Let me take a break from celebrating with my family to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to My Fam at The Root!

So friends, I was there. I booed. We were all ready for it. Woman in front of me had an “IMPEACH 45" shirt on, another man had a shirt that said “End Windmill Cancer.” Around the 4th inning of every Nats game, they do a salute to troops who are attending the game, they roll the camera to the service men and women, and…

Dear White Folks:

every cold case involving a black murder victim in that county country needs to be reopened and investigated now.

Seriously, which one of them is 32?

So law enforcement helped cover up the murder. Right now there needs to be a full investigation of that police department and every cold case involving a black murder victim in that county needs to be reopened and investigated now.

If he didn’t want people asking about his political affiliation because all he does is throw a football, he shouldn’t have made his political affiliation public knowledge.

Why are you talking about rights? I have the right to criticize Brady for being a feckless little coward, do I not?

So now people who are asking him a question about a topic he voluntarily inserted himself in are infringing on his rights and persecuting him?

So what relevance is your argument that humans change their minds?

Ah, you can tell how his refusal to answer them has made them go away by the fact he keeps getting asked them. Brilliant argument.

Oh, so I suppose Brady was taken off guard that there would be cameras and reporters with eyes around his locker?

Endorsing a candidate for political office, whether you are friends with them, is a political statement. If he wasn’t willing to defend or reject Trump’s actions, he shouldn’t have publicly endorsed him.

He made it our business by publicly endorsing a certain candidate. That candidate is in power now and actually doing things. If he wasn’t willing to stand by him, why the fuck did he publicly announce his support of him?

I want him to answer questions he is asked about whether he continues to support Trump and Trump’s actions. He endorsed him publicly. Nobody asked him to do that. He owns it, and should act like it.

How much clearer can I be.

I didn’t demand he state his political beliefs. He CHOSE to publicly state them. He is a Donald Trump supporter. I didn’t know that because I’m a mind reader, I know it because he insisted on making his beliefs known in a very public manner. I am doing nothing more than insist he defend the beliefs he chose to express…

Then he can actually distance himself by disavowing his previously expressed support. As it is, he’s trying to play both sides against the middle by refusing to do so and pretending to be apolitical. But any pretense at being apolitical died when he put the hat of a presidential candidate in his locker and publicly…

He publicly supported a man who ran a campaign of bigotry and divisiveness, and is now governing the same way. Why does he think his support of him was welcome in the public sphere if he doesn’t think he should be held to account for that support?

Say what you want about Colin Kaepernick, but when he made an overt political statement, he answered questions about it. Hell, since “balance” is so important, I’ll say even old Curt Schilling is willing to engage criticism about his expressed political beliefs.
