In the scheme of things whether this guy plays or not is very insignificant.

September 23, 2014 Cameron Tillman, 14 years old was shot by a black police officer and died. Not one protest. Not one demonstration. Not one act of compassion by BLM or any black person in the city where this transpired.

Black lives only matter to blacks when a white perpetrator is involved. Not one black poster on Tiger Rant protested this killing. BLM movement is divisive and promotes an us vs them mentality and destruction.

The city where this shooting transpired ? Houma, Louisiana

Screw Eagles and his fake racial injustice bullshite.

A statement that sounds pretty good today, but watch where he is when the season opens.

We strive as a society to administer justice and fix injustices. But there will always be some crazy people out there and there will always be some injustices. No nation will ever be injustice-free. Although we have our challenges in America, many don't realize just how good we have it.
this is entirely correct, and it’s how most regular folks feel.

We have a country of 330 million. There will always be idiots, lunatics, and racists who do bad things. But it’s isolated individuals, not an ingrained systemic problem like it was 70 years ago.

Yes, of course we should try to weed out the bad apples, but painting the country as horribly racist because of an idiot in MN and a couple rednecks in GA ( all of whom have been charged with murder) and burning down the country is absurd.

Nothing of what we are seeing now of this magnitude was done when we lost one of our own Wayde Sims.

So I’ve come to the conclusion it’s all virtues signaling to appease the masses.

That idiot will play come football season. He's in his money making year and is just caught up in the emotion right now.

Ehlinger is his last year, so this is Eagles best shot to make himself look good. Did wonders for Duvernay who was considered to play second fiddle to Collin Johnson prior to last year at Texas.

No telling how far this young man will go without the burden of structure, discipline and regimentation.

I really wish blacks cared about the thousands of other blacks that are murdered by their own kind as much as they did the comparably minute amount of lives lost to non black perpetrators.

Of course it is. In the last week, I’ve received boilerplate emails from just about every company I’ve bought something from over the last 10 years... all using the same trite catch phrases and meaningless platitudes. They all have to or else they’ll be branded unsympathetic or worse.

Very few intelligent people actually give a crap about any of this because they know the statistics don’t support the narrative. It’s nothing more than election fodder.

Well this approach will definitely help the black and brown communities recover from centuries of racism and inequality.

If anything, play harder, earn more, and use that to make a difference. People aren't using their brains.

I love that we're getting to the Carver vs. Dubois debate about 120 years later.

Really? I have gotten zero emails about this from any commercial org.

I'm assuming you bought something online from Amazon before. Would you mind sharing their email? I haven't seen one.
