The media will take any white athlete with a drug problem and report on that one guy forever. Actually, a white guy with any vice is the one they will make sure you never forget. Mantle and his drinking, Art Schlister and his gambling, Brett Favre and his pain killer addiction. It never ends with the media. Even Ty Cobb's racism gets rehashed every few years.
Anyone care to add other white poster boys the media never lets us forget. Here's one, Bobby Cox and his wife beating.
