I've just noticed that over the years and just wanted to bring it up today.

Interesting point. I think 'thug' is relegated to African-American athletes in general. Honestly, and I'm speaking for myself, I generally never speak of white athletes in those terms. And from what I've read here from other members, white athletes are generally considered, stupid, moron, idiot, a..hole, knucklehead, but rarely thug.
