    Not everybody is a civil rights activist they get payed to run a ball who made them qualified to speak on anything past that..
    ? then say "no comment" & keep it moving. Why is Dez Bryant speaking on something he has no interest in? ? be cosigning coonery

    How many people chastise Michael jordan for having no interest in anything damned if you do damn if you don't.

    Jordan actually does donate in silence but he doesnt state ? publicly for fear of monetary loss...
    Which in some ways is even worse

    You ain't gotta like it but he's keeping it real.
    He gets paid to play a game and don't have a lot of time to do so, he has his own priorities.

    As i said, its the situation most people are in and most folks cant rock the boat like that. Ive lost a job and left jobs cause of standing up for ? . No glory, no reward, just a pat on the back from ? that stayed quiet and still working the ? . Had i extra mouths to feed i definitely would of thought twice bout the ? i did.

    But im built different. That reason to keep quiet starts feeling like a weakness, like that ? owns me, and i cant do ? . ? living like that... kids, might have to expect daddy to ? up sometimes.

    But thats the past, i aint bout to spend the next 30 years like that.

    No wonder why the league and owners keep ? these ? during collective bargaining negotiations. These mfs don't have no backbone. Out here damn near committing suicide on the football field and can't even get a guaranteed contract.

    Yeaaaa lets compare a league with 1700 players with a huge injury risk to a league with 300 and talk about guaranteed contracts :joy:

    Further proof of why I say its stupid to expect somebody to speak up or demand they speak up just because their job puts them in the public eye. Most people not built for that ? ...the only real sad part about this is he didn't say he's not speaking up because he isn't knowlegable...but because he has to "feed his family" which is an unconscious way of saying he knows saying something would rock the boat and cause him to lose out on income
