I don't care for the NFL personally, but I understand the concept of being at the top of a game. It doesn't just happen. Those guys (white, black or purple) didn't just decide they were going to do that instead of selling crack or flipping burgers. While you may have a shallow and amateurish existence, that isn't the life that everyone lives.
In the future, please find a more appropriate forum for racist blubbering. If you're confused, re-read my first sentence.
As far as the actual story, well-done Alejandro. There is a way to handle this stuff with class that has a far more profound effect than spitting bile back and forth. Setting the example for others to follow.

Using the term "racist", that begs the question.... If a non-black person knows some black people, does that make their comments/argument more compelling?And, should this be emphasized when commenting on issues that obviously involve race (in this instance, as the originator Colin Kapernick emphasized).
I'm asking this as a white person who knows some black people.
