Last week Gene Upshaw, Execu- tive Director of the National Foot- ball League Players Association, said the drug problem in the NFL is being painted as a ‘black issue.’ Upshaw pointed out that since 1980, 37 of the 43 |. NFL players who | have been tied to f drugs have been black; further- more, the seven players that have been suspended & for drug abuse have all been black. To underscore Upshaw’s point, former Viking great Carl Eller, himself a one-time drug addict and now a drug consultant to the NFL, said that he knows of cases where teams protected white drug users while making public similar cases about black players. Although an argument for the discrepancy in numbers can be based upon the fact that there are more blacks in the NFL than whites, the numbers seem way out of line with the reality of the situa- tion. It is only too believable that white owners and coaches would protect white drug users from the wrath of public outrage, a public that is predominantly white and one that fills their stadiums every Sunday — while at the same time, use black public wanted as proof that drug users are not getting off scott-free. But the drug problem in sports is a color problem. It’s just that the colors aren’t black and white. The colors of the flag of drug abuse are: white, green and gray. White because that is the color of cocaine; green because cocaine is expensive and the only way these guys can afford it is to make the huge amounts they do; and gray because after the green is paid and the white is cut, the trip is a short one to the brain. The NFL clubs must be consistent with how they handle drug users in their ranks. Since the drug problem is not black or white, coaches and asking to be turned two colors themselves-black and blue, very blue.

Dallas Post/Ed Campbell against Meyers High School. By RICK ROGERS Staff Correspondent The Dallas baseball team is on a roll. Unfortunately, it’s the wrong way — downhill — and at the worst time — the end of the season when teams are gearing up for the play- offs. The Mountaineers lost to Lake- Lehman on Tuesday, 7-5, and the week got worse as they lost two more games. On Thursday in a game against Meyers, Dallas rallied for four runs in the last inning, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the 8-1 advan- tage Meyers held by the fourth. Dallas lost 9-7. On Friday, Dallas, with its star pitcher Mark Konopki on the mound, lost a 5-3 game to Bishop Hoban, who had just won four games all year. The only bright spot for Dallas in that game was Tim Moyer’s two-run homer in the fourth which momen- tarily tied the game at 2-all. Hoban scored three times in the fifth for all the runs it needed.
