Univ Tenn advised sexual assault victim to blame black player instead of Manning

That's not a real fair assessment. Hill, Jones, Stephen A. Smith and other black sports journalists and commentators have frequently written or talked about race and the inequities black athletes face within sport and how they're covered in press on every media platform they've occupied.

And they've received a bunch of hateful criticism from white readers and listeners just for mentioning that maybe race played a role regarding a certain issue or athlete.

Just because they have yet to opine on the specific angle you're referring to (even though I think Smith did on his radio show today) doesn't mean they're a tool for white supremacy. Especially when their work and words reflect the opposite.

I'll buy some of this, but you and I both know that some racial topics get more discussion from them than others.

Prime example:

NOBODY with a national voice has anything to say about THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE advising a black student be used as bait to take the heat on Peyton's sexual assault. This is right out of the KKK 1920s playbook. Black man vs. White woman.

All it takes is Jemele Hill or Steven A mentioning it. But they dont. Why? Because white people have no interest in admitting their bigotry. And at the end of the day, every black commentator that silences their conscious for a sustained paycheck is nothing more than a tool for white supremacy. Period.

Yeah I gotta admit Smith lit into the Manning story today on first take.

He really did and some people as expected called him a race baiter for mentioning that a black player got railroaded from Tennessee for not backing up Peyton's side of the story. The trainer got ran from Tennessee as well.

As I said yesterday, they went back 20-30 years on Bill (not condoning what he did. He was wrong) but people stayed tried to sweep this incident of sexual assault under the rug (ESPN as previously mentioned) until they had no choice but to talk about it.

stories like this are everything to everyone depending on their own perspective, because they usually tend to be multi-layered.

Yep and the funny thing is Tee Martin has been working at University of Southern Cal for over a decade and is one of the top recruiters in the Nation. You'd think UT would have him there.

Right. The man who actually delivered them a win against Spurrier and Florida and the National Championship that escaped Peyton every year.

But I think Tee still has an issue on how they did his coach in Philip Fulmer. Same reason Cutcliffe will not answer their phone calls either. LOL.

Also could be that his wife loves L.A. You know he married former singer/rapper Toya Rodriguez from St. Louis.
 



New research suggests “Division 1 football games increase daily reports of rape among 17- to 24-year-old victims by 28 percent.” Much of this has to do not with the behavior of the players themselves, but with game day culture at Division 1 institutions. The significant amounts of alcohol consumed and the increase in partying on game days (especially after a win) created an environment that is more conducive to and encouraging of sexual assault. In this vein, it is easy to relate athletic culture to fraternity culture — an area in collegiate society in which we’ve accepted a problem exists with sexual violence. (It’s easier to accept in fraternity examples, because they pose little threat to an institution’s brand or, more importantly, revenue.) Reports have found that frat boys are three times more likely to rape than their non-fraternity counterparts. The fraternity environment promotes “within-group attitudes” that perpetuate the poor behavior.
