He was in a city that culturally valued him. Not a surprise that some of the stuff wasn’t a problem…I thjnk Winnipeg and Buffalo were terrible cities culturally and where some of the problems started. Addictions begin as a coping mechanism

If that's true, some of that's on him. Not all black athletes go off the rails just because of where they live(and Buffalo isn't even that bad in that aspect). There have been plenty of people with worse upbringings or harder challenges than Kane who have succeeded in life much more than him.

Atlanta is a fun city for a young athlete named Evander ;5

Don’t be an asshat.

U wanna explain? That f***ing tool thought he was cool standing on a balcony calling people on the money phone? f*** that guy.

Would agree some on him: I’m just pretty open to like him given how he was in Atlanta. He was one of the first players to really embrace Atlanta and I think he could have changed the team’s popularity if we had owners like Viola and Cifu.

Kane to me is still the 18 year old kid who thought it was cool to meet Evander Holyfield
