Sports are the only place that allows men to hug each other and touch each other’s asses. Try doing that to one of your ‘teammates’ inside the Bear+Stearns boardroom and see where it gets you. Athletes live in a strange reality that is separate from our own. They are exalted and reviled for no other reason than the color of the shirt that they wear to work. Some people think the money that some professional athletes earn justifies the public contempt that they receive. These are the same people that hate BARRY BONDS.

There have been all kinds of articles written claiming that BONDS career be given an asterisk. I don’t see these claims directed at any of the other baseball players from his era. BONDS wasn’t the only slugger that hit home runs and broke records during the last ten years. BONDS’ crime against the baseball scribes isn’t just his Blackness, because BOND’s identifies with Black males even less than BABE RUTH does. BOND’s biggest flaw is that he is a Black Douchebag. That is the unforgivable sin.

SHOWBEE BRYANT was a young B.D. for his entire career. He was selfish and pouty. In the classic definition of snitching, he divulged the private secrets of one of the most popular and well-liked players in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform.

The common thread that I see with Black Douchebags is that they are usually from professional athlete families. BONDS dad was a serviceable major leaguer and SHOWBEE’s pop, JELLYBEAN, was journeyman b-baller who played into his fifties. Neither of these men were championship winners in their respective sports. They have bestowed their athleticism upon their seeds and what also seems to be the attitutude of entitlement.

BARRY BONDS made baseball fans forget about his Black Douchebag status by hitting a record number of homeruns in one season. SHOWBEE has taken a page from this playbook as he completed a year in which he had a career high for his scoring average. SHOWBEE nearly scored 100 points one game this season. SHOWBEE has used his me-first mindset to bring the Lakers into the NBA playoffs. Sports fans tend to forget how much they hate you when your team wins games. But trust me, SHOWBEE is still a B.D.
