So I live in Dallas Ft Worth area and the local teams subreddits are full of people praising them for not playing out of protest. I know it’s just two days but I find myself less and less interested. I’m all for free speech and take a knee if you want to but the narratives are absurd. Painting America as some evil racist country is ridiculous.

Maybe the cops in the Blake and Floyd case weren’t totally in the right but the fact is that Floyd and Blake chose to put themselves in those situations.

As an almost 40 year old black guy I’ve been attacked for saying that maybe if we focused on the disturbing stats about black crime rates there wouldn’t be as many issues with cops. Or why not tell people to comply and not violently resist.

Finally it’s too bad the owners of these teams can’t say protest on your own time like my job would.
