From the beginning of time when you do something wrong it is magnified 100 times bigger than the white athlete doing something wrong.You will be front page news for a long time.If  you stand up for your self, you will be portrayed as millitant, arrogant and hard to work with with even though you might be in the right.Just look at some of these examples,Jack Johnson he dated and married white woman ,and he was front page news for years,and  went to jail,Muhammed ALi joined the Nation of Islam and took a stand against the war and he was thrown in jail he  was front page news for years.O.J.Simpson was found not guity ,and he can't work and has been front page news for YYYYYEARS.Terrel Owens the fool that he is what crime did he commit beside being ignorant and lacking good judgement  with his career he has been in the news for years,you got Kobe Bryant same thing .Jim Brown is another person who speaks his mind and hasn't been convicted of nothing and he's in the news for or has been  for years.What I'm saying is to all athletes and mostly black athletes if your in the limelight you better think before you speak,think before you act because anything you do wrong or say will be magnified you will be front page news for years.There 's more examples but i made my point.
