    That was stupid. He should have kept that information to himself, the world does not need to know that you are stacking money.

    IF HE WAS WHITE???? YEAH YOU FINISH THE SENTENCE…SOME SAY A WHITE GUY WOULDN’T HAVE DONE THIS, YEAH HE WOULD HAVE DONE WORSE, OR HAD A RICH DADDY TO EXPLAIN WHERE THE MONEY CAME FROM. JUST ONE STATEMENT. A BLACK ATHLETE WAS DISMISSED FROM HIS TEAM FOR DISPLAYING MONEY ON A PUBLICLY ACCESSED INTERNET WEBSITE. IN SAN DIEGO A WHITE FRAT THROWS A “GHETTO PARTY” DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH, I BET NONE OF THEM ARE DISMISSED FROM SCHOOL..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TC2301/ TC2301

    It has nothing to do with race.He did get kicked off for showing the money.The pics drew suspicion and come to find out the came from a booster.Which is illegal for players to receive improper benefits.I hate when websites don’t put the whole story up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TC2301/ TC2301

    Didn’t *get kicked off the team for the money.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Michael2477/ Michael2477

    Why hate on the man, if you had the money, an were young you would do the same thing.I mean the man has never had, so when he gets it he is happy.Drug dealers brag, music folk brag alllllllll the time on there money, he is just following what is already being excepted. You know if you had money like that, an you never had you would do the same, maybe not on twitter, but friends, family, an come on fellas even when these brothers do not have they still act like they do. Give the young man a break, let him have his glory what else do we have as a people NOthing.

    This reminds me of a time when I won a summer festival 5k as an NCAA athlete… I had my friend accept the prize check even tho everyone saw me win because it really is that sensitive an issue. All it takes is one jealous parent or the like, and one sketchy situation and all that hardwork becomes a mere pick-up line.

    Bottom Line is… He’s just plain ignorant and will now have to find another school to play ball at and that will hopefully not hold his stupid act against him. Even though he’ll now be under the microscope for the rest of his collegiate tenure… Lls

    In the words of Fred Stanford “U BIG DUMMY”. He needs 2 get kicked out of school just because he’s so ignorant. I wonder what his grade point average is? 1.5???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/thoughtmanifest/ thoughtmanifest

    Another example of how Ignorant the Thug/Gangster Mentality is on a young Black Mind. He was so eager to show that he had alittle money, he quickly jeopardized his chances of becoming a Pro football millionaire.

    We’ve just witnessed another embarrassing moment in Black America. What’s worse is that there are plenty more to come.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Nightowl358/ Nightowl358

    Another person who fcked themselves up thanks to ignorance and not knowing the potential ramifications of putting your business on the internet.

    Just had to show the world all that “paper,” huh? Cuz that’s what it’s all about, money. . . .isn’t that what all these hip hop artists are teaching our youth?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/drkchokolate_10/ drkchokolate_10

    LMAO at all the people commenting trying to take up for him. It just shows that ur azz is hood and ghetto. But I have always wondered why dumb azz black folks,white folks,mexicans and whoever else take pictures of money and post it on the internet? Thats right I know, its called being a dumb azz person with a ghetto mentality. B/C the people with real bread don’t do this dumb sh-t. It is always some drug dealer,wanna b rapper,income tax check, having motherf-cker. Everybody wants to be seen and try to impress people they don’t even know, so they can get that old false pat on the back like the really doing something. Of course dudes do it to impress dumb azz women b/c they know they are looking for a shopping spree or something and will give up some azz. And of course women doing to try to make other women think they have it going on. I bet if you put all their dumb azzes together and said show me the deed to the land you purchased,the house you bought, the businesses you opened in the black community, the stocks and bonds you have for your children to have a better life than you. They will look at you crazy. See this is what people that have real cake do. You dumb broke azzes that don’t have sh-t think this is cool, it’s not. White folk look at you as just another dumb azz n****r they own. Peace

    I agree with drkchokolate_10. I try to educate some of the younf females and women especially but just people in general about investing, but guess how many actually take the initiative to “learn” when I sometime even offer my services for “free”……NONE!!!!!! It’s sad that the majority of our people will ass off time by learning the latest rap song or the latest fashion bag when they’re living in the projects with a BENZ. They need to get their priorities in order. By the way, I’m definitely not knockin people that live in projectz at all, I’m just saying that BEFORE some should spend money on the BENZ with 22s, they should have invested that money in stock,CDs, or at least put down money to OWN your home or property. Sometjing that’s going to give you BACK more than what you put in. You can definitely tell when a niggah is NOT used to money.lol

    I agree with the below. Black people get money and go crazy. As this fool is finding out as my Grandma used to say, “Easy come Easy Go,” and “Fool and His or Her Monoey Soon Part.”

    It ain’t his fault; everyone on twitter or facebook or myspace etc got some pic with some amount of money flashing, or some other way to show how much you flossin and moving with. Shoot if you aren’t on there as a celebrity or the news or an owner of a business or a representative for a group or in some other way promoting a product or a service for public consumption, then you’re basically just on twitter just to get nosey and into other people’s business, and try and get attention and have people give two s**ts about all of your praiseworthy business, all on your own idle s**t anyways: It’s a blog site, stuff what he was doing is what all that is for.
    I mean, at the end of the day it’s ignorant and not smart to post pics of yourself flahing paper.. But for all the things that you could get kicked off of the football team for, it was over his own money? Was it because he cited the football team or because they’re rubber banded like he was hustling? Should other NCAA athletes expect to get let go for shirtless pics on their twitter and myspace pages?
    I mean there are worse things Black youth are doing or showing for attention, but tough break nigga

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GiGi_Ambition/ GiGi_Ambition

    It is his fault. After making it so far why would you post something like that for millions to see. the reason he got dismissed was because of the question HOW DID YOU MAKE THAT MONEY? Just because the crowd goes over the bridge doesn’t mean that you have to because they get the attention. He could have just as well taken the road to influence other viewers to work hard and look out for him in the NFL….Cant say that anymore now can you?

    He is living in a racially divided country so he shouldve
    known better as a black man dont go on internet and flash cash.
    http://join.crazyfruits.net
    He should not have been kicked off the team like that
    but in a racists country any excuse to fire you is good enough.

    Plantation f**kup! So he threw away a possible NFL career because he want to floss! I am curious as to what the NCAA plans on doing about it. I am sure that the school did what they did to keep the NCAA from really looking into it.

    i think it is some bull. dude is young and we all have done stupid things. i dont think was enough to have him taken off the team, i can think of worse things that he could have done. but at the same time you know the risks that are involved so dont give them a reason.
