Threw away almost everything for pussy. Is he still even dating that Black Islam girl?

At this point, he's pretty much giving up on the NFL and trying to take a claim as a SJW grand champion, right?

He is in Ghana trying to find out more about his ancestors. Wonder if perception would change if he learned that they were slaves in Africa.
I'm sure he is avoiding the bad parts of the area and traveling with a guide who he paid well to keep him safe.
He reminds me a lot of an uncle I had growing up. Dude was proud as hell of his Iraq heritage, and would talk about it constantly. He went to Iraq inbetween the two wars, and never mentioned it again after coming back.

I wonder if he realizes there is a strong likelihood his ancestors were enslaved and sold by Ghanan slave traders?

If i got benched for Blaine Gabbert twice in two years I wouldn't celebrate the 4th either.

Airline carriers are flying to Africa every day.

He's not talented enough to be so forthright with his political agenda.

the owners never shut the hell up about their politics either. I wish they would stick to sports as well
Should you just have to stick to whatever your chosen career is, and not talk about politics at all to anyone?

A lot of this stuff looks like it was approved by the players. Let's give the players a little credit and say that adults can make their own decisions.

Well at this point I guess he might as well keep rolling down these tracks because I don't see anyone wanting to bring him in.

The sad thing is he'll just become your next Jesse Jackson type, with his pockets getting filled by capitalizing on the actual plights facing the African American community instead of actively trying to address them.
You assuming he'll stop trying to do good just to get money speaks more about you than it does him, wouldn't you say?

If he had voted I'd agree with you. I can completely and utterly disagree with him, but it does take some balls.
But they choose to speak out and the most inappropriate times that make everyone completely write off what they say, so any good they do, goes unseen.
BLM supporting Mike Brown. Kaep wearing pig socks, disbarring the 4th of July. All those things will immediately make the rest of America tune you out entirely, no matter how much good you may have to say or do otherwise. They're just going about it all wrong IMO.

Oh boy

Doesn't that say more about those that tune him out than him?
Doesn't that admit that those he is trying to reach will not listen unless it's on their terms?
That's exactly why they do it...why does it have to be on their terms?
Human rights ain't a negotiating. Sadly, our history has treated it as such

The apparent self indictments by the majority in these cases always make me lol.
