Unity in Sports Can Help Lead the Way

Growing up in the San Francisco bay area, it's been my honor to have developed excellent friendships with a variety of people from a multitude of ethnic backgrounds and beliefs. Our family has expanded into new cultures and I've been able to work closely with an amazing group of diverse colleagues & players at every level of football for almost thirty-years.   

Best of all, even though each of us has our own flaws, we respect and love each other, and we value one another dearly. We come from a beautiful mix of backgrounds of every race and a wide variety of thoughts and ideas. We cherish each other's uniqueness. 

We care about one another as human beings. We are equal in every regard.

As a supporter of every hardworking law enforcement officer that risks his or her life daily to help protect and serve each American citizen of every race around the nation, it has been heartbreaking to see the inexplicable deaths of some innocent African-Americans that were caused by a very small number of law enforcement officers that are simply not justifiable at all.

This is not about politics, rather it's about the respect for All Humanity and eliminating any type of injustice in its purest form.

Even though the majority of law enforcement officers conduct their jobs with total respect for every American of every race, there is a very small number of officers that have taken fatal action against some innocent black Americans that resulted in their very tragic deaths.

Without a doubt, those law enforcement officers that are found guilty must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.



However, the vast number of officers that hold true and remain caring of all individuals must be treated with the great respect they deserve.

Additionally, and has been the case throughout much of America's modern sports history, properly demonstrating a peaceful and strong show of unity in the the world of sports can help lead the way out of this terrible period.



Together in sports, we can further develop an even brighter and more prosperous and loving future for all Americans.

For those of us in the sports world that have grown up in America supporting and celebrating the invigorating pursuit of life, liberty and happiness for each American of every race, we need to bond together peacefully now and forevermore.

Respect, love and peace through strength of unity can cement our bonds better than ever before.

America needs us...
