The Issue of Colin Kaepernick


 My very first post on this blog was about sports...About my Eagles...This post...I'm not sure what number it is concerns my fraternity brother , Colin Kaepernick and is not so much about sports as it is social justice and fairness..

For Colin Kaepernick to be exiled from Football for seven years in his prime because of a symbolic kneel during the national anthem is clearly the height of absurdity and unfairness. He should have been brought back long ago. For this serious injustice, I would support his reinstatement along with generous back pay by the NFL.

My thoery has been that most of the owners are  wealthy white males , who tend to lean Republican and who were scared of Former President Trump's criticism during that time when Kaepernick was protesting.
He's no longer President... He's not even on Twitter and he's about to go to jail.... What is the excuse now?  Several teams could use at least a good back up quarterback...What's the excuse now for continuing to blackball this man?

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: There are times when I feel completely helpless to alter the circumstances in my life. I am powerless to turn around a bad economy, or ensure a favorable report from my doctor, or guarantee my spouse will always love me, or make sure I am never in an accident. When I sense that I have no control over what is occurring in my life, my energy lags and fear and frustration begin to overwhelm me. Let your spirit of peace spill freely over me until I recover my inner calm. Help me remember that it is not control that gives me peace, but knowing that I am loved and beloved by the heart of heaven. Amen.
