I've told y'all I don't care much for #NFL football anymore. But I do care a lot about NFL players.

#DamarHamlin suffered a cardiac arrest on the field and the game would have continued if both teams hadn't protested.

Up until a few years ago the NFL used race norming, meaning that if both Brett Favre and I won brain damaged settlements my payout would be lower, because "Blacks have lower IQ anyways!"

You may be able to enjoy this sport. I can't.

Wishing Damar a speedy and complete recovery.

@mekkaokereke sometimes I wonder if future generations will look back on the violence and tolerance for injury in American Football and judge us monsters.

I hope so. I can't say I'm optimistic... but I hope so.

@killfile @mekkaokereke

There are many things they'll judge us as monsters for. Most demonstrate the callous indifference so many Americans hold for their ostensible fellow Americans.

And this particular issue adds the element of American culture's historic disregard/lesser regard for the well-being of black and brown bodies.

After decades of following the Steelers, we quit cold turkey: I don't need or want folks being maimed on my account. 😕
