Herschel Walker, a Heisman Trophy winner and member of the College Football Hall of Fame who went on to play twelve seasons in the NFL, posted a video on Twitter on Sunday taking American professional sports leagues to task for their approach to Black Lives Matter.
“America wake up,” Walker says in his tweet, “if we love our Country, let’s speak up, stand up and protect it.”
“For the first time in a long time I stopped in the middle of my work-out because last night I saw something that really, really disturbed me,” Walker said. “I saw a bunch of people holding a BLM sign burning the Holy Bible, burning the flag of the United States of America, also burning the cross.
“And I started thinking,” he continued, “that NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB: Is this the people you are supporting right now, is it the movement, is it the organization, because I don’t think that’s right.”

Lives Matter!
If you need a color
in front of those words,
YOU are a racist.
Walker’s professional and personal interactions with Trump as a young man must have had a lasting positive effect on him.
Just waiting for the liberals to heap abuse upon him.
Just waiting for them to talk about his ties to Trump, because decades ago, Walker played for the New Jersey Generals of the U.S.F.L., on a team owned by Donald Trump.
We all saw it to, Herschel.
They should leave if they don’t like here.
And we should give them their reparations: a spear, a loin cloth and a free one-way boat trip back to Africa.
IF it weren’t for the “ball”, most of these useless POSs would be in prison orange picking up trash on the highways and byways.
Nazi book burners. True colors come out at last.
He waited way to late to post that. He should have posted that years ago, it will have no effect now.
Herschel and Bo Jackson are two of the greatest genetic freaks of all time.
Walker’s professional and personal interactions with Trump as a young man must have had a lasting positive effect on him.
That’s quite possible. If so that’s nice to hear.
I remember he was one of the top college players in the early ‘80s, and he chose to play for the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League, rather than going to the NFL at that time.
And that team was owned by Donald Trump.

Thanks for posting. You won’t find this in the MSM. This is good news and he is courageous for speaking up like this.
“For the first time in a long time I stopped in the middle of my work-out because last night I saw something that really, really disturbed me,” Walker said. “I saw a bunch of people holding a BLM sign burning the Holy Bible, burning the flag of the United States of America, also burning the cross.
“And I started thinking,” he continued, “that NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB: Is this the people you are supporting right now, is it the movement, is it the organization, because I don’t think that’s right.”
Walker has the courage of 10 men.
Important: Herschel calls out BLM for advocating Bible burning, flag burning and reckless behavior. Thanks Hersh!
A little less important, but still...: TO is NOT the same as TOO.
Also. LOL!
Really enjoyed the USFL while it lasted. Went to the first game in B’ham between the Generals(walkers team) and the Stallions. Doug Flutie was quaterback if I remember correctly. Stadium was packed. Oddly silent though.
Anyway. Donald Trump single handedly doomed the USFL. IMO.
USFL was supposed to stay away from players the NFL wanted to draft. Plus at the time the NFL wouldn’t take players unless they had exausted their College eligibility. Walker never played his senior year cause Trump took him in the USFL draft. So one thing led to another and teams got overextended with contracts and went belly up.
At least that’s the way I remember it.......
Yes, yes and yes. And the hell with each and every one of them.
Walker’s always been one of the good guys.
If you need a color in front of those words, YOU are a racist.
I need to get that on a T-shirt.
Is this now “woke” to their grandchildren?
Those who forget history (or was never taught to this generation by their lefty teachers) are bound to repeat it!
