I am so sick of media stereotyping of white athletes I am to the boiling point. One of the nastiest traits many announcersutilize is when a white player makes a play--and it is quickly followed by "he/she isn't the fastest or quickest or most athletic player" etc. This has become a ritual. Heaven forbid that the athlete stand on his own accomplishments. To me this is a sadistic gesture by announcers. What it does is to take away from the great play and quickly put the white athlete back into his second class citizen place.
Another super annoying example is the idea that when black dominated "speed" (as designated by media) teams lose to whiter teams the answer is usually lack of discipline or lack of interest etc. In otherwords these type of black teams according to the media should win because they are more talented. If a white team loses to a primarily black team the answer is usually "they were overwhelmed by talent."
