RACE AND THE NFL

CAL THOMAS COMENTARY JANUARY 4, 2022

        LAST SUNDAY I WATCHED AN NFL FOOTBALL GAME, SOMETHING I HAD PROMISED MYSELF NOT TO DO

BECAUSE THE VIRTUE SIGNALING ABOUT RACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE. I WANTED TO SEE THE GREAT

QUARTERBACK TOM BRADY PLAY AND HE DIDN’T DISAPPOINT. BUT THERE WERE SIGNS IN THE END ZONE

AND ON THE BACK OF SOME PLAYERS’ HELMETS. NOT ALL, BUT SOME. ANNOUNCERS ANNOUNCED THIS IS

PART OF THE NFL’S COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE OTHER BUZZWORDS.

        A SIDELINE SIGN SAID IT’S UP TO US TO ASPIRE TO THESE GOALS. THESE ARE MOSTLY MINORITY

PLAYERS WHOSE RACE AND EARNINGS ARE A MAJORITY IN THE NFL. THEY MAKE MORE MONEY PLAYING

FOOTBALL THAN THEY COULD ANYWHERE ELSE.

        RACISM IS ROOTED IN SIN AND JESUS CHRIST IS THE SOLUTION. MEANWHILE, IF THE NFL AND

GOVERNMENT WANT TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF MINORITIES, THEY WOULD WORK TO PUT FATHERS BACK

IN THE HOME AND MARRIED TO THE MOTHERS OF THEIR CHILDREN. THEY WOULD SUPPORT SCHOOL

CHOICE, ALLOWING POOR KIDS TO ESCAPE BAD SCHOOLS. AND THEY WOULD STOP THE

DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF BLACK WOMEN WHO ARE ABORTING THEIR BABIES.

        THAT WON’T SOLVE RACISM, BUT IT WILL IMPROVE MANY BLACK LIVES THAT SHOULD MATTER. I’M CAL

THOMAS.
