I love when people try to play the race card and it blows up in their face. Who said anything about gangbangers being black. I have seen many other gangs composed of whites, mexicans, puerto ricans, russian, japanese, chinese, and pretty much every other ethnic group except maybe the Inuit in the northern hemisphere. Maybe it could be the posters lack of self esteem that you needs to project his defensiveness into his posts. Gangbangers is a lifestyle that these athletes have tried to incorporate into their lifestyles so that disadvantaged youths of all colors, creeds and religions will beg their parents to buy them the 150 dollar sneaker that they can't afford. hell, even if they can afford it, its ridiculous to pay that much for someones so called shoe. gangbanging is a lifestyle that many disadvantaged youths look up to as a way to get what they think they need. Has nothing to do with the way a person looks, but a way a person acts. As for your Brett favre analogy, thats a tired one. Favre came out, admitted it sought treatment and moved on. many other athletes, of all colors, try to hide behind claims of false test results, the I took a cold medicine defense, My doctor told me they were vitamins and pretty much any other ridiculous excuse under the sun. Who cares that "Melo" was 19 when he came out. Don't we all have some sort of job and have to act accordingly to rules governing that job as well as society rules. Oh boo hoo, the guy will make more in his 10 year career than probably 99.9% of the population will make in their lifetime. I'll take that problem anyday. Its called responsibity. You can't buy it, its either in you or its not.
