At the risk of sounding cringeworthy myself.
Even if T.O. had never made it to the league, he's still 6' 3" and built like a tank and his skin tone is actually what Black women seem to prefer, I've seen more Black women celebrate darker-skinned Black men than denigrate them.
This whole sequence of events was just poorly thought out on his part.
He said he was a late bloomer, I'm thinking that football, slight celebrity and access to better resources is what helped him look that way today.
Even Dennis Rodman said he grew a few inches from his freshman yr to sophomore and I think even a few more for his 3rd year.
If he was some herb with average physique, average height, , no game, fucked up teeth, bad skin and trying to holla at women, they'd all clown him.
But getting on a school squad around women, getting to the league, getting your teeth fixed, a better diet, a dermatologist.....well now you're getting attention.....but by that point the only attention he wanted was white.....
Mfkr act like there are tons of black dudes, famous and not famous that uses to get clowned as youngins.......
I'll never turn my back on sistas
