NFL players also sacrifice their lives-- for rich white guys!

I'm listening to the trumpites regurgitate his BS about "disrespecting our troops". This has NOTHING to do with them. It has to do with one line in the "Star-spangled Banner": "the land of the free". When blacks are being executed--on the streets-- by police-- and there are NO CONSEQUENCES that line is empty and meaningless. The knee is the sign of respect, with a silent protest, in the way of MLK

The trumpites talk about "These guys who make $11 million bucks a year or whatever.." --that is a racist dog whistle: "these n------rs". that's just a fact! These kids represent the cream of the crop of millions of young black men for whom professional sports is the only path out of the ghetto (besides being a drug dealer). Most high school and college athletes will never make the pros. They might have a year or two before they are broken by the brutality of the game. They will likely have dementia by the time they're 35 from all the concussions. They are making a fortune for the WHITE team owners. These kids deserve every penny they make, and they are making a HUGE sacrifice for it.
