I am woke! Nothing will get me back. They should also address the obvious black privilege in the NFL and NCAA. Guys like Jordy Nelson weren’t allowed to play until everyone on the bench got hurt. Had to be walkons in college. No invites, no help whatsoever. Zach Zenner...breaks the all time college record with 3 straight 2,000 yard sessons rushing...not even drafted. Leads the NFL preaseason in rushing yards after the Lions pick him off the scrap heap....end of the bench! Has a great playoff game after the rest of the backs got hurt. Now he doesn’t even dress for games! NFL has story after story of these guys.

This is the story; playing a game for money is a privilege, and however you slice it, there are many others of equal or better talent that can take any player’s place, and we know it.
The owners could easily replace the thugs no matter what community agitator stirs them up, but they don’t, because they agree. The other players could easily clobber the thugs, but they don’t, because they agree.
Now the push is on to force us to agree, and I expect to see every irrational tactic from appeal to loyalty (despite the obvious hypocrisy) to name calling of every -ism under the sun, social media censorship, MSM blackouts, you name it.
