Realest Op Ed On Fisher v VY

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/jeff-fisher-vince-young-tennessee-titans-cruel-game-112910

Highlights:
Titans could be in their division hunt
VY was in the wrong, however he snapped because Fisher pushed him too far
Young said he could have gutted the season out
Young was having his best season (98.6 Rating)
The Titans quit on Fisher because of how he has treated Young
Fisher has 5 playoff appearances in 16 years (I've heard 6)
Fisher works the media, ESPN in particular
He signed Chris Mortensen's son as a free agent (couldn't start at Samford)
This isn't a race issue

My thoughts:
The fact that Chris Mortensen has been the main ESPN reporter regarding this issue is egregious. ESPN has too much influence on public opinion. Fisher gets way too much credit considering his coaching record.

I don't agree with apologies through text messages however how do you apologize face to face to someone who banishes you from the facility?

Six Figure Salary Gap Amongst African Americans

When I read this article I was shocked that only 3.3% of African Americans earning six-figure salaries; and that much of the short fall is due to educational achievements. Which probes me to find out how much more do Africans get paid in certain professions relative to White Americans. I mean, I am under the assumption that African Americans who hold doctorate degrees particularly in the technology field should be making six-figures at the minimum. Now I am beginning to realize that African Americans holding advanced degrees are being slighted. For instance, recently this guy from Cameroon holding a PhD from Morgan State left international business machines to go to Fujitsu. The reason he left said company after contributing 4 patents was because he never received a promotion since he joined the company and had not been making six-figures to begin with (the compensation/benefits & stock options does not add-up to six-figures either). I would like to hear your opinion on this and how do you overcome being under-valued in this climate... BTW, here's the article: Six-Figure Salary Gap

Kanye West Complex Pop Star Persona!!!!

Kanye West's multifaceted persona is a subject of interesting discussion. I remember when his poor judgement to run up on the stage and steal Taylor Swift's moment, I vowed from that point to no longer support this dude(via purchasing his albums, i still feel that way). The reason for this posting is lately I've noticed a sacrileges trend wherein celebrities Kanye West, LeBron James, Jay-Z "Hova", i.e.
have this god-like, persona about them which I think is dangerous.
