Texas football coach Tom Herman opened up about the double standard that fans have for black student-athletesTexas football coach Tom Herman said he empathizes with black student-athletes and the double standard that he says fans have regarding them: If you're going to cheer for players of color on the field, that feeling shouldn't change once they're off. So players like Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt are just like us? You are foolish. Most of the modern day players come from poor neighborhoods. They just happen to play football. They are pushed through the education system. I'm not going to make them part of the family.
