Its all BS. Just make sure you have a gun or get one.

To be clear I support the notion that change is needed and police abuse does occur. It less racial than people think although that does exist along with discrimination. But a movement that could have united people has been hijacked and turned into a political movement that will get no results.

Yes, in fact I have turned to other hobbies, which is why I’m starting to care less and less about the NFL. I have been shooting/golfing and watching MMA much more. I used to compete in MMA and am now looking to get back into BJJ. Also, considering joining a political group for this upcoming election... plenty to keep busy with on top of work.

Yep, the police thing is an everyone issue. Agree. Most cops are good but there are clear abuses and it impacts everyone.

Thats cool, I'm looking at shotguns now so I can start shooting.

I pray for the day we can all treat each other as brothers and sisters. Racism is not inherent, it’s taught. In today’s world it’s not only taught, it’s promoted at the expense of each other’s understanding of one another.

Sean Payton said publicly that letting Jenkins go was the worst decision he's made. Bringing him back might be his second worst decision.

I doubt that seriously. I expect Jenkins to be a major playmaker this year.

Yeah, guys who publicly attack their own QB and create a major distraction are all good, as long as they can make some tackles.

And he's also approaching the proverbial hill, football-wise. He might even be over it.

In a few years time, Payton will be saying letting Vonn Bell go was his biggest mistake.

He can never get it right when it comes to Defense.

Watching people who should be allies attack each other makes me sad.

Knowing the strings are being pulled by a very few, with no vested interest in our well-being makes me angry.

Seeing the blind rage form based on "red team" v "blue team" makes me lose hope.

It's time to stop letting other dictate our future.
