The NFL has evolved to become a tribute to large black men with poor self control. What these man-child actors want is what they get. What they want is respect that they have not earned. Oh, their football skills deserve respect, but for the most part, not the man child himself. Bling, ho’s, pot, and fistfights are not enough. They have to throw shade on their benefactors to show it is not about America, sports loving fans with jobs who can afford a ticket, or the owners, that make them famous for playing a game. They want it to be about them.

Don’t forget the ultra-PC sports networks who enable their fame and/or notoriety.

Those overpaid babies listened to Obama who told them they were oppressed.

‘he NFL has evolved to become a tribute to large black men with poor self control.’

actually, nothing more needs to be said; this is why the NFL has lost its mojo...

Oh, their football skills deserve respect,

Why? They are playing a children's game that is completely and utterly irrelevant to our society.

You have actually pretty well captured the essence of street narcissism: the idea that you are deserving of respect and propitiation just because you can demand it, and swagger around the garbage piles.
