Most of my African American friends are very successful, very educated, and don’t play football. They also give a lot of their time to causes to help people. I don’t say this in any way as a criticism of black football players, in the least. I just don’t think this is about race. People are just tired of the politicization of sports and entertainment. Life is hard enough without bringing politics into the things (sports, movies, etc.) that many of us use to escape from the problems of the world.
Let them think what they like, while we keep boycotting the NFL. It’s working.
I watch Ivy League football when I can. Slower, more fundamental. A lot of white guys not that athletic. It’s like “I can’t catch this ball over the middle. I’ve got a chemistry mid-term coming up.” Better yet: “I can’t make this tackle. I’m going to be a surgeon.”
