The gesture of support for racial injustice was something that was needed

Here’s a symbol for them

Sports athletes are quick to follow suit and speak out against police brutality and racial injustices as they should.👍🏼 They should equally speak out against the killing of Black kids due to criminal gun violence going on in cities across America but they refuse to.👎🏼

As Chiefs and Texans clash, the NFL embarks on a changed pathWith more than 6 million cases and more than 191,000 deaths in the United States, the NFL becomes the latest sports league to cautiously return to competition arenas. And it's not just coronavirus that has changed the football landscape. I’ll believe the NFL has changed course when Colin Kaepernick gets a public apology from the owners, and then gets a new qb gig,and not before. SpyderMama1 I wrote this song about how we're so focused on this deep social divide meanwhile our world burns before our eyes. Yea. What're a few 100,000 sacrifices in the name of the NFL.
