It has everything to do with how big of a star you are, not what color your skin is.
So Rethlisberger isn't a 'big star'? A two time Super Bowl winner, on one of America's favorite team? Race has a lot to do on how they report/cover stories IMO, this story is a classic example of it. Kobe's case was ALL over the place, just like Tiger's and Vick's. I had to open this thread to see if there was any new news on this case, because it's seems to be swept under a rug.
No. Ben Roethlisberger is NOT a "big star." The other guys you named (Kobe, Tiger, Vick)....THOSE are big stars. Ben is not a BIG star. I actually agree, that race is kind of a problem here, but your examples as to why are poor.
