What exactly does this have to do with TM7? Are you implying that people who disagree with you are bigots somehow. Unless TM7 is a socialist who disregards the constitution, I see no comparison.

I like TM7.... Obama, not so much.

I think his point was valid. Let me spell it out for you. There are a lot of racist people in the south still even to this day.

Sadly this will become the news in the near future. The Times pic going 3 days a week was a huge sign of these changes. Coupled with peoples constant cell phone usage will create more short sided journalism. Skip Bayless and Steven A Smith are replacing the Bob Ryans and Dick Schapps of the world. I only use sites like ESPN for box scores and stat info. The internet killed actual sports jounalism too.

He really isn't the most likable person.

Yeah. Sports journalism has really taken a hit with the downturn of newspapers.

But it goes further than that. The journalists I talk to regarding stories about my research are now covering multiple topics for the newspapers and are no longer focused on the budget, or education, or the environment and what not. They are expected to cover a wide range of topics whereas int he past there was a reporter for all these different areas.

I know the blogger personally...definitely not racist, definitely not conservative. Very knowledgable about the game.

I really hope this doesn't become a political thread.

Your missing my point. Of course racism exist outside the south. I m saying that if you would be honest to say that a good majority of LSU's fans feel like this guy .

The only thing i was trying to say that if Tyran Mathieu worked at Albertsons , it would be different. I mainly was saying how much of an anomaly that hundreds of thousands of people could cheer for a dude they are the exact opposite of.

How many Thugs have you seen at a Garth Brooks show? Wont happen. Tyrans situation is the opposite of that. Thats all I was saying. Politics aside, its merely a social observation

But when he fricks up or piss them off he'll get racist hate mail.

I have no problem with what TM7 does on and off the field. He went through a lot to get where he is.

Only thing I wish was someone told him how to market himself. Imagine the marketability if he cleaned up his off the field acts. Talk trash on and and off the field but keep more of a clean cut image. After he declared the companies would be all over him for advertisement. No doubt he will still get advertisements but his potential for making money could even be greater.
