Why on MLK day are Federal-County-City offices closed yet sports are played? IMO, those who are not honoring this mans legacy are the ones guilty of being Racists! My answer to your question.....
If the bank says no business, why is anyone doing business? Money, Money, and more Money
1) The workers are b/c they are being honored by being paid not to work!
Do you really believe a Goverment worker needs another Paid Holiday? BTW......... MLK isn't paying for this day off for the above employee's... you are! it's called payroll tax.......As someone above mentioned, we need somebody to stand-up and speakout against how/where the system is headed! When anyone is paid 2x's above the poverty line they should/could for starters pay their own Health Insurance and still survive but.......
2) The players whom I might say are the majority of MLK color fail to recognize if not for him where would they be today! Great way to show your respect not honoring this Holiday? I'm sure someone will say by their playing that is their way of showing how grateful they are but
