Chris Rock put it best: "I love niggers but I hate niggas". Yes that is how I open a dialogue about what is happening in the NFL at the moment. I am literally befuddled by what is happening with professional athletes in the bundles. Ha, I used the term befuddled.... I'm not shocked, and appalled and up in arms like the media would have you be. This shit aint nothing new. Niggas been beatin bitches for decades. However in the 80's and early 90's nobody had an Iphone. So if you want to blame anyone for this rash of domestic abuse cases; blame technology, Steve Jobs, TMZ and social media as a whole. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning any of the actions of these abnormally talented individuals. However, if TMZ was around when Magic was banging broads on the road and contracting HIV you think we wouldn't have known about it long before he made the "Announcement"? Iron Mike was knocking female heads way before he was actually convicted. Warren Moon was accused of domestic violence back in the day, you proly dont know about that one because that was when social media was still a twinkle in Sodourberg's eye. Billy D Williams allegedly (and was convicted) beat women. Now the media is like a pit-bull on a fresh piece of meat with these 'new' findings of domestic violence. Niggas been hiding in plain site, yall just caught on.
I'm just kidding (am I?) but now is a time to really evaluate professional athletes and to be perfectly blunt, how it effects the civilians that are in their 'circle'. How did we get here? The best way to begin this discussion is to first bring up Gonzalez from NE. Really, you kill two people and have guns in your house! I guess he watched too many OJ case files (if the gun don't fit, you must acquit). This brings me to the heart of what I am talking about. ATHLETES BELIEVE THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW. I believe there is a veritable correlation between income and self entitlement. So these kids come out of college and get millions thrown at them and believe they are actually as good as their paycheck says they are. So in their eyes they honestly believe "the world is theirs".
That takes me to another point. You motherfuckers aint shit compared to your forefathers! What happened to humility? I will give Peterson a pass because what he is accused of is how I was brought up, but the rest of you mediocre sub-prime players, where the fuck do you come off??? Gettin DUI's, fighting in the club, slapping your baby momma, failing drug tests, etc. who the fuck are you to taint the irreproachable brand what we so respectively call the NFL. Do me a favor, pass me your talent so I can fuck it up and get my 5 minutes of fame before I ruin it by punching an infant, then my girlfriend, and then pushing my grandma down a flight of stairs while I make it rain at an AA meeting.
