ESPN Posts Picture of 'White Michael Vick';

Calls Game "African-American"

ESPN knew what it was

doing when it made it's

NFL preview issue cen-

ter around Michael

Vick.

But did it go too far

when it posted the

above picture? The arti-

cle attached to the picture was recently taken down by

ESPN, which wrote an article discussing whether or not

the backlash Vick received would have been different if he

were white.

The photo, while maybe done in poor taste, is not quite as

bad as the Allen Iverson debacle at the beginning of his

career, where his tattoos were airbrushed off. In all reality,

it was just an attempt to do something clever and differ-

ent- and maybe drum up a little media attention.

Clearly ESPN must be getting backlash from it, as they

have removed it within hours of putting it up.

In addition, check out this passage from the article, where

Vick's playing style is described. All of that is why, to me, Vick

seems to have a deeply African-American approach to the

game. I'm not saying that a black QB who stands in the pocket

ain't playing black. I'm saying Vick's style is so badass, so artis-

tic, so fluid, so flamboyant, so relentless -- so representative of

black athletic style -- that if there were a stat for swagger

points, Vick would be the No. 1 quarterback in the league by

far. So the question is clear: Was ESPN wrong for posting

a picture of Michael Vick as white? Is the story in general

out of line?
