it's not dark yet

 but it's getting there ( Dylan)

Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is watching. My question today is what exactly are these protesting athletes doing with their free time in the off season when nobody is watching ?  I know they attend team sponsored fund raisers and charity golf outings and lots of things where the media are present....but what do they do when the camera's are turned off. 

The Mets took a team vote at 2:00 p.m. yesterday and decided they weren't going to play last night. They were upset that a rapist with an outstanding arrest warrant was shot while resisting arrest. This miscreant had 3 of his kids in the car along with his knife and he went to the home of one of his many baby mamas....problem was she had an order of protection filed against him and she called the Kinosha Police....why not call a social worker or conflict mediator ? ah, i digress.....back to the mets.....they couldn't possibly play a baseball game 3 days after this shooting.....certainly not after the nba decided to cancel their games...and even the nhl cxld playoff games.....but the mets had to outdo their fellow athletes....the mets had to find a way to be the lead story on ESPN instead of just a footnote.....so they dressed for the game....waited until ALL the TV cameras to be turned on and then they placed a black olices matter shirt at home plate and walked off the field.......a lazy, look at me publicity stunt....a cheap and insignificant statement in defense of a criminal.....not a word when a 5 year old white child was executed by a black thug in North Carolina.....not a single protest when a white man and his stepdaughter where shot in the head by a blak thug after a fender bender in South Carolina.....not even a tweet or publicist statement when dozens of police are murdered by criminals everyday in this country........if these athletes seriously care about making their communities better they should volunteer their time.....and stop wasting ours.

When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for

they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the

corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most

certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.  ( Matthew 6:5 )

i personally have cut ties to professional sports.....i wont attend games even with a free ticket...Rangers too....I won't buy any t-shirts or items that are officially licensed by professional teams....if the game is on free tv i may still watch ...but i no longer care.......

Bob Dylan wrote this a decade ago.......i think it's no longer getting there...the darkness is here.

I was born here and I’ll die here against my will
I know it looks like I’m moving, but I’m standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can’t even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don’t even hear a murmur of a prayer
It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there    ( Dylan)
