Jason L. Riley is a writer for the Wall Street Journal. I don’t know why I have to say what I am about to say to make his sentiments more valid but in today’s world I have to… Jason L. Riley Is A Black Person.
There, I said it.
Quotes from Mr. Riley’s article, I Used to Sit for the National Anthem Too, in the Wall Street Journal dated 9/27/17 are…
(I did the underlining. I apologize for all the underlining but there was a lot of text in this article begging to be underlined.)
“The players have said they are protesting the unjust treatment of blacks by law enforcement and cite the spate of police shootings that have come to light in recent years…the larger question is whether what is being protested has some basis in reality beyond anecdotes and viral videos on social media.”
“There is no national database of police shootings—some departments report more-detailed data than others—but the statistics that are available suggest that police today use deadly force significantly less often than in the past. In New York City, home to the nation’s largest police force, officer-involved shootings have fallen by more than 90% since the early 1970s, and national trends have been similarly dramatic.”
The following is not Mr. Riley but Mr. Fella…
Ø It makes me wonder why all these football “heroes” are stirring up all this consternation.
Ø I wonder if any of these football “heroes” are wondering while they are protesting, “What the heck am I protesting about?”
If they read my Blog they might just be wondering about what I am wondering about.
Mr. Riley’s best line in his article is…
“An increase in press coverage of police shootings isn’t the same thing as an increase in police shootings.”
Would I kid u?

Jason Riley, Thomas Sowell, Walt Williams are voices in black America that speak to the facts. A shame more of the black community doesn't pay more attention to them.

Fella, if a fan bought very expensive tickets to attend a musical concert / Broadway show, when the curtains go up the fan should not be forced to sit through demonstrations that he/she might not agree with. The same applies to the NFL. The players are paid to play and if they want to demonstrate, do it on their own time.
