Stephen Colbert Breaks Down Ferguson, The Rams and Black Frustration

Normally sports are viewed as an outlet fans turn to in times of sadness, but lately sports, particularly the NFL, have become a lightning rod for bad press. Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and even Commissioner Roger Goodell have been thrust into the limelight for their off the field actions and reactions. On Sunday, the St. Louis Rams became the latest team to draw both compliments and criticism from everyone through their "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" pre-game entrance act.
