Drugs on a Plane

Michael Vick entered Miami International Airport on Wednesday carrying a 20 oz bottle of water. After displaying a hesitancy to allow the bottle to be checked out by airport personnel suspicion arose and Vick had to relinquish the bottle to enter his flight. The bottle was found to contain a secret compartment hidden by the label that contained a dark sediment and smelled like marijuana.

Now I am a college student and I understand that there is nothing really wrong with smoking marijuana. But the United States as a whole has decided that that substance is illegal. So why would a high profile individual like Michael Vick even have the need to try to sneak it onto a plane? It is not like it would be hard to get once he landed. Vick you are not a bad guy for smoking marijuana, you are an idiot for attempting to sneak it on a plane.

Steven A. Smith... Your Fired!

Yes its true. ESPN has announced in a statement released last week that it had canceled its night time talk show "Quite Frankly" starring sports writer/commentator Steven A. Smith. And I couldnt be happier.

Steven A. Smith was a racist hack who should have had his show cancelled after his first dumb politically incorrect statement was ever uttered for the world to hear. The man spends most of his show talking about how the white man is holding the black athlete down. He even stood up for Barry Bonds (alleged) steroid use by saying he was just trying to level the playing field with the likes of Mark McGwire (and other white athletes who cheated first). Even more rediculous for that he lectured about how the NBA was in the wrong when they punished Carmelo Anthony and a few others for an on-court fight that occured. He even said in his show that if they had been white players the penalties would have been less severe.

Racism is a horrible thing, and breeds hatred between people. Steven A. Smith is a racist in the worst sense of the word because not only does he base decisions on race, but he attempts to spread his racism as fact to the world through tv and type. I hope he is never given another chance to get on television.
