the world of immediate reaction is poisoning us. For Jenkins to so quickly speak of everything in the past tense is a good sign of this.

Get a clue, Pilot1. I didn't say I am quoting Brees. I am making a very straightforward observation that if the white leader of a mixed race team makes devastating racial remarks during a time of intense racial turmoil, it's likely that he can no longer serve as its leader.

The problem is not his talent but the turmoil he would create in the locker room. Look at the fiasco he created at his fairly recent "workout".

What a shame. Anything peaceful done is criticized. Anything violent done, understandably, is criticized. The message sent is simply that they don’t want to see or hear about the issue.

People are free to do what they want but, to me, all of the protesting is futile on these people overall. Speak with your money. Become a more insular community.

How about if I use YOUR TIME and MONEY to protest Abortion, support 2A rights, end Affirmative Action, stop the silliness of Man Made Climate Change regulations and taxes, etc.? You'd be OK with that, right?

Sure he could have filled in a spot on the depth chart. He knew thats what he was staring down. He came up with a better strategy. Kudos to him. At least he will be remembered now, and he is a lot richer than he otherwise would have been.

He made zero racial remarks. That's the point.

Aaron Rodgers isn't one of those denying racism and saying that black people should just quit whining about it. He cares, and he's willing to be part of a change. There are those who are invested in keeping things as they are, keeping minorities down, and those who see that as fundamentally wrong and worth changing. Aaron Rodgers is one of the latter, and so am I.

What is it with these people? They can’t take a little dissenting opinion?
