Stop Hatin'

This past Saturday saw the playing of the annual Pro Bowl of the NFL where all the All-Stars of each conference come out to compete against one another for the last game of the year which is purely exhibition. I saw a reporter talk to LaDanian Tomlinson on how his relationship was with AFC team coach Bill Belichick who Tomlinson had criticized after San Diego's loss to New England in the playoffs. Tomlinson told it like it was and said that he let some anger boil over because of a player dancing on the Charger's logo after the game to show disrespect and he said that he should have directed his anger solely at the player and not at the coach. The reason I am commenting on this is because after that altercation, everyone wanted to come out saying that Tomlinson had fooled everyone into thinking he was some nice guy when he is actually a thug at heart. Personally I think some of the comments are racially motived. Not every bulky brown skinned African-American is not a thug as some people would like to think. The bottom line is that everyone gets angry from time to time. No one can say that they don't. The NFL's sportman award is named after Walter Payton and I'm sure he blew up from time to time. Stop hatin' all you sportswriters who just want to attack someone when their not at their best. To those critics, I bet you wouldn't say all that stuff to LT's face, would you.
