Myopic sports world analogy.

Michael Wilbon writes for the Washington Post regarding Maurice Clarett's recent run-in with the law. He was wearing a bullet-proof vest and had a "small cache" of firearms next to him while near the home of a witness that will testify against him in his robbery arrest last year. Wilbon goes on about how he didn't have a chance, blah, blah, blah.

The most telling quote:

"[Clarett] was left with nothing, really. No money, no education, no real NFL skills."

I think this is reflective of most inner-city kids. A more accurate phrase:

"he was left with nothing, really. No money, no education, no real...skills."
