The problem here is not connecting the dots to the democrats who created racial divisuon when Obama through the abuse of his office and the “Bully Pulpit” began creating “victims” out of blacks engaged in criminal activities who were not just resisting legal arrest but responding by attacking legal authority and endangering their lives .
Until this get exposed along with its political purposes which was creating racial division and a impeachable proof barrier as the continung political discourse which has been expanded to include “white guilt” will continue.
When blame the cops for cold blooded killings started by Obama’s it was through his use of the Bully Pulpit. It began with his comments during the Zimmerman trial. Those inspired at least 10 deadly assaults ending in death of any non black who wandered near or in “hoods” controlled by members cf black ganags. One such noteable case is that of Christopher Lane an Australian murdered by Crypts while visiting Duncan Oklahoma. (I think the figure is more like 20 racially inspired murders)
Obama was never held accountable for his inflamatory remarks. And because he wasn’t he contunued hammering away creating a wider racial division targeting police authority which resulted in cops being targeted and murderd in cold blood.
THIS IS NEVER BROUGHT OUT WHEN THE NFL ACTION GETS DISCUSSED...
Angry Jesse Ventura reaction coming in 3.....2......
HA! I was JUST about to post this one from Daily Mail UK. Glad to see it here.
Taya is correct. These “men” should get UP OFF THEIR KNEES and do something REAL if they trulyl give a crap about their so called cause......
Personally, I’ll not watch a single football game this year as my protest as teensy-weensy as that may be.
I think a brilliant idea would be to boycott the NFL weekend of Sunday, Nov. 12 in honor of Veterans Day. How could we get this idea to go viral?????
You should have posted the entire letter. To me the remaining portion is quite important. She goes after the players:
It was simple - we loved you and you loved us - with all of our races, religions, different backgrounds and politics.
Simplicity in a crazy world was pretty awesome.
You dear NFL, have taken that. You have lost me here.
If you ever want to get off your knees and get to work on building bridges, let me know.
I have found screaming about the problems in service marriages or even standing in silence in front of them, hasn’t healed even one of them.
On the other hand, funding the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, building a team and rolling up my sleeves to get in the trenches during my ‘off time’ -volunteering there outside of my paying jobs - has proven to make real change.
You have a lot of strong guys, I am sure in the off season a lot of them could build some pretty big bridges if they care enough to do the hard work.
That would involve getting off their knees and getting to work though.
I can do it while I raise two kids as their only parent and work through the greatest pain of my life, let’s see if they can do it for the issues they say they care so much about.
Go Longhorns and Sic ‘Em …
Sincerely, Taya
wow.
She’s said it better than anyone else has. This is an amazing letter.
The problem we have is that we have equated participation in sporting events as some sort of social function worthy of religious adulation. The NFL has always been about money grubbing, whether it was the venal owners or the scumbag players, not about patriotism or moral leadership or anything else that people like this use flowery language to describe. I think the disrespect of the national anthem by sports teams is execrable and reprehensible, but I haven’t been one of those who threw large sums of my money at any professional sports team for tickets, concessions, and attire. Maybe vapid and shallow people who build their lives around the purchase of season tickets and sports gear will finally wake the hell up. Yeah, right...
The problem in the NFL is not going to go away anymore than the crime in Chicago will go away.
Your desire to focus on division and anger has shattered what many people loved most about the sport. Football was really a metaphor for our ideal world -- different backgrounds, talents, political beliefs and histories as one big team with one big goal -- to do well, to win, TOGETHER.
