Taking "The Knee"

Post by LovelyLadyLux »

Don't know if you're aware of the latest action by sports players here whereby they kneel on one knee during the National Anthem. Apparently they're protesting police action against black people. I got this as a forward email but it is an interesting observation of their action of 'taking the knee.'

Personally IMO IF I was the owner of a sports team I'd consider them as my employee and them engaging in protests on my time wouldn't be looked at with favour. On their own time they could do what they want but NOT on my time at a sports event they were paid EXTREMELY DISGUSTINGLY well to play at.

This is the article:

Children raised in fatherless homes, especially black children, are far more likely than children raised in two parent homes to engage in criminal behavior and thus, have contact with police.
 
Ergo when they father a child with a woman to whom they are not married - or at least living with - they are contributing to the problem against which these football players are taking a knee.
 
If you look at many of these players' records on out-of-wedlock children, you find that they are contributing significantly to the problem against which they are protesting.
 
For example:
Antonio Cromartie has 12 children by 9 different women.  Apparently the NFL had to shell out $500,000 before he could even play football for them.  
Travis Henry has 11 children by 10 women,
Willis McGahee has 9 children by 8 women,
Derrick Thomas has 7 children by 5 different women,
Bennie Blades has 6 children by 6 women,  
Ray Lewis has 6 children by 4 women and
Marshall Faulk has 6 children by 3 women.
 
Before these guys take a knee they should take a good look in the mirror.  It appears that their problem is not the knee. It's a little higher up !!

Feckless fathers and often work-shy slobbish mothers do seem to be the norm in many societies today, it is not hard to see why society in general seems to be in decline. 8)
