Nice broad brush Hawk.......There are plenty of folks with dreadlocks not acting the fool. As for Compton, my wife has a cousin on the police force there and an Uncle who owns a business there. As for myself, when I moved down to High School coaching most of the High Schools the I taught and Coached at were over 90% minority students. We did not tolerate the behavior that I see SOME players for the Seahawks and of course other players in the NFL exhibit. Class cuts across racial lines. BTW, being a thug and sometimes crossing that line and acting like one are two different things.....and I still think that the Seahawks will win in a very close game
Without being accused of profiling, I don't think too many of those hockey goons are from Compton or wore dreadlocks. Like I said, stupid knows no color.
That said, I feel it's safe to say everyone of us have said something or did something we'd like a mulligan on. Pros just mess up usually where all can see or know.
I think people accusing people of being racist is quickly becoming a close second to actual racism as the biggest problem with race relations.
I don't think Sherman was a P.O.S. for what he did last night. But, I definitely didn't like it. And, I would have felt the exact same way if he was white with a crew cut.
Didn't Seattle try to have a Mardi Gras one year and it turned into a riot?

As far as that Seahawk players post game rant, I thought it was classless. It reminded me of pro wrestling.
And yet he is still less vilified than a cornerback who in the heat of the moment acted the fool. What am I looking for...oh yeah...white privilege. Manziel can be a punk, act the fool, and still be everyone's white knight...while this dreadlocked pickaninny is an animal, a thug, and a classless, unsportsmanlike fool who should know his place. Am I right?
