But seriously it's getting way too easy to post stuff like this...it's like every day now.

Perhaps we should start a "Black Athlete Crime" thread to consolidate and organize...

We have a crime thread but arrest stories do get posted everywhere.

What a head-shaking, pathetic story.

It's fortunate that in the sporting world a poor work ethic or botched MLB/NBA/NFL plays aren't considered crimes, else this website would implode.

Benson claims to have cooperated with the police. What gets me with an incident like this is that Benson and friends were on a boat when approached by law enforcement to perform a "random check." Sieg heil! I am so fed up with random roadblocks and guilty until proven innocent "safety checks," whether on highways or on waterways. Land of the free my ass. It's a police state and the number of police grows by the day.


Report: Benson's friend had dad call 911 over police treatment


According to the Tribune, Cartwright said she had had one drink and Benson had consumed two when the party of about 15 people decided to head back to shore at about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday to get dinner. About that time, a patrol boat approached to conduct a random check, she said.








According to Cartwright, it was the sixth time that a patrol had stopped Benson's boat on Lake Travis in as many outings this year.

Cedric the Entertainer manages to get arrested again. The NFL's affletes are nothing if not tremendous fodder for laughs, at least among us. No system comedian or commentator would be so daring as to point out the truth about "professional" black athletes.

I must admit, the past 2-3 seasons have provided more horribly idiotic "afflete arrests" than in all other decades put together.

You'd think that someone in the mentally-warped media would ask thier "professional" affletes something like "How the f*ck do millionares get arrested?"

Let me be the first to laugh at the super-duper-bust Cedric Benson. His professional career has been beyond pathetic, and his baffoonish behavior has done tons of damage to the credibility of those who drafted this collegiate "star" (there were many white and black NCAAA RBs with better stats and measureable that season).

Hopefully this bum will eventually goes the way of Odell Thurman, and be suspended for good. I love when affletes embarress themselves and their "organizations."

I think we should all offer Cedric a contragulations on ruining his career.....

The Bears cut one Cedric the not so entertainer Benson must of taken lots of guts on Lovies part to cut a fellow brotha lol. It's about freaking time that the negroes were held accountable for their actions about time indeed.
