Normally a celebrity or public figure's social-media-posting opinion on current events is worth exactly what you pay for it, but Benjamin Watson, tight end for the New Orleans Saints, posted a Facebook update with
his thoughts on the grand jury decision in the Michael Brown/Darren Wilson case in Ferguson, Missouri. It's been shared more than 161,000 times since he posted it 15 hours ago.*
Agree or disagree with Watson (and his ultimate conclusion), it's impossible to deny he's an eloquent writer, and
his entire opinion is well worth reading.
