Chris Collins, talking about the protest, said he was amazed at the story players he played with went through to make it to the NFL. Collins said Vernon Davis told him,  they don't disrespect the flag they just want to be heard, and Davis said he'd like to talk to Trump, Davis plays for the Redskins. OK fine. Where are these stories of how blacks in the NFL made it. Why aren't black players going into inter-city black communities to sharing their story? The answer is, it doesn't fit the template. Most of the stories are of young black men, making it despite the government. Being more than they can be, working, committing to a dream, or a goal. Get the government involved and the work ethic and commitment decrease. What happens to government low income housing after a few years? Many of the players that kneel, made to the NFL because of themselves, not some government program, or hand out.
