Joe and I are on the same side with this issue. So i don't have a problem with that either.
I just wish famous people did more with the platform they are given. Just look at all the attention Kaepernick got, yet not one person can tell me a specific policy that he was supporting. In stead it seems like too many famous people want to make posts but do nothing else. Kaepernick actually donated over a million dollars to charities, and I hope Burrow does the same. But these people could be so much more effective if they actually said what they wanted to happen.
The single biggest issue that needs to be corrected to start addressing the problems of police brutality is independent prosecutors to handle these cases. And not just a prosecutor from an neighboring district. There need to be truly independent from law enforcement in order to investigate and prosecute law enforcement officers. It is just very frustrating for me to hear all these famous people making "thoughts and prayers" type posts without addressing anything of substance.
Like I said, many of them have donated a lot of money and started foundations to help these causes. And I hope Joe does the same thing. So I wasn't really bashing him in any way.
At least he is not selling his soul for cash like Michael Jordan did.
Are you serious? Kaepernick was protesting police brutality towards African-Americans
