Why?
Do overpaid millionaire bring politics to sports?
They should just play the game that's what getting paid to do?

Why?
Do we talk about racism?
Just forget what happened in the past.

That's where the problem lies?

Notice, something that the two statements have in common.

It's racist based.

Cause many loves to eradicate into a dream world that doesn't exist.

Players, seem to be the ones able to create havoc for the world to see.

Ministers afraid to go against the grain.
Afraid followers might find another church.
Like many good ministers preach you can leave here for another church of faith.

And realize one truth.
There's no PERFECT church.

Jesse Owens stood up.
Jackie Robinson stood out.
Yes, athletes some not seeking attention or glory.
But leveling out that one group leads in avoiding their creation.

Let's not talk about racism.
Sound great!
Then it does pinpoint that group creating the hell from it.
Mainly for profit.

While many against a player focusing and losing his career for his principles.
Where were the haters when Nazis/Aryans/Klams rising up?

Afraid to be seen.
There lies the problem.

We center on things that don't spotlight our reason to seek the truth.

We sit and simmer and cry over the wrong thing.
When we should see injustice effects many every day.
