"I’m really ticked off right now. Because one of the things that I think a lot of people can’t say, but obviously I can say being an African-American, I don’t see too many white players getting into these kinds of situations."Smith outlined three years of "trials and tribulations" for A. "P" Jones and one major "second chance" given by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones."It’s entirely embarrassing," Smith said. "As an African-American, I’m really getting sick and tired of having to sit up here and give some kind of explanation as to why these guys find themselves in this situation."My last comment: White players are not finding themselves in these situations. We’ve got to start taking a look at ourselves."
But for the whole Stephen A. Smith comments. I can't agree more. A lot of these guys think that the hood is their life and still need to act like shitheads when they are making millions of dollars, the last thing these players minds should be to get into a fight when it is your seventh strike in the NFL. I know white people do a lot of stupid things as well (Matt Jones) but it seems like a lot of these troubled people have 50 cent, Game, TI or any other mainstream rapper as a role model rather than anyone who does anything productive. Instead of having street cred, I think it's time to just have credibility as a good person.
