Santonio, Santonio, Santonio

Oh my first thought was to write this blog post and blast the Pittsburgh Steelers for trading Santonio Holmes amid all the dysfunction involving their quarterback.  On the heels of Ben Roethlisberger dodging another personal bullet, Holmes release smelled of racial mistreatment.  Then I had to wake up and check myself.  Race had nothing to do with Holmes getting traded.  Race had nothing to with Holmes getting arrested for marijuana two seasons ago.  Race had nothing to do with a woman getting hit in the face with a glass.  Race has nothing to do with Holmes being in the NFL substance abuse program nor being suspended.  Race simply has nothing to do with Santonio Holmes being traded.  Santonio dug his own grave in Pittsburgh and even then the Steelers blessed him with a trade to New York.  They could have banished Holmes to Oakland for some donuts and a pick.  So even now Santonio Holmes is now on a AFC front runner.  I am so sick and tired of black athletes feeling entitled during a day in time when so many struggle to make it day to day.  Santonio Holmes needs to look in the mirror and decide what type of athlete he wants to be.  He has another chance at career success and may not deserve it.  Santonio needs to look within and decide how he wants his legacy to end.
