Decent Essays
Oh it's almost All-Star weekend, cue the Carmelo Anthony saga.

Sources confirm that Phil Jackson has offered trade deals to the Celtics and Clippers as well as the Cavs. Earlier Carmelo said he would wave his no-trade clause, but the latest now is he wants to stay in New York. The Knicks have had an interesting month. Derrick Rose deciding he is a magician and practicing his vanishing act and now this with Carmelo. The question is not if you would trade Carmelo, but if you would trade for him.

    In my opinion, I would trade Tom Brady but only under one condition. If the Patriots end up winning the Super Bowl, it will obviously be harder to sell to fans that Brady will no longer be apart of the team. On the other hand, if the Falcons manage to pull off the upset, I think you have to move on from this amazing…

    Hi, Eduer I can see how you relate to the stereotype of African American’s being very good at sports due to your personal experience. If I were in your shoes I would have probably imagined the same thing without even realizing I was stereotyping. I believe we learn these kinds of behavior by what we see and hear in music and television and media in general, in this case we see it very often in advertisements and sports. Another stereotype you mentioned that is greatly influenced by the media is that African American are involved with gang violence and drug. We see that all-over television, movies and music as well, the media plays a big role in depicting stereotypes into pop culture so that we can become familiar with them and think it’s…
