6. What is it about TMZ that seems to attract so many members of the KKK?

7. I think this is more of a "professional athlete" thing, or even a celebrity thing, than a race thing. It just seems to me that these rich, famous athletes think they have the right to bully people around off the field, court, whatever. Just because you're hot crap in your sport, doesn't mean you're hot crap on the public street.

Get off your high horses - you may be a professional athlete, but it doesn't give you the right to push people around.

9. Clearly he's a criminal. Have him tested for steroids too. Oh and nobody should be complaining about TMZ covering this. Hell if it happened it happend.
What a loser. We don't need any extra losers or criminals here in the good old USA!

11. Race has nothing to do with it, he's a man, just like John Mayer, memba him? He's agressive too.

12. I am so sick of ignorant comments by people that only see and hear what they want, but does not want to see the big picture. Jefferson is a man period; that was pushed pass the limit by a no namer that sought out to make a buck and publicity at the celebrities cost. The man sault after him and would not leave him alone, which is definitely seen by the little information given. If people would be honest, they would admit that they would have dealt poorly with people that are trying to aggressively push their buttons when they are trying to get away from the person. We don't even know what the man was saying as he continued to follow Jefferson to arousal such a behavior. Why do we allow such behavior of people like this and ostracize the celebrity. Did we not learn anything from the paparazi scandals that violates ones' privacy and are willing to push people to do things to get them off them that may even cost them their on life trying to get away from them and keep them out of their life private.

13. We all know celebs live in a world where they think because they are "special" and have money... they expect preferential treatment. Look at Brit did she really think she would gain 50/50 custody of those kids because she is Brit? It tends to be a race thing with people who have yet to deal with their own issues against race.

Racism is like Jealousy... something no one ever will openly admit, not even to themselves, but their words and actions clearly shows it's there... too bad!

14. while it may appear to be about athletes and there is certainly some evidence to see it that way...it's more about sports in general. athletes aren't the only ones...parents who attack umpires at little league or hockey games, or baseball, the most recent being a woman who got in a disagreement over sports and tried to run someone over...it's about a culture of aggression that gets surfaced, not released as some say but surfaced by many sports...if you listen even to the language of sports like basketball, "we just had to play more aggressive, and it's the playoffs, it's just a hard fould, and that's playoff basketball" or baseball..."he had to take him out at second to break up the double play, sure his spikes were a little high but so what, that's baseball, or he had to throw at him in retalitation for the close throw to his own teammater" and hockey "it was a hard check and he had to take him down, so what if his stick was a little high and he got cut, that's hockey" and lastly, football "sure it wax a cut block and took his legs out but no harm, he's still standing".....it's become standard in sports that if you can't be more skillful than the other player, it's now acceptable to physically damage them in some way as a demonstration of your macho toughness...when really ALL it shows is that the other player is better than you and so your only recourse is to injure him while spewing denials along the way about your intention...cowardly, cheap and sad really...fans are no different...it's no mistake that fan is the shortened version of fanatic and we're currently at war with others for whome the word "fanatic" applies...
