He wasn't doing it to bash sports. I think it was a criticism of the media and other outlets that put the return of sports as top billing when you still have crazy stuff like that happening, which need to be addressed.

Naw. He brought us sports for no reason.
if sports distracted folks they was already distracted and didn’t care.

Maybe so, but he's not wrong. The media does play dirty like that, and we know for a fact that sports are used to distract at times for both good and bad.

Since neither major candidate for the Oval Throne will ever "defund the police", then a national mandate to increase the qualifications to become police should be created.
ALL police hired from 2021 on should be required to have 60 credits in Criminal Justice or an Associate's Degree equivalent. We simply HAVE to stop hiring humans off the street to wear badges and carry guns simply because they can pass a fitness test and an exam. I took the NYPD exam many moons ago, just for kicks. I got a 90 in it.
The standards for creating officers simply HAVE to be better if we're going to have better relations with those charged to "protect and serve" us all. Cause right now, THIS AIN'T IT, and more of America will continue to burn because of it.
I hope that brother Jacob Blake pulls through. No one should be nearly murdered in front of their own kids....especially by "public servants."
