Stephen Hauschka explains why it's important for white people to understand racial inequality

During a rally in Alabama, Trump said he would love to see NFL owners start to cut any players who protest by kneeling during the national anthem.

it's safe to say that one person who doesn't agree with the view is Bills kicker Stephen Hauschka. During an interview with the Buffalo News this week -- before Trump made his comments -- Hauschka said that he would like "to do more" to help everyone understand why many black players in the NFL are kneeling during the anthem.

"I think a lot of white people don't understand it and are afraid to be involved," Hauschka said. "And I think it's important for white people to see there is inequality everywhere in the country right now, and in the world."

These NFL players generally make more money on their coffee breaks than I ever did in my best working years & they want to talk to me about inequality? I can’t hear them.

[owner of ESPN] Disney needs to remember that the culture of sports is fundamentally celebratory and unifying, not divisive. - Holman W. Jenkins

He did not add that Democrat politics is precisely the inverse of that.
