NFL Players, Listen Up!

I think these fools who kneel and claim it's because of injustices in America are similar to Trump. They don't realize they work for the public and NOT the other way around.

Trump needs to wise up that he is an employee now. As are the NFL players. If society doesn't want them to kneel during the fucking National Anthem, they better get their asses up. It's called business. And I realize they may feel they are exercising their rights as an American to express their views, but don't be surprise if no one feels the same sympathy. Or rather, keep religion and politics out of sports. Conversely, Trump better stop whining about the people who hate him. They are still one of his bosses. He's more than likely throwing a fit because he's use to being the boss. He isn't. We are. For the most part, he is voicing the views of America. The one that has been sick of the politically correct wave. In that sense, he needs to be a little less abrasive in approaching his other bosses. The ones that don't like him.

A friend expressed to me one time that he believes I am politically a coward. That I refuse to stand up for the rights of Americans who do kneel for the injustices. To me, there are two ways to view this...they can express themselves outside of organized professional sports and I doubt they'd get that much heat over it. Or they jeopardize their financial future and become poor and blame Whitey again. That is the problem with Black NFL players. They have a deep sense of pride that should be shed in light of a few facts...most likely didn't graduate with practical knowledge of the real work force. Have no interest or skill that would pay them as much as a pro athlete.

I'm surprise these facts haven't been brought up. And my defense is that they shouldn't hurt themselves over something that will eventually take them back to where they were before. It's a pragmatic approach rather than an emotional one.

I get it, after a few seasons, you do feel awful about being rich pro athlete who STILL gets pulled over by cops because you're Black in a nice car. But those moments versus being able to support your family. The balance is tough. Mentally tough. Can you face your family knowing you "shuck'd and jive'd for the man"and still accept his paycheck. Frustrating, indeed. And it is a vulnerable spot to some women who find drama and tap into it when times go downhill. Be strong. The best solution would be to take your paycheck and go off and live a smaller life. With dignity. It seems most can't get over the adrenaline of sport. Much like Trump can't get over the adrenaline of deals. Both are knee deep in pride. But as once been said, "pride comes before the fall."
