ESPN Posts Picture of 'White Michael Vick'; Calls Game "African-American" ESPN knew what it was doing when it made it's NFL preview issue center around Michael Vick.

But did it go too far when it posted the above picture? The article attached to the picture was recently taken down by ESPN, which wrote an article discussing whether or not the backlash Vick received would have been different if he were white.

The photo, while maybe done in poor taste, is not quite as bad as the Allen Iverson debacle at the beginning of his career, where his tattoos were airbrushed off. In all reality, it was just an attempt to do something clever and different- and maybe drum up a little media attention.

Clearly ESPN must be getting backlash from it, as they have removed it within hours of putting it up.

In addition, check out this passage from the article, where Vick's playing style is described. All of that is why, to me, Vick seems to have a deeply African-American approach to the game. I'm not saying that a black QB who stands in the pocket ain't playing black. I'm saying Vick's style is so badass, so artistic, so fluid, so flamboyant, so relentless -- so representative of black athletic style -- that if there were a stat for swagger points, Vick would be the No. 1 quarterback in the league by far. So the question is clear: Was ESPN wrong for posting a picture of Michael Vick as white? Is the story in general out of line?
