    LOL. Thanks Brew. As I said Reptile, all you have to do is look. Not hard.

    So you can continue to be ignorant and bathe in your Fox News talking points, or you can open your eyes and see that many players are indeed "living the cause." Your choice.

People turn in for the bad news. That's why that stuff leads the newscast, that's why major crime and disaster stories lead the news for days and weeks on end. Because if it's all good news, people don't bother to tune in. Anyway, here's a few local stories from the off-season:



    So that's about 15-20 minutes of me looking around. I'm not going to do research all day for you, but this is the tip of the iceberg. There are stories from players on every NFL team if you take the time to find them. These guys are out in their communities, are working with children, the police, and politicians, are donating money to help with hurricane cleanup, they are doing a lot.
    Thanks for that research. I don't doubt there are some really quality human beings in the NFL that are really trying to make a difference. My question would be: Were any of these guys taking a knee? Again, almost impossible to research that. Don't think anyone could deny that many of the kneelers aren't doing anything to advance the cause outside of their demonstration in front of a camera.

    I suspect truth is somewhere in between all of this. Your position fails you with your talking points comment. You are not walking the high ground. Life is not all that simple.

    Every one of those guys is taking the knee. I used them specifically as examples of that. But I'm not going to spend my day looking up all 200 guys that (Edit) herosports.com listed.
