2 Florida State players arrested in campus fight - Yahoo! News

2 Florida State players arrested in campus fight - Yahoo! News: "TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Two Florida State freshman wide receivers have been arrested on misdemeanor battery charges stemming from a fight in the student union two weeks ago.
University officials say 20-year-olds Bert Reed and Cameron Wade turned themselves in Wednesday at the Leon County Jail and were released after posting bond. They and three other players who participated in the fight were suspended for Florida State's last game against Boston College. No suspensions have been announced for Saturday's game against Florida.
Campus police still are investigating the Nov. 12 fight between football players and fraternity members.
(This version CORRECTS that players were suspended for game against Boston College not Florida.)"

This is a perfect example of why Myron Rolle is a brilliant shining star and a roll model that young black men should try and emulate. I know there are many more examples but this is just the latest and best example for the young student athlete.

With the recent election of President Barrack Obama, whom I did vote for. I do have a question for the black community, is it fair to ask or to expect more/meaning to raise the bar of expectations higher for themselves? I would hope the answer is yes. And that America can move even closer to being unified, in more than in name its self.
