That the vast majority of NFL players take a knee starting tomorrow night. Not just for this occurrence, but for every occurrence across the U.S.

I am often chastised for this, but you want to see this shit end? Every black HS player should boycott the SEC and other Southern Schools. As teams from the Midwest and West start kicking the ass of the Southern teams they will move immediately away from racial profiling and election laws that penalize blacks.

The shit that could be accomplished in five years would be mind blowing.
