NFL To Allow Players To Wear Helmet Decals For Victims Like George Floyd et al

Will the decal show him holding a gun to a pregnant woman?

Just a reminder that they tried to fine Demario Davis for wearing a Man or God headband.

Yeah, that's not politically correct but deifying a convict like George Floyd is?

They'd done better keeping the politics out it - when I want to tap out, used to look to sports...

But now some over-privileged *ssholes want to lecture me about advantage, thrust their politics into my football time...

There will be an app for all this stuff. Let's viewers pick and choose what decals they want on players.

And they wouldn't allow the cowgirls to have decals honoring the Dallas officers that were killed a couple years ago.

I was coming through a shady neighborhood on a short cut back from the convenience store after dark. Blue lights came on and I pulled to the side where they came up with guns drawn and threw me on the ground and cuffed me while they searched my car and found nothing but candy. They were all apologetic and they were black and white cops that did that to me.

Not every white cop is a bad guy. I've known plenty of rugby players that were policemen who loved their black team mates. My twin brother and I took a keg to the black fraternity in college to recruit new rugby players. We became close friends with 5 of them and had them to my family home a lot where we taught them how to shoot. They became good shots with pistols very quickly and played damn good rugby. I don't see color.

Every race has it's fair share of racists though . I've seen racists cops from both races. Just like I've seen extremes from both races. From the KKK to the small percentage of blacks that are looting and rioting rather than peaceful protests that is the majority.

George Floyd was more a victim of himself than of the police.

This should be the national message. We are idolizing a man who recently robbed a pregnant woman at gun point. Black folks are picking the wrong heroes. That is the type of thing that has helped hold them back. Black men and women love to holler at the police.

Conflating two different things. Everything about George Floyd is about the day that he died. It would not have mattered if he was a serial killer earlier in his life. Nothing he did on the day he died deserved the torture and death he received under the knee of that police officer.

No unarmed, cuffed person deserves that treatment no matter who they are or what they did. That's what folks who are calling for change are motivated by.

He's not a hero. He's a victim.
