What if all the Black NFL players banded together for a particular social cause? And, let’s call that cause “Justice.” What if Colin Kaepernick, was seen as Rosa Parks was viewed some 63 years ago? What if we all got on board when it was time to ride and all got off as soon we realized we were just being taken for a ride?

In 1955, nearly 75% of the public bus passengers in Montgomery were black. In 2018, the NFL is nearly 70% black. The time for games were over then as they are today. The power of one is the power of many standing, walking, or kneeling as one.

The gains of today are because of the sacrifices of yesterday. The gains for tomorrow must be purchased with the sacrifices of today. Ali, Kap, Rosa... me? You?

Here’s an idea for my brothers whose power is actually greater off the field than on -whose power is acting as one.

What if you simply stop playing?

I assure you we would stop watching and start listening.

NFL Boycott + Social media = #Stopplayin’

Can you afford to do so? Can we afford to not to?

Know your worth. Know your power.

More than a legal motion. More than a movement.

More than a banner. More than a flag.

More than kneeling or taking a stand.

It’s all of these things and more...
