I remember being so pissed when Arian Foster retired mid-season because I had him on my Fantasy Team, I thought he was a bum. But later on, hearing him and other players speak made me realize that these guys are more than just athletes, they're human beings with the same full range of emotions that I have. Please give this guy a listen, he speaks the truth!! I'm sorry for not giving athletes opinions the full weight it deserves.
Im from Brazil and i love this podcast/show !! I gotta say , the first time i went to USA , is really scarry the racism , specially with black man , and people from other countrys too , i mean, im Brazil there is racismn , but not like in USA , you can feel it in the air , literally. In Brazil the racism is about the color but mostly here is about your financial problems, if you are poor , you realy treted like shit , but if u are rich , you the man , and this is really fuck up , when we gonna realize that we are humans, not americans , not brazilians, not chineses, WE ARE HUMANS, i know it sounds corny , but OPEN YOUR MIND, , GO AROUND THE WORLD, KNOW THE CULTURE , WE DIFERENT BUT WE ARE THE FUCKING SAME. , MANS, WOMENS , the governament wanna separate us , wanna create wars , not peace, cause peace dont make money . Here in Brazil , our president is the dumbest president ever, he is racist ,he wanna a civil war, and he thinks that coronavirus is really fake, but look at the numbers im Brazil , 1250 deaths only today ! Please look up from our situation , we are from the 3rd world, but Brazil is really a country that have everything , but because of the politicians we stiil in the red , we facing the biggest crises ever , we as a country we have every resources to became one of the biggest countrys in the world, but because of ignorance , and corrpution we wiill never be a 1st world country sadly...... Sorry for my poor english ! Stay safe and we are with you , say no to racismn !
See but relating this to the kneeling in the league is not apples to apples. People on both sides agree with the peaceful protests across the country right now. and the peaceful protests in the nfl were disliked by me and many others is because youre doing it on a field where youre being paid millions of dollars to play a game. Don't try and justify the rioting by claiming it has anything to do with creating change because it deminishes the solid points behind the legitimate protests.
oh stop it, how can one person be so dense the kneeling was using a platform viewed by millions to make a change so were they supposed to kneel at home does that please you??? Just say it outright dont play around the fact that you dont want change because you obviously are against the means for it even when its fucking peaceful.
Eric you're 100% right! Why don't people just fight for their right to feel safe in a police state the way we tell them to!? They should obviously only protest on off days, in a public place not on TV, and where the police say they are allowed to! Duh! Change only comes when everyone agrees on the best way to beg for a better life!
@@juicewonsworth592 This is dumb. No one had a problem with Kapernick protesting what he was protesting it was him highjacking a platform that wasnt his to call everyone racsit. By the way the cops arent killing black people as much as you think they are.

@@Alichakkour39 It's ironic that I am the one being called dense here. I just stated how I am all for peacful protests and for change in the way policing in this country is done. What I am against is needless violence in a time where serious change is actually obtainable as I feel it is now, not because I am against this cause but because I understand that destroying property only perpetuates stereotypes and turns peoples attention away from the true point of what the protests were about!
I’m not for the the riots or looting or beatings of business owners protecting their property. I think Arians “didn’t like peaceful protest now you don’t like violent protest” argument is stupid as hell. No logic in it at all. If the people that didn’t like the violent protest didn’t like Kap kneel then they are the problem yes but to say looting and rioting is ok because people didn’t like the silent protest is dumb. So Arian would be fine if his family owns a business. His father to be pulled out and beaten on the sidewalk while his place is destroyed and items stolen. Plenty of innocent folk including black people are having their whole lives changed from the Looting. Being against the riots and looting is not being against racism.
We have a backwards view of drugs in this country. There are countries that virtually got rid of drug epidemics by doing exactly the opposite of what the US is doing, while the US is seeing growing numbers in drug infested communities.
@@pastaboinch It's a shame that most people are too dense and too close minded to realize that. The War on Drugs is just a money making machine for Law Enforcement/Judicial system/Prisons etc. If you legalize and regulate everything guess what, the cartels are no longer a factor at least in the drug trade. Then the gangs in the US have no substantial money maker either. Not to mention that without major amounts of drugs being trafficked and sold on the streets by violent gangs, crime rates would fucking PLUMMET. Sadly, nothing like that will ever happen because A) people are stupid, and B) The whole war on drugs BULLSHIT is just a never-ending cycle that just keeps the prisons and jails filled to the brim and law enforcement employed. Unfortunately, nothing will ever change here.

Great Points by PFT Commenter/Eric Sollenburger...
Foster was in “trail technique” after that.

Decriminalize drugs sounds like a great way to help communities. Great idea Arian!
it helps mass incarceration rates in the US by alleviating prison numbers for petty crimes such as marijuana possession
I think Arian means decriminalize weed. Not the hardcore shit
