Let's face it. The Media looooooooooves Tyler Hansbrough. And why shouldn't they. 23 points a game. 10 rebounds a game. 4 offensive rebounds a game. Draws a lot of chargers. National Player of the Year(pretty much all of them). But some say he gets all this treatment because he's white and if say.......Beasley was white he'd be National Player of the Year and the Media would love him.

 

Jake Long is a 6-7 300 pound beast. He's the best offensive linemen in Michigan history. One of the best in Big Ten11 history. Jake Long has been getting a lot of attention on NFL.com draft section. He has around 7-8 videos about him. I think it's because he's the best OT in the draft. Some say it's cause he's white. And lets say uh........a certain one of these guys isn't because he's black.(can you guess which one it is)

Chris Long is a monster, soldier, a whole army. But he's getting loads of attention that some say..............Vernon Gholston might deserve.

 

Tebow wins the heisman. McFadden doesn't. One annoncer describes him as "a guy you'd want to marry your daughter."

 

Here are some responses I've gotten.

 

Yes, sadly in this day and age it is true I mean consider how Barry Bonds has been treated in the steroids affair and how Roger Clemens is being treated. Seriously, Clemens had some on field issues i.e. throwing the bat at Piazza which you can't say of Bonds. Another example is when Ben Roethelsberger got hurt riding a motorcycle as did Kellen Winslow how was that handled? There are several are many examples of similar behavior being treated much differently. Too much to mention here maybe if I was getting a degree in sociology or communications I might have good subject matter for a dissertation. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
```````````````` Yes they do, The media is waiting for a black players to screw up, act stupid, or join the slappaho tribe. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````` Of course they are. Tyler Hansborough get all this attention not just because he is good but because he is good and white. Not to many talented white players coming out of college, when there is one than of course he is going to draw attention. Same for football especially when it's not the QB position. I think since there isn't a lot coming out it's more impressive to the media when one does have the talent. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````` Yea, hust look at the Leinhart story. It's treated as a boys will be boys. If he was black it would be viewed as a...well how the vikings were treated after their cruise. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````````````  No i think they're treated the same but on who you think is better is partly wrong. McFadden is FAR better at RB than Tebow is at QB McFadden has been cheated out of Hiesman for two straight years, you could ask the LSU Tigers who was a bigger threat! B-Ez is easily better than Tyler, he has better stats & if you compare UNC's talent not counting Hansborough to K-State's talent not counting Beasley, B-Ez elevated his team's gameplay far more than Tyler did with UNC. Take Tyler from UNC & their still a top 10 team, take Michael Beasley from K-State & they don't even make the NIT let alone the tourney.

But no doubt Jake Long is the best O-lineman in the draft & Chris Long>Vernon. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
````````````````````` Thats a load of ####. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
```````````````````` I think they're treated equally. Some black athletes (Henry, Vick, Pacman) give the rest a bad name with the media. They don't understand that they can't live the #### lifestyle anymore, with all the people watching them like they do. The media reports on whatever stories it gets, about any athlete, black or white. Look at Leinar story. He was partying with some girls, and it became a story. If he was doing something illegal, then he'd be in the same boat as Pacman or Henry. It's the choices that the athletes make that gives them the type of media attention they receive ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````````` Yes.. sad, but true Hun. The Black players have to be near Perfect in everything off the field.. the white player does not... #### Bu*t, but thats why theyre called the Minority, because everything is unfortunately control by us, if it were reversed, im sure yould see alot of Matt Leinart, Tom Brady having a baby out of wedlock, if that were Donovan Mcnabb who knocked sum chic up then broke up with her, i dont think it would have been forgotten quite so fast, Jeremy Shockey, and Bill Walton, when he was in college acting like idiots. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````` Yes..look at Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire. I think Peyton Manning mooned somebody in college ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
````````````````````` Just the nature of the question #### me off. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
`````````````````````` BY THE WAY i didn't write that cowboys song.
