That was a great story by Conz within an even greater article about that Clint Eastwood baseball movie.

I think Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf not standing for the National Anthem was a bigger "troll" in that first he refused to stand, got suspeneded came back and stood but just didn't acknowledge the flag which made people angrier, then he started praying during the anthem which really set people into a rage.

John Rocker made bigoted comments which athletes still do except the apology or statement is usually the next day or two and it's somewhat forgotten. I hate to call this a double standard because it obviously goes much deeper than that, but to a degree John was a victim of that racial pass minorities get for making racial slurs or comments.

I seriously thought about that comment before pressing reply knowing the cons far outweigh the pros, I really wouldn't have much defense for it.............and pulled the trigger anyway.:troll:

Look, for every Rocker, Don Imus, ESPN personality that says "chink in the armor" and are punished swiftly there are guys of minority background that make the same exact comments or tweets and are not targeted. It happens, just like every black athlete that gets a DUI will headline Sportcenter there are probably some white pros that get DUIs an fly under the radar.
