Sloppy NY Post Implicates Donte Stallworth - Page 4 - New England Patriots Forums

That's HORRIBLE. It IS clearly Stallworth. (Shame on those of you that can't recognize him, by the way.)

That's really racist. There's nothing else to call it. Someone edited all those legal documents into a picture of Stallworth and NOBODY in editorial noticed!?

I don't think I've ever seen anything remotely this bad before ...

I e-mailed the author and told her the error of her ways (her e-mail is at the bottom of the article). Perhaps others should do the same.

If you feel that strongly about it, most newspapers have contact information for corrections and errors, I'm sure there's one on the website somewhere (probably buried in the legal info)

I hope they don't change it just yet. I e-mailed Jamie Dukes.

Eh, I think you all are kinda blowing this out of proportion. I mean the racist stuff. It could have been a simple mistake. Sure it should have been avoided with an editor to make sure it was him but sometimes things like this happen and editors don't do their jobs. I don't think anything is racist about it. Just a mistake.

And the * in the result are there by accident too....

I don't feel that strongly about it, but I'm sure Stallworth would. The text of my e-mail was:

"Hey, Jennifer, next time you write an article like this, you may want to use Randy Moss's picture, instead of Donte Stallworth's. Maybe his lawyer will call you and ask for $500,000!!"

Stallworth and Moss (Moss particularly) are high profile players. You would not see a picture of Manning in for Brady. Or Romo in for Favre. You wouldn't see that mistake with Kyle Brady and Tedi Bruschi... It's fairly inexcuseable and it wouldn't have happened with white players, I don't think.
