Oscar Robertson: The press will do anything to..

  Discredit the Black Athlete. Wow. I wasn't sure whether to post this on the Pro Sports or Political Boards. The Big O was a heck of an athlete back in the day. Many of the old school guys say he was better than MJ or Lebron. Heck, he averaged a triple double in a season. But it is clear the man has a very jaded view of the world.

  Another athlete/former athlete who should just STFU.

  It's funny that he pretends to be apathetic but complains a lot at the same time.
  Whatever. Racism is the most boring, overkilled topic in sports. He claims the white press does whatever they can to discredit the black athlete. How do you measure that? Is there some type of analysis available proving this? If not, then let me be the first to claim the black press discredits white athletes, since no one gives a damn about credentials.
  
  You know what this sounds like? An old man that has all the excuses in the world. Assists were more difficult to get back in his day, the '60 Olympic team didn't have the NBA experience as the '92 team did, the white media sold him short when he was in Milwaukee.
  
  "They don’t bother me and they didn’t bother me." -- sounds like a lot still bothers him.

  Chris Rock always says "...there is nobody on the planet more racist than old black men."
