Support Colin Kaepernick by not supporting the NFL

I will boycott the NFL this season. I will not resume watching an occasional football game until they rehire Colin Kaepernick. He made a beautiful peaceful statement about police brutality on blacks in America. It is having a profound effect.

Remember, the NFL looked away when recently a famous player took a knee in favor of forced birthing. And as much as it is simply poetry to watch Tom Brady send a bullet, we need to be there for people of color on this issue.

Public display of resistance to a continuing egregious event must never be stifled. Otherwise there is no democracy. Join me in making basketball our national sport. And, support Colin Kaepernick by not supporting the NFL until Colin is hired.

The sport is dependent upon Nielsen ratings in determining how much beer, etc. is sold. It’s hard, but try to like volleyball.
