Has anyone else noticed that the racism against white athletes in the media is well established when it comes to pictures? Notice how many photographs show blacks getting the better of whites in one way or another. One particular trick that I've noticed is the practice of showing whites with their eyes closed and blacks with theirs open, symbolically showing weakness and even cowardice in whites when competing against their supposed athletic "superiors".

The photograph of Matt Hasselbeck on ESPN's site today is a perfect example of an unflattering portrayal of a white athlete: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/index

Daily newspapers run these types of subtle and not-so-subtle anti-white pictures in their sports sections all the time.

For some reason the media thinks pictures of black athletes sells magazines! This weeks ESPN magazine has a huge close up of David Ortiz. It is the ugliest picture immaginable. It is so bad I cant even look at it. I dedcided to cancel the subscription because they always put some ugly black face on the cover and it is just too disgusting to look at!
