I agree. It's been that way for awhile. When Jordan Jefferson, quarterback for LSU two years ago was arrested for battery and Tyrann Matthews got kicked off the team for smoking pot, both were called thugs. It's not something white players are ever called for similar activity. Neither were thugs, though both did stupid things that hurt themselves, their team and their futures.
