One note Plaxico's suspension was imposed by the Giants not the NFL and Goodell. After he went to prison the league decided that missing a year, plus those 4 games was enough punishment and declined to give him a personal conduct suspension.

Not really, black folks vote the kitchen table and anti-racism. Teh gays don't really register as an political issue just a cultural one.

This black man couldn't agree more. +1

The event you are describing is known in some circles as World War III. It could involve the use nuclear weapons on a large scale and the end of civilization as we know it. As such the international interversion will exhaust all other options when it comes to Russia first.

I am black too and find Mayweather whole persona and behavior to be odious just like the writer. Do you have children? Do you want them to conduct themselves like Floyd, woman beating, talking about his wealth constantly, calling women bitches, making racist comments against Hispanic and Asians? He is a terrible…

As a black man implore you not to go here. Floyd Mayweather offends me for the not only the reasons written here, but because his entire lunkhead persona he intentionally cultivates. It's Step and Fetchit type behavior, to hold him as a victim of racist media is a moral disservice.

Maybe he should find interest in her best friend or neighbor and see how it works out.

This. Is. Nonsense.

Which Spur is a top 5 NBA player right now? It doesn't hurt to have a superstar but there is still room for team ball.

At first glance it is perplexing, but Brazil GDP per person is like 3x higher and there HDI is like 50 spots higher, so it's probably improvement economically to make this move. It's probably the same kind of jump that a Brazilian gets if they migrate to the US. People always look to improve I guess.

Well Ghana has a rep as being pretty stable and prosperous, so lumping all the African countries together as terrible seems to be a bit ignorant. It seems to me they think the Brazilian economy simply has more to offer them.

I happen to love both sports, and life in these parts can be hectic and simple slow pace of baseball is enjoyable to me and millions of people in North American, Latin America, and Asia. The world need not move at warp speed, be timed and tilted to those with superior running and jumping ability. Also of you think…

He and A -Rod seem like the same person.

Please dont this, both games are wonderful and mean a lot so many. You don't need to pull down baseball to prop up soccer.

Nah he will stick with it, it will be in his blood. He'll go to Europe and make shit tons of money and them score buckets of goals for us in the WC. The Soccer America will be etched in concrete and the haters will evaporate.

Nonsense somewhere is this vast country is a star soccer player. Maybe he's a Mexican immigrant child or some athletic freak kid in a suburb watching. The numbers tell us so.

Stop being a dick, check the ratings for this World Cup people are into it. Hockey is not my thing, but don't throw cold water on their fans. Go away.

Honestly given this type of situation, it's totally plausible that she got caught cheating on her boyfriend, he got angry and attacked her and she made up a story about rape to mollify him.

Exactly and many of these women are white, and our culture still has it's hang ups about interracial sex. It's not lost on me these incidents one is at ND which is a conservative place culturally and another at Wisconsin which is the upper Midwest, a place without a ton of black folks. To ignore it as an a factor in…

A few things struck me while reading these stories and comments. I worry for both the accused and accuser. It should go without saying rape is a brutal criminal act and heinous crime and any woman or man that has suffered it you feel sympathy for. You hope for healing for all these women. With that said people here…
