Did Drew apologize realizing he could be in a dangerous place with unspoken 'bounties' placed on his head?
Good question....one that is very troubling to consider. Whatever truth there may be to that possibility is all the more reason to end our following and any association with that corrupt organization.

Second, the silliness of key players like Drew Brees thinking that by apologizing for their initial gut feelings and acting to embrace BLM, they're going with the flow, is boundless. And I don't mean to single out Drew Brees....he's just the first example that comes to mind because his story got more publicity. And by key players, I don't mean just on-field players. I mean owners, head coaches, and all others with prominent roles in sports.

My strong suspicion is that 90% of these guys share our disgust with allowing this racist plague to spread unabated, but feel that they're trapped in roles where they must "support" what idiots like Goodell tell them to "support". They think they're being good team players....think they're gliding down the highway when, in fact, they're slip-sliding away. Because the fans are the flow....we are the flow.

Thoroughly misguided as he is, Kaepernick could teach them a thing or two about courage. And that right there is pathetic.
No no no. You figure completely wrong. Bottom line, black players have become very sensitive to recent events. White players through conversation with their black team-mates show understanding and support. That is the way it works in sports.

So they go out looking for people to call themselves victims and use them to attack the power structures so they can take power for themselves.

That is the root of things, but at the BLM-NFL level of course you are right. This Critical Race Theory nonsense is racist by any normal person's definition and that is how most people see it. Two wrongs don't make a right, and any discrimination is immoral discrimination even if the target is Jewish or white

No, it's not. By attempting to frame it as such, you're just pushing the solution further down the road.

You think it's possible or likely that say one of his O linemen lets someone slip by from the blind side, "Oops, he got by me, sorry."

Do your teammates truly 'got your back'?


Or are there other lines?

I am doing no such thing, read the second paragraph. I don't expect the average person to educate themselves on the subversion going on by academia. I do expect, however, the average person to identify racism against non-blacks when they see it and call it out as wrong just like any racism

Saying the average person isn't aware of what's going on in academia isn't making the claim that he feels he is unique in understanding what's going on.

I think it's both: pushing communism AND pushing hatred of whites and all we have done for the world (despite our shortcomings).
