NFL trumps Trump
It's a glorious day in America. In my mind I hear the black national anthem playing on repeat, "Lift ev'ry voice and sing,Till earth and heaven ring.Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise,High as the list'ning skies,Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won."
And if dozens of players, coaches and the NFL commissioner taking a stand, a knee, or a seat wasn't beautiful enough, racists are spitting mad. The sounds of their pitiful wails play quitely in the distance. After so many years of silencing others they now know how it feels to be silenced. Their loud mouth bullying didn't get the desired results.
A wise and insightful friend of mine (The Muse) theorized that Trump would god awful shit stain of a president that he'd inadvertently unify the world. Well there's still a long way to go but I'd consider this a teeny step forward.
