The Okafor smear campaign is a disgrace

[rothdawg]

He's the best young player we have in this town and the media wants to run him out of here.

Okafor is doing what Barkley would've done

I think the problem is Philadelphia sports suck right now so the media needs things to talk about.

Unless the events being reported actually did not happen I can't blame the media for reporting them.

They do seem to be picking at every single thing he's doing, but he does need to straighten up a bit. This is the problem (among many others) with having zero veterans on the team.

You were listening to Eskin over the weekend, no? He's insuating Okafor is a thug criminal. and some of the other writers are doing the same.

These guys had Iverson to cover for years.

I think when Okafor gets in a fight and has a gun pointed at him it's easy for them to go back to the old playbook of coverage.

Thats true. Could you imagine if cell phone videos were around for Barkley, Iverson or Burrell?
