Stand with Colin Kaepernick and #Black0ut the NFL

I support this initiative wholeheartedly, and I’ve decided to post this video on my blog to lend whatever support I can and spread the word:

What the NFL is doing to Colin Kaepernick is cowardly and simply unfair.

First, I am proud of the Adventist church (particularly the pastors in Huntsville, AB) for spearheading this silent protest.

Secondly, I am proud of the Black church for their leadership and for taking a stand.

Far too often, the church is silent while its members are being persecuted.  For once (finally!) the church has shown up and is leading the charge.

The #BlackOut movement advocates four action steps:

1. Boycott the NFL (no games, no fantasy football, no jerseys, no nothing).
2. Commit one to two hours during the NFL season that you would have spent watching games to mentoring young black boys and girls.
3. Spread the word to others.
4. “Take a knee” in prayer at 6 a.m. each day.

I don’t even watch football (the Superbowl always competes with my birthday in February 😣😡😠), but regardless — I can get behind this. 🏈

Support Colin Kaepernick. Take the time we would have spent watching football and pour it back into our communities. Stop making spineless people rich while we suffer.

I love this. I love this. I love this. ❤
