Not really been paying attention to this, but anyone with two eyes and ears knows the crime rate of blacks is astronomical. That is an undeniable
fact. If any faction of society should be protesting, it should be the other way around.
Regular working class black people would not do what these athletes are doing because they've got families to support and can't just piss away their jobs. It's the same for all people around the world. You tell your boss to go pound sand on company time and you get shown the door fast AF.
These players, like everyone else, will only do so much. When their check gets on the line, they'll hop back into attention and stand straight as a rail... b/c if it gets to that point, they know they'll be replaced and there goes the free lifestyle. So this, of course, has it's limits. There are a whole legion of players that are chomping at the bit to get one fifth of what these players make.
It's also a good thing these players have no experience in a foreign third-world country where the corruption of cops is not something to joke about. They'd be begging to get the treatment of U.S. cops in a heartbeat.
Any cop knows this video explains the whole issue. Try that in some countries I've been to and you get acquainted with the bottom of a ditch or buried alive.
