Again, there's a time and place. If he hated on cops on Twitter or Facebook, he may have lost some endorsements, but fans wouldn't have stopped watching the games. When you hijack an event and subject a captive audience to a political message, you cross the line. If I go to a home rebuilding seminar, I don't wanna hear a diatribe about abortion from pro-lifers. If I go to a Springsteen concert, I don't wanna hear a 15 minute lecture on the evils of the GOP. Has Kaep tried picketing outside a police station? That would seem to be a good (and logical) place to start.
Kaep is an idiot so I'm not going to even acknowledge that buffoon. As for the rest, what you're saying makes sense in theory but it's not that easy.
As I've said, if they rally in their local communities or even go down to City Hall, it makes for newspaper talk but soon after it's all forgotten. But notice how what they are doing now is in the news every single day and is forcing people to both confront and talk about this issue?
Look at how often we're talking about it here.
So I'm not saying football is the perfect platform, I'm simply saying that if you go back through history, you'll find that certain groups have to go to great lengths to get people to pay attention to what's going on.
BLM are reverse-racism morons that should be wiped off the planet. So them hijacking freeways and burning down businesses does nothing but make people take an even firmer stance against them. So what option does that leave honest people from the black community who genuinely want their cries for equality and social justice heard?
Use the best peaceful platform available to them to shove it in people's faces.
That's what they are doing now, and I can completely understand it even if I don't completely agree with it.
