Adam Schefter offered this little emotional play during an NFL pre-game show:
‘It’s time for everybody to choose their side….without hesitation we are choosing the side unity, CIVILITY and humanity.”
There you have it.
The unhinged reaction to Trump has evolved a few times in nine months and the virus of irrational thinking has spread to the NFL of all places.
If there's one sport where the fan base is likely to not accept all this faux-principled nonsense on display, it's them.
Worse, owners are getting in on the act. On one side you have owners, coaches, players and the media and the other fans and Trump.
I gotta tell ya, I like Trump's odds on this one. The demographics are definitely on his side.
It blows my mind how owners or companies find it wise to alienate any of their customers. The latest act by Jerry Jones yesterday. I run a company and NEVER get involved in politics. Ever.
I have too much respect for my clients. And to me, what Tomlin and the Steelers, and the owners are doing is disrespectful to the FANS.
No one cares about your sense of righteousness; especially on this issue where it's become clear it's just an anti-Trump diatribe.
Which is really too bad because police abuse and the need for reform just got sideswiped with all this noise.
It goes to show they don't think. No one sat back and said, 'hm. Am I likely to sway people's opinions doing this?'
The answer is no.
It's not. I'll tell you another sure way to turn people away (despite the thinking they're ignorant deplorables. It's the easy way out). Not sticking to the facts and obsessing over a narrative.
BLM and Antifa egged on by the stupid useful idiots in the media exist via narratives. Not facts. They rely on historical revisionism; not established and accepted history. They use violence; not the force of intellect to further their agenda.
Statistically, white cops aren't killing black people. In fact, they shoot white people more.
In both instances, violent police shootings are unacceptable and they should be held accountable. This was what reform hinged on before BLM came along. BLM are the ones that made it about one race and not about meaningful reform for all citizens.
Blacks may feel like they're profiled or targeted (which is something credible and legitimate black activists have worried about and sought to bring to the attention of citizens. Alas, it's absurd to tag an entire race and nation as 'racist'. Do people who do this not realize there will be push back? No one who is not racist likes to be called one and it's especially preposterous to be a white person and assume and make the same generalization. It's lazy and dangerous. Never mind about things like the war on drugs and decades of Democrat policies that have not helped black Americans. If black athletes truly cared they would look at those things. Trump is waaayyyy to convenient a scapegoat though) but statistically they will not pay for it with their lives.
This is the part that sends the narrative (all kicked off by Kaepernick in 2016 while Obama was President) into a tailspin in all its unproductive, divisive, symbolism where kneeling and raising fists by millionaire athletes leaves the average apolitical person rightfully upset. And this will push them into Trump's arms.
Statistically they don't have anything to back them up.
Once you get into the 'grey matrix sphere' you end up nowhere.
I don't know what the fallout (if any) will ultimately be. If there is one, I don't expect talking heads or ESPN who played their part to fairly and introspectively examine where the blame squarely sits. Lemme help you along. It's not with Trump who just flushed out the hypocrisy and faux-self-rigtheousness of people. Heck, I even expect virtue signalling to get more nauseating and insufferable at award banquets like the ESPYs. I can see pseudo-intellects like Shaun King or Jemele Hill getting an award for 'telling it like it is and making white people squirm and feel uncomfortable'.
All while enjoying a lifestyle and quality of life that's substantially better than the average American of any race or ethnicity.
It's all so brave to raise a fist as you bite into your fine food and ride off in your custom Ferraris leaving all folks living in the real world behind.
So Adam. Spare us your false choice and your blithering, blathering musings and DO YOUR JOB.
