WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT

I can think of a few things that will have us all wondering what this nightmare is all about.

When I was a kid the craziest thing going on was happening in sports.

I remember baseball was all about stealing bases, and now its about the home run.

Basketball was brutal, everybody was trying to kill each other for going into the paint, and now the 3 pointer is the highlight every night.

Football was crazy fun to watch. Watching receivers catch passes and drop to the ground when Ronnie Lott was in the area was fun to watch.

Now it's more like tag. This one bothers me the most. Although I understand the satiety issue they are still only looking to protect the Quarterback. What about the receivers?  They do matter as well. But the reality is that the bottom line is the QB is the cash cow. The NFL is really going away fast, and if they don't  get it together soon, it will be sooner than later.

Not to mention showing how racist they are based on allowing abusers to remain in the league, while they collude with players that perform peaceful protests. The funny part is that they are crazy enough to continue this abuse of power feeling repercussions are no where in sight, and from the looks of it they may be right. But I will never take silence as weakness.

STAY TUNED!

KHALIL MACK - THE MAN IS A BEAST

Kahlil Mack is the man. Well sometimes when you are having a pissing contest you have to be realistic when the chips fall. Jon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders refused to budge to get this man signed and decided to trade him instead. I must say that the picks they received in return is a build for the near future, but Mack was a cornerstone of the Raiders PERIOD.

They gave Gruden $100 million when his last season in the league wasn’t steller. This was a hype signing, all the Raider fans always loved this man, but I’m curious to know how they’re feeling after losing Mack. Not only did they lose him, but they also lost their first two games of the season.

This is still a wait and see for me……….

THE TRUE MEANING OF BEING BLACK

I truly love my blackness and yours. this is something we all need to say more than once a day. My children and grandchildren will know what it is to be black, the good and the bad.

This story has to be told because the book that is being written in the media along with what the government feels about us is only half the story. I have had many run-ins with cops and racist people and guess what? I'm still standing. You want to know why? Because I know what it is to be black.

I remember riding in a white neighborhood with a white friend that lived there and I saw a police car to my left while I was heading south to the freeway. I looked over at my friend and told him "I'm about to get pulled over" he with a quick response he replied "no you're not" not even two red lights later I was pulled over for speeding. I just looked at the officer without saying a word when my friend told him I wasn't speeding.

I gave him my licence and about 5 minutes later he returned and had the damn nerves to tell me to slow down. Because we had a 35 minute ride ahead of us we were able to have a sensible conversation about race. Although he was shaken and in shock, that day had given him a perspective of what it was like to get pulled over based on the color of your skin. This is something that we go through all the time and getting used to it is not an option.

KAEPERNICK IS THE FACE OF NIKE AND THE NATION

  When looking around the internet all you see is haters.

Colin Kaepernick has been assigned a campaign by Nike for a full rollout and all the so called flag lovers are burning all their Nike gear claiming to be angry. If this was really about the flag then:

1. He hasn't kneeled since he was blackballed from the league.

2. Instead of burning all this stuff, why don't you all donate it to the homeless veterans.
  That still hurts to say out loud or on paper.

Since the rollout Nike has been winning. Up 31% in sales and they are still unbothered. The funny part about all of this is the sales will continue to sore. The NFL has committed to Nike for the next 10 years so there's a two edge sword.

This just make me laugh everytime I think about that. This proves that for the NFL its not really about be patriotic it's about the bottom line- THAT MIGHTY DOLLAR
