Roger Clemens is always in the news.

I could go on, but I am tired.

it took the NFL 9 weeks to do anything about him, and he served time for it before the season even started
but vick was thrown out of th eleague before he was convicted of anything,....

Probably because 90% of athletes are black. White actors/musicians are in the news relatively frequently for doing dumb stuff. Mainly centered around drugs.

AGREE!!! 100%//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Besides, for the small amount of white profesional athletes that are around, there still are a number that get arrested.

i would like to see the statistics but it seems like there are a lot of black athletes that come from the hood and we all know... you can take a brotha out the hood but you can't take the hood out of a brotha!

You are probably right, but being a dog lover, Vick got everything he deserved!

I hate Peyton anyway, so I would hope he got the same too.

Now if it was someone I liked, then fawk me, I would be pissed.
