Abstract
Athlete transgressions have become quite the norm in professional sports as athletes are performing acts which are surely a detriment to their career. This is especially true of some Black male athletes in professional sports (e.g., Michael Vick, Derrick Coleman, Barry Bonds, and Adam 'Pacman' Jones). In light of this, this interview with Nic Harris of the Carolina Panthers illustrates how he has attempted to shun these negative associations among Black male athletes. Secondarily, given the scant attention as to how professional athletes go about managing their careers, the interview gives insight as to what goes into managing a professional career.
