Last night....game was over, I settled in....turned out the lights...and laid there thinking. How can a man, who has a job that only .000000001% of men, will get to enjoy in his lifetime. Full of wealth, plays a game on television, has cards with his picture on them....jerseys with his number on them, and his name....a man who is worshipped by kids all across the country, a man who can retire before the age of 40 and have enough money to last 10 lifetimes. How can this man say that he is oppressed and ignore the very piece of freedom that allows him to do all of this....and these fine young men from other countries have the utmost respect for that same piece of freedom....mouth the words, sing along....place their hands behind their backs while the other holds their cap across their hearts. Men who understand the countries they escaped to come to this place to be free and to play the game they love under a flag they fully respect. Americans who take a knee....vs foreigners who embrace the truth, the life and American way. Thank you Astros...for being real men....and showing those assholes what it means to be an American.
