Problems with police, yes I get it, and color is not the only factor these days.
Taking it to stage during the national anthem is compleate bullshit!
I go beyond calling it bullshit.
I call it chickenshit and hypocritical.
Theres a reason it's called the national felons league. Those felons arent setting an example for the youth who look up to them.
Yes, there are examples of some players working with inner city at risk youth, but it's not a huge number.
The kneeling protest, to me, is a knee jerk reaction, a lot like a snake handler on a bourbon street corner, yelling at people during mardigras...
The kneelers didnt lose a single dollar, they still play and get paid, they dont lose or give up a damn thing, and not a single one got/gets beat up on the Edmund pettus bridge or shot off a Memphis balcony. They dont give up shit to make a change.
If they had a set of balls, they would walk out of the stadium announcing they wont play that night and why.
Yes, that would really bite their ass worse, but it would show way more than hypocritical posturing.
Them kneeling and doing nothing else is about as effective as lindsay Lohan and Charlie sheen protesting and the karshardiwhores caterwauling and posturing. Cant hide trash......
It's a shame trash is more important than values.
The cities the nfl play in want the $ and their gravy train. The city machine wants the $ more than fixing the real problems.
The at risk murders are a huge problem and ignored except calling for gun control, kinda like kneeling, useless, except to stir up people.
The at risk violence, the lack of at risk available jobs, the lack of intervention programs, ignored, but police retardardation is blown out of proportion. And the cities involved dont do a whole heap to fix the retard shit inside the police because political appointees run the police and create the "line" the city wants run. It's not in their long term interest to stop police retardardation, collateral damage and at risk murder and crime is ok, as long as THE $ keeps coming in.
Just for shits and giggles, it would be real interesting to see the at risk families march on the nfl stadium, block the gates, close down the game , while demanding a change and a fix..
Then we would see a real change.
The wrong people are protesting and the ones needing to protest are laying down sheep.
Just my useless opinion and rant off.
Sorry guys.
