[Tell It Right]

And the player who died a patch of his hair red, white, and blue weeks ago talked about his upbringing overseas as a U.S. military brat (I believe his father was in the Air Force) and being raised to love God and country because it's the best country on the planet.

If we're gonna throw shade (as we should) on the athletes who use their celebrity status to diss America and whites and such, then we ought to atta-boy the ones who push the kind of messages we want our kids and grandkids to hear.

Do you know where to find that interview?

Amen - as an AF brat myself, that was my experience as well: when you move every 2-3 years, there’s no time to be a bigot. We were all in it together and skin color and ethnic background didn’t matter.

Many FReepers would like nothing more than to assume that each and every one of these players and coaches are nothing but soy-eating, America-hating homosexuals that play a pansy-ass lame sport that is so boring yet they take their time to comment on the threads.

Me? I hate bicyclists who insist in breaking rules of the road when it suits their fancy. I don’t go on the bicycle threads to comment though. Everyone has their own interests. The people on FR who hate soccer are entitled to it, but it is fatiguing to have to watch their posts with every soccer thread that is posted.
