Black Conservative View on the NFL Players Protest

NFL Players Protesting
NFL players can choose to protest the police misconduct, social injustice, and racism experienced by Black Americans in any manner they choose. And the owners of the teams have the right to discipline the players according to their contract even to the point of releasing them. 

President Trump can voice his opinion until he’s hoarse, it is just hot air. This is a private matter that is to be resolved between the owners and the players who have an agreement between their association and the owners.

True NFL Fans will Continue to Watch
Those of us who are true NFL fans will continue to watch the games and enjoy doing so. It is an opportunity to relax and have fun – the politics, in this instance, can easily be ignored. 

The players are still playing hard and trying to win. The blocking and tackling is the same as when I started watching the game over 63 years ago.

My Experience as a Black Man
I am a Black man and an Army veteran who both served his country and experienced racism ever since birth. 

My parents were born in the Deep South under the vile and disgusting system of Jim Crow perpetrated by the southern Democrats, including being terrorized by the Klu Klux Klan, Knights of the White Camelia,  and other white supremacist terrorist groups. 

Then after moving to Chicago they experienced racism in the most segregated city in this country dominated by the white racist Democratic machine. This is the environment in which I was born and raised.

Again, I support the NFL players who desire to express their concerns about police misconduct, social injustice, and racism that is still a part of the social fabric of this country. And, I will continue to watch the NFL games as I always have.


I also hope that the NFL players will take the next step and support the organizations, financially and otherwise, that are fighting against police misconduct, social injustice, and racism.

Looking forward to the 2018 NFL season.
