A Sticky Wicket

"Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins."

The kneeling, the charges and counter-charges... It must be football season again.

Lest we forget, the National Football League has attempted to curb the practice of players kneeling during the national anthem, or not appearing at all. Much silliness is made of First Amendment protections, workplace rules and the apparent ungrateful nature of a field full of millionaires refusing to show the most common respect for our country. Let's be fair...

It's about us...cops. According to these men we are racists. Hell, a US senator with aspirations to the White House said something similar just recently. The whole system is racist, and must be protested every Sunday on fields purchased primarily by taxpayers and protected by men and women in blue. In some of these cities officers have - very recently - given their lives in the service of the communities cheering these...gentlemen.

Her: "The Broncos are on."
Me: "I'm watching St. Kitts versus Guyana."

In a nutshell, I'd rather watch cricket than the National Football League. That's what I think of them and their opinions.
