Football players should leave politics alone

I hear what you're saying. But you elected a moron. One with no moral compass or clue as to what he's doing or saying.
One hopes ! At least THAT might make his behaviour/actions understandable !

You currently have a very poor police-citizen relations because of recent events; although i notice that's being kept pretty quiet.
Plus, race is STILL an issue when it comes to poverty;crime;imprisonment numbers;housing;welfare;etc.

The irony of multi-million dollar-lucky-draft-picks demonstrating isn't lost on me !
I mean i doubt many of them queue up at food banks or night shelters to help out !

But many of them must be taking heat from those in the areas they play for who have been affected by this.

And why should you be immune from folk letting you know how they feel ?

@CoxswainOtter I hear what you're saying. But where does that leave those in those exhalted positions ?

You either have a social responsibility or you don't.
but the idea that the national game should be 'above such things' is a nonsense.
