Sports analysts Michael Wilbon and Charles Barkley took opposite approaches to a recent police interaction involving an NFL player. One blamed racism, while the other said the media was race-baiting.
After Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by Miami-Dade police before a game, bodycam footage was released showing officers pulling the player from his car and handcuffing him on the pavement.
The video spawned debate over whether there was excessive force on the part of the police officers or if Hill was simply uncooperative and disrespectful.
ESPN's Wilbon firmly took the position that Hill was guilty of "driving while black" and, as such, was subjected to racism.
