Just imagine all this if Teboe was still around and praying to Jesus and unbelievably winning games with that gritty defense that he had to support him. Teboe didn't try to communicate/"take over the game" during the national anthem. He waited until one of those miracles happened or until after the game when they put a microphone in his face to explain how they managed to win with his less than stellar ability to throw the ball.
So why don't today's players just try his approach? On the field. When they have done something outstanding? Why not protest against the country then?
I think it has a lot to do with their corporate lack of character. You know, all the DWIs, wife beatings, substance abusing etc. actually takes it toll. It would demand giving up preening before the cameras to "send a message" that no one who actually pays for their antics came to see or even believes in anyway. They are too "foo-ball" to understand that. Unlike Teboe, people watch DESPITE who they are...():~((.
