Not sure how this is catering to black people when it could actually be taken offensively with a lot of stereotypes that are being used thus far. The rampant adultery, poor money management, the star being from Crenshaw, white gold diggers, etc.

But they're not stereotypes. This show is actually pretty well grounded in the reality of off-the-field issues for guys in and out of the NFL (and football in general). Every bit of this rings true.

Now, that doesn't make it the best show on TV by any stretch but it's pretty true to the source material. Maybe the lives of professional athletes just aren't really that intriguing or intelligent
