        I've lived in quite a few countries and it's often the case that skin color / poorer neighbourhoods are the targets for being 'policed'.

        Why? It's easier to get arrests, causes less social pressure on police / govt.

        It happens world wide...

        And it's hypocritical. The guy cheating $20 000 on his taxes is "less" a criminal than the guy who steals a $30 discman?

            I would disagree because piracy and coroprate crime usually comes down to money. And we all know how well paid athletes are.

            Drugs, sexual assault, and assault often don't involve money as the motive for their actions.

                Has there ever been an athlete (who was active or retired) who was charged with a corporate crime or piracy?
                As Shaquille O'Neal left the Suns practice court, he yelled out, "Alvin's the coach. We must be the Clippers. And I must be Olowokandi. Nooooo!"

                    Do you know how many women are raped in corporate environments? At corporate functions? And never talk because they'd lose their employment...

                    Don't think athletes are the only one's doing crap.

                    Their just the one's getting the publicity...
