I find it odd that you went to the "thug" label on someone that does the same thing that many players that are white do all the time. And situations that have been much higher profile. And if you want to talk about the situations with Vick, Johns and Henry, at the very least two of those individuals were criminally accused of something off the field and involved violent behavior. And if you do not like that accusation, then at the very least know the definition of the words you choose to use. Because Ward by all accounts is not only anything like the names you just mentioned and did not commit a violent act outside of the rules of football or off the field.
It is not about race to you because you probably have the ability to avoid that topic all the time. I do not have that opportunity because people assume all kinds of things about me and I have not said a single thing. Maybe Ward is a bad guy, but a thug for talking a little trash to an opponent? Come on now. If that is the case almost every player I come in contact is a thug. And it would not matter what race they are either.
