August is here! which means end of summer and football!
It’s seems as though we just finished watching the Super Bowl.
I look at the preseason as the pregame because it is the final push for some players to prove they belong on their team. It is also the preview of some new look teams like the Cleveland Browns or teams that are rebuilding like the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants.
The NFL is also under the microscope again with the fight against injustice in regards to minority players and how they are treated. News broke this week that Jay-Z has partnered with the NFL, after saying he wouldn’t perform at the super bowl. I think at this point in order to push change and make a real splash you have to “get in the game”. Most people and even some NFL players are disowning Jay-z for his decision because it looks as though he is out for money. Sometimes when you are trying to change a system that has been so rigged, you have to get off the bench and play. You have to get in good with the decision makers and become a decision maker yourself. It’s same way with Meek Mill’s Reform foundation. He partnered with Patriots owner Kraft, who a lot of people aren’t fond of but with his money and his platform, he can at least try to evoke change.
Most people think big change…HAPPENS OVERNIGHT or in an instant. Once we realize that it takes time and small steps everyday, you then will see the results. You shouldn’t stop fighting for something you really believe in even when you can’t see the big picture in the beginning.
I’m sure this will story throughout the entire NFL season, so I am going to definitely continue to read and follow up on this.
This is just the pregame getting us ready for the real game….It’s going to be a good one!
Let me know your thoughts..Who will be the top NFL team? How do you think the NFL will adapt to Justice Reform?… Did Jay-z make the right decision?
I appreciate everyone who been reading!
Have a great week!
