I don't know if racism has anything at all to do with Wilbon's disdain for horse racing but I think the guy is a radical when it comes to black athletes and their place (or lack therof) in sports.
Maybe Kerwin John could get a derby mount next year on a son of a Northern Wolf broodmare so Wilbon could be reminded of the only time he had any rooting interest in a horse race.

and hypocritical. Stand up for Tiger Woods under any and all circumstances while pointing out how white athletes get away with crap that black athletes could never get away with.

Anyone who has read his articles in the post and seen him on channel 4 in Washington for 25 years should know this.
