Trump’s declares war on NFL 9-25-2017

25, September 2017            Trump’s declares war on NFL

While many parts of the country, are still recovering from devastating floods, Trump found the time to criticize Colin Kaepernick and declare war on the NFL with his juvenile tweets. It was classic Trump playbook egging on his supporters, blessed with white privilege, to voice their racist rants. It was revealed that while Trump directed his ire at predominantly black athletes with slurs he defended the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Va., as “very fine people.”

Black athletes are the modern gladiators of American sports. Sports are the few opportunities that offer them an escape from poverty. They sacrifice their bodies to punishing pain for the enjoyment of predominantly white fans. 

African-Americans have every right to voice their outrage over police brutality and daily humiliations living in a very oppressive society which has been made infinitely worse by Trump’s racist taunts. The American flag is not a symbol of pride for those living under such oppression.

Colin is an icon on and off the field. This is the man who helped to organize relief supplies to famine-stricken Somalia and invested his time and money to needy communities back home. Trump is the quintessential anti-Christ who seeks to destroy Colin’s reputation. Those who choose to remain silent in the face of injustice, like the majority of Republicans are un-American, whereas Kaepernick and his fellow-travelers are the real American heroes.

Let’s us hope the loud protestations of the NFL league follow through and offer Colin his rightful place on the field.
