Brown has continued his outcry, publicly calling out star black athletes like Tiger and Michael Jordan and many in the media don't like it and find it uncalled for on his end.
I have argued before in this blog that Brown is right in calling these asshats out. The thing the media doesn't get is fairly simple: While the Coz (Bill Cosby) has come out barking at young, black men needing to take some freaking responsibility, adding on to what Brown has been talking about for decades...I have to believe that young, black men are looking at these two old men and hearing white noise.
Michael may be now too old as well to deliver this message effectively, but Tiger certainly is not. He could use his bully pulpit as an international star of epic proportions to deliver such a message to young, black men.
I am sorry, but making the cash he is making, there is an intrinsic responsibility put upon him to take this role. It's clear to me that Tiger is way too image conscious, when he doesn't need to be. Yet another reason to hate golf...

I don't think that anything intrinsic can be "put upon" someone else. I'm just saying . . .
Fair point by you. There are many a reason I didn't become an English major.
