Got it....  thanks 

As I said,  my  beef is  with the  NFL who is allowing these players to  hi-jack the NFL platform -  ,,, if  my  comment regarding the reputation of elite superstar athletes being known for more than athletics -  I  didnt  specify that  they  were black or white-  

Very similar to  idiot movie star celebrties.... I dont  consider meryl streep very coherent when  she babbles on...  

I  cant really discern what the  NFL protests are about ... other than police treatment of blacks. but , it  feels  like  its  morphed into anti-Trump movement.  I  just  dont  know.  

I dont like to see NFL players hi-jack a  paid for event as a platform to make their point.  ( the point being really obscure) no matter the validity of the point, this is  not  a  free speech issue- The  NFL is  endorsing the  players actions  and I  hold the  NFL accountable. Why they refuse individuals  wanting to commemorate 9/11 or police deathsbut and allow this  type of divisive behavoir says a lot about NFL organization. (I read it as  weakness rather than political) 

Anyway, If  I  pay  $8.50 to go see  a movie - there is  no  free speech right  for  someone to get up and start protesting. The  NFL will suffer and  sadly, race relations will only  get more  strained than  ever  ,,, if  thats  possible.

I am not  going  to say what the  black  community needs because thats not for  me to  say but I will suggest that superstar elite athletes ---- arent  known for much other than  1.being  rich 2. running fast, catching, etc. 3. drug use 4. domestic violence

Not really taking a  side yet, but Blair  WHIP 1.35 is good enough to beat the Phillies.  Neither team really hitting , but I would  not be  surprised if ATL put together a minor win streak
