All Things Not Hip Hop


June 22, 2007 | Tags: Pacman Jones, Barry Bonds

Before I begin, let me say that none of what I'm about to say is about Hip Hop or your favorite rapper and why I can't stand his ass. So if you're one of those "what's this got to do with Hip Hop?" readers, click the back button, because the answer to that question is "NO."



Outside of watching random dudes get the shit knocked out of them on UFC, I'm not a huge sports fan (until football season). Still, I can't help but watch the ESPN morning shows while I'm getting dressed for my 9-5. I'm also not one of those cats that screams racism at any and every injustice that happens to a person of color, so I'll just label the media coverage on Barry Bonds and Adam "Pacman" Jones what it is: some bullshit.



*sidenote: why do they call that dude Pacman like he doesn't have a real name?*



Anyway, Pacman is being hung by the media and while he's certaintly had his share of fuck ups (and three or four other player's shares too), THIS time, all the criticism is unwarranted. For those of you who don't follow. Pacman is wanted for questioning by police because somebody he knew was involved in *gasp* another strip club shooting. Unlike the All Star Weekend debacle in Vegas, "Make it Rain" Jones wasn't in attendance.



Jones is already facing charges in Vegas for the All Star incident (and yes, Nevada is the M-I-crooked letter x2-I of the West for a reason), my money is that Pacman is about to do some time behind this one. But this latest incident, is nothing more than blood for the wolves. If the average man got locked up because we "knew" somebody that "did some shit," we'd all be facing time (I know I would)...



Unlike Pacman, the  Barry Bonds situation ALMOST stinks of racism...



If Barry wasn't such an asshole.



This comes down to Bonds just not being a likeable guy. The media is all too eager to throw out that "guilty until proven innocent" thing that our country supposedly prides itself on in an attempt to smear Bonds (inevitable) record  breaking season. Let's keep it 100 for a minute, I'm not God, but all signs point to Bonds being guilty, but like OJ, he just didn't get caught. Doesn't mean that he didn't do it, it just means that we need to treat him like he's innocent until we know otherwise.



Hell, the MLB players that got CAUGHT haven't undergone as much media scrutiny that Barry has. I almost feel sorry for him...



But then I'm reminded how much of an ass he is.
