I only hear about black football players in trouble with the law. Is it that white players don't make mistakes or its not publicized?

Last year Eric Steinbach was arrested for B(as in boating)UI.
Part of it is that there are multiple times the number black football players as white so it is not surprizing that the number or rest is higher for black players. Sadly though part of it is racism.

A couple things, the media blows up everything. Remember last year in a magazine Tom Brady admitted to surfing porn and the media went crazy over it.

Here are a few other white players who did stupid
-Eric Steinbach (already mentioned)
-Mark Chmura (doing something with underage girls)
-Bill Romanowski (already mentioned)
-Forgot his name, the punter from the panthers doing steroids
-Patriot TE who "assaulted" female reporter in locker room
-Jared Allen (drunk driver)
-70s Raiders all drunkards and gamblers but mch like Baseball Steroids, this was looked the other way due to an emerging monstrous entity we all love today.....the NFL

Well there are a few and I guess maybe there is some merit to the original statement. However a good majority of the modern problems seem to have a "thug" image conected to them. Sad, and perhaps tougher rules and punishments will help weed out some of the punks and trouble makers.

White football players get arrested.

Romanowski was arrested for drugs (from his wife)

There are just more black football players at the "skill" positions and those are the ones that get the publicity.

When that newspaper (sorry forgot which one) put all the photos of all the players that got arrested in that issue, two of them were white, and one played for the Bungles. Unfortunately, you have to look at it statistically, most of the NFL players are black, therefore, when one of them gets arrested, if you play the percentages, most likely it will be a black player. All of them just need to grow up and realize they are not babies. I just want to know where their mothers are? If that was my brother acting like he was born with no common sense, our mother would beat the hell out of him. This is what happens when idiots (albeit talented ones) get money.

Oh, and if the New England quarterback got arrested, it would be EVERYWHERE!!! Even though I don't like him, and I'd probably laugh at first, EVERYONE would keep on talking about it and I'd get sick of listening to it.

Cheers.

Of course our people get arrested, but for much lesser infractions, bar fights, speeding, etc. We're not our there killing, raping or selling drugs like many of the black players that have been caught doing so.

One time is a mistake, two times or more is NOT a Coincidence and three times is a calculated pattern. Hoe many chances should these punks get?

It has nothing to do with this "racist" bullshit. It's just the facts, it's the way it is. Noone makes these black players do the dumb things they do so they have noone to blams but themselves.

But the liberal media and racists like Jesse Terdson and Al not so sharp shapton rud to their defense from afar to claim bogus charges, to try and distract rhe public from the ridiculous and criminal things idiots like tank johnson do, like have at least six unregistered shotguns and pulling them on people. What do you expect to happen when you break the law??

I think it's good that the law is enforced on everyone. Noone should be excluded from having to follow the law, especially athletes, who rightly or wrongly are role models to some kids. More kids in the ghetto would do well to follow the example of how to live your lives, from peole such as Joe Montana, John Elway, Warren Moon, Marshall Faulk, Barry Sanders and people of their ilk.

The media is also a big part of the problem because they know controversy and wrongdoing sells, like people watching a car crash on the side of the raod and they know they should be raising awareness of good people like the ones I mentioned, but instead they do the irresponsible thing, all for rating and exploitation.

Shame on you media and shame on you in society who glofiry and promote the behavior of the media and of these thug athletes like Adam Jones and Vick, who get caught time and again.

Well, black players such as Pac Man Jones, Michael Vick, Albert Haynesworth, and Chris Henry are making it clear, unfortunately, that they are a disgrace to their race...
