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.

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.”

Shaun King is successful in that he defrauds uneducated black folk

Where Did All the Money Shaun King Raised for Black Lives Go?

The most prominent face of the movement needs to explain how he spent millions he raised for causes from Haiti to racial justice across America.
