But Mike grew up in N.C and did not go to segregated schools, did not have white people spit on him and other indignities because balck folks were willing to risk their lives. And when history caught up to him he punted, which was his right. But to gloss over that because he was risking more money than Jim Brown and Kareem is an insult to those individuals. They too were risking the opportunity to move their families to a different path .
