Up 4 Discussion - Sports Socialism: Does Kobe's comments on racism affect you?

We discussed this before ( http://www.blogtalkradio.com/up-4-discussion/2013/12/18/up-4-discussion--the-impact-of-todays-black-athlete ) and now its time to discuss this again.  Does the impact of our black athletes still have a social impact?

Do you think people are overreacting to Kobe Bryant’s comment on the Trayvon Martin situation or his comment is blown out of context?

Do you feel that athletes should get more involved with culture and world issues?

Do you think it’s fair for society to appoint professional athletes as representatives of their race?
