The strange and the curious case of Steve McNair

.
As previously stated, I am not a big sports fan. There's stuff I watch, stuff I don't, but this story caught my eye. For the un-informed, McNair, a retired NFL quarterback, was found shot to death over the weekend, near him was a 20 something woman, also deceased. McNair had been shot 4 times, two in the chest, one in each temple, the woman was shot once, in the head. They've danced all around McNair being married and just what his relationship is with this deceased babe.
.
It took the police two days to call McNair's death a homicide. They're toying with calling her's suicide.
.
Here's my question, would the police, and the MSM, be taking this careful, hands off approach if the players in this little drama were WHITE? If it was John Elway, would intel be dribbling out, or would "sources" be telling us everything as it became known?

So, McNair's GIRLFRIEND shot him, because she thought he was seeing somebody else. Maybe he was just going home to his wife, huh?
