Well, feminists have said that female accusers always have to be believed, but let's put that aside.
You're saying that Jacob Blake should be presumed innocent of the sexual assault warrant against him, and I have no problem with that. But then shouldn't the cop who shot him also be presumed innocent? Yet these athletes are calling for his arrest.
From what I saw, that shooting was completely justified. Now I know many people will disagree with that. And maybe I'm old fashioned, but I've always been taught you don't give the police a reason to shoot you. These kids today seem to think that they should be allowed to do whatever they wish when it comes to the police, including throwing bricks at them, and it should all be just fine. There's certainly no need to follow their instructions.
But the point is the shooting is at least a little controversial, meaning there are two sides of the story. We will have to wait for the incident to be investigated before the matter continues. But they shut down the sports leagues because of this (and I'm beyond caring about that), as if this was a prime example of racism and police brutality. I happen to disagree with that, but they will not allow my viewpoint to be represented on the football field. To be fair, I don't want either view represented on the football field. Someone said the NFL should be like Switzerland, and stay out of it entirely, and I agree with that. But it's clear that team sports will never be free of politics again.
