Baldbrotha we all were entitled to our own opinion. I personally like my sports without any kind of message attached to it. Just give me the game without any kind of message.
As for your remarks about me making a joke of those who have died because of the color of their skin I dont see it that way. I see people dying because they dont comply with lawful orders giving by law enforcement. I personally have yet to see video of the police killing anyone who complied with their commands. There might be some out there that I am not aware of but I have yet to come across any. The closest was the murder of George Floyd. I say murder because that is what happened to him. He was murdered. I cant say it was because of the color of his skin or not I have no idea what was going on in the mind of the cop who killed him. I can also say that had he complied when the police arrived he would be alive right now. Does that mean I support the police killing him. No. I do not nor does any decent human being I know. However I do wish he had complied from the start so that none of what transpired since would have every happened.
As crazy as it might sound I support law enforcement and feel they are getting a raw deal. I have known a lot of cops over the years and the large majority of them were/are good people. I like law and order. I want the prisons full of criminals and the streets clear of them. I dont even like the thought of what things would be like if there were no law enforcement to keep order. So call me crazy but I think we need more cops with better salaries and bigger jails to house even more knuckle heads who dont comply with lawful orders giving by police officers. I want police to be able to use deadly force whenever necessary and am a proponent of non lethal force for those who are not armed yet still refuse to comply. Call me crazy but I think we are all better off no matter our race with a well armed and trained police force.
Dont get me wrong I know there is racism. I have black friends who have been targeted by police just because they are black. I am sure if I were in their shoes I would be pissed off about it too. I just dont think defunding the police or looting and riots are the answer. There must be a better way.
I just want to watch sports and not have any message forced on me.
