Part 6/10:
This segment of critique contends that the media often treats Black athletes differently from white counterparts, especially when misconduct allegations arise. The example of Bobby Petrino—a white coach who once nearly wrecked his career through scandal—is used to illustrate that white figures typically receive more leeway or a chance for redemption.
In contrast, Moore faces harsher scrutiny and potentially fewer opportunities for comeback. The implication is that systemic bias prevents Black men from rehabilitating their images as white men might easily do, perpetuating a racial double standard.
