astonamous,
That story scares me....it's not the fact that Jamal is a criminal....he was convicted.
What scares me is the fact that all he mentioned in his whole story were black atheletes.
Mike Danton the white hockey player was arrested for hiring a hitman to kill his agent.
Jose Canseco was arrested for drugs or something.
I think he's serving a house arrest with a ankle braclet.
The question was does money make a difference.....of course it does...look at Ken Lay.
I'm not calling this guy a racist or anything because I don't know him....let's just call him lazy :X

astonamous,
Ouch! If I were a journalist who doesn't want to seem too controversial, I would tread on the OJ eggshell very carefully. What does this guy mean by a "blueprint"? It's almost paraphrasing that a certain person is more likely to commit a crime and get off because 1. He/She is an athlete and 2. He/She is of a particular ethnic group.
Loved the Dave Chappelle take on white-collar criminals and their treatment under the current judicial system :lol:
So what's the solution according to this guy, put the equivalent of a store detective to follow the athletes around?
