A bunch of predominantly black guys throwing a piece of pigskin around and fighting over it to keep their family alive and well, while their owners make billions of dollars! The NFL and NBA are hugely racist. The fact that in these crazy high paying jobs, caucasians are 800% underrepresented versus the percent of the US population they comprise. I'd recommend to even it out, the NBA raise the goals to 14' so no one can dunk, make 3 pointers worth 4 and add a 5 pointer. And replace overtime with a spelling bee. What say the board?

RolyT Nosa, Damn right I’m sure. Been there, done that. In 1964, I was home on leave while being transferred to another base. The cops in Fort Worth stopped a friend and I of suspicion of being in altercation at a local bar. He was released but I was jailed for possible AWOL because I didn’t have my leave papers with me. In the morning I was picked up and sent to the jail at Carswell AFB. I called my Dad and he brought my leave papers to the jail. They released me.
But when I got to my next base, I got called by the First Sergeant about my altercation and arrest. I explained it to him what had happened and he agreed that it was a stupid deal but told me the military held their personal to a higher standard than in the civilian world. I found that to be true.
Heard of any military guys looting, rioting and burning? Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen are held to a higher standard than civilians.

I watched a whole lot of football yesterday (about 9 hours worth) and to be honest I didn't see or hear as much BLM stuff as I figured. The sideline reporters tried a few times around halftime, but the broadcasters didn't join in in the three games I watched.
Less than a dozen kneeling players out of a possible 1,484 with may teams staying in the locker room altogether.

"We use words like "honor", "code", "loyalty". We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to!"
