I hate ESPN political shite more than most but that speech was pretty decent.

They mentioned cops being killed, Orlando, black neighborhood violence, and asked athletes to use their influence to help rebuild violent communities.

Yeah, I mean I could have done without it, but if you're going to do it, that was decent enough. The only part that frustrates me - and this has more to do with the narrative than anything else - is the they continue to lump guys like Michael Brown and Alton Sterling with Philando Castille. The only thing those kind of cases have in common is the color of the vitcim's/perpetrator's skin.
