Disassociated Press -
Latonio Jamal-Wilkins IV is a ferocious running back with more cuts than a stoned chef in a restaurant kitchen. And he's out of a job.
"Man, it sucks" he explained to a group of huddled reporters on the look out for a better person to interview.
I asked him why he thought no team signed him. He looked at me funny-crooked and said, 'Isn't it obvious? Race. It's always about racism, man." When he was reminded he played in an all-black league with black ownership he replied, 'You crackers really crack me up."
The All-Black-No-Whites league has been around for three months and despite its commitment to black athletes, Jamal-Wilkins IV finds himself on the outside looking in with plenty of things to blame.
"Sports is a social construct really. Now I see it".
But not everyone agrees. Brian Nowhypippo explained to me, "I'll tell you why he ain't got no job. Datnigger can't hold onto the bleepin' ball, that's why. Nigger coughed up the ball ni'tines in seven games! Nine! That's the number after eight. It's not zero. 'Cuz if it were zee-row nigger still be in da league. Cost us the damn game too-tines' with one big ass grin he closed.
Once again proving there are many sides to one story.
After that, we all went out for beers.
