It's galling to see how shocked (shocked, I tell you!) Americans are by Garrett going after helmet-twister Rudolph...

I mean, we raise these boys to CRUSH their opponent from PeeWee to Pop Warner....
... we teach them to dehumanize their opponents, to treat them like bugs to be smashed into the ground.

We also let them crash helmets starting at age 7, slowly but surely damaging their brains, year-by-year.

We treat them like commodities, ask them to risk their lives...
We pay BIG money to their bosses, who lied to them for YEARS about the risks of brain damage, CTE and dementia.

The NFL is a system designed to reward brutality.

And then we're mad when they're brutal to one another? We act like fans had NOTHING to do with that fight...
And then we have the gall to suggest it's only the Black man, not the one who started the fight, who deserves to lose his livelihood...

The NFL wouldn't exist without racism or the dehumanization of these human beings.

Just be honest with yourself now.
