The Denver Donkeys issued a statement regarding their decision to take a knee during the National Anthem. Their decision to stand in solidarity with thugs who riot, murder cops, and generally have made a mockery of all the hard won accomplishments of the past fifty years has me fuming.
I know they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, but it is not hard to research history and know that it was republicans who forced nearly all the changes that have benefited blacks here in the United States. From the initial freeing of the slaves to desegregation, democrats opposed every thing and most republicans supported it.
Growing up, there were three teams I loved. The Vikings, I am after all from Minnesota, Denver, Three siblings moved there, and the Steelers for reasons I cannot explain, I just loved them. I don't buy much gear, so they are not losing a lot of money from me. The corporate sponsors? No more Bud, No more Lays, No more Pepsi, and no more Fords.
Their Twitter Shitter, my comments in italics.
Last week members of the Donks joined their brothers.... brothers??? around the NFL in a powerful display of disunity. OK, maybe unity with thugs who assault police, riot, deal drugs, and have created an organization based on lies about criminals who were brought to justice by extreme force because no other option was left but certainly not with the American public. It was an emotional time for everyone including the fans who used to support us each and every week. As controversial as it appeared, we needed to show our collective strength and resolve.
Our voices needed to be heard loud and clear. What about We the People??? you know, the ones who said enough of the BULLSHIT and elected an anti-establishment businessman instead of an Establishment crook?
Make no mistake, our actions were in no way a protest of the Military, the flag, or those who keep us safe. Kinda hard to tell when your actions spit in the face of the American people and desecrate the most basic symbols of this nation. We have nothing but the deepest love and respect for those who protect our way of life and the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. Yeah, right, the organization that Colon, and now you are supporting was started because the Gentle Giant Mike Brown was physically assaulting a police officer, you know, one of those who protect our way of life.
While there's no greater country, it's not perfect. How true, we still have democrats controlling several states who should be in prisons along with Barry, HiLlARy, Susan, Huma... the list is longer, but no point is there? Inequalities still exist, Like low life uneducated entertainers lecturing us about who, we chose as our President. and we have work to do in all form of social justice. Sorry, social justice is not compatible with our Constitution. We do not have the right to tell people how to think, or in your case to think period.
We can all do better. What you cannot do is anything worse. Then again, knowing what caliber of people are in the NFL, you will likely prove me wrong in short order.
It starts with us. No it does not. You are entertainers not intellectuals, and frankly, the intellectuals failings are why President Trump was chosen instead of any of the shit pile of stupidity put forth by either party. We need to do our part and use our platform as NFL players to continue driving that positive change. That would mean doing a 180 from your current trend, and you aint gonna even come close.
Our locker room is one diverse place, and that's what makes it so special. Nearly every business in America is as or more diverse than your locker room. It's where thoughtful, intelligent leaders from all different races religions and backgrounds come together. BWAHAHAHAHA thoughtful??? Intelligent???
We may have different values and beliefs, but there is one thing we all agree on:
We're a team and we stand together- no matter how diverse some comments and issues can be, nothing should ever get in the way of that. In the military we have a saying, GYHOYA Get Your Head OUT Your Ass
Starting Sunday, we'll be standing together. And I will not be watching because you should be standing in the unemployment line.
I'm not the only one who feels this way.
