The league, in its efforts to try to “bail out” the players and the players association, has not accomplished anything but hardened more people against the league.
The act of “I’m sorry we didn’t know we were putting down the flag and those that gave so much to defend it,” didn’t float because it was disingenuous (for those of you in San Francisco that means a lie). Putting them in the locker rooms for those that didn’t want to participate in a proper flag ceremony didn’t work because they couldn’t get their “point” across without having to actually talk to someone of authority as they are cowards and can’t be up front about their complaints.
Let the league be recognized for what it is being used for. An opportunity to try to point out the mistakes or unlawful acts of a series of racial situations when one not mentioned is killing their own faster than it can be accomplished in their complaint.
Mathew 7:3
Contemporary English Bible Version
“You can see the speck in your friend’s eye, but you don’t notice the log in your own eye.”
Luke 4:23 (King James Version):
And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
The phrase alludes to the readiness and ability of physicians to heal sickness in others while sometimes not being able or willing to heal themselves. The players are able, they just aren’t willing. They don’t have the integrity to admit being wrong, being guilty or just plain stupidity. And they are being paid millions of dollars yearly that most people will never see in their entire lives. To play a game.
