If white football players "are rarely arrested" and if blacks make up "about half of all arrests," then this means that black football players also are "rarely arrested."  Half is equal to half, isn't it?

 

Yes, I know Chuck meant "comparatively," but in his eagerness to unload on black players, that nuance escaped him.

 

 

 

You're about arrogant.

That statement should be clear, and needs no correction from you.
