football jobs blessed
I believe that I have a platform because God blessed me with the talent to play football. Having that talent, my job is to be responsible with it.
heart excellent-work effort
A consistent and heart-filled effort to completion is the foundation of excellent work.
white people racism
I'M INTROSPECTIVE, because sometimes I want to take "our" side without looking at the facts in situations like these. Sometimes I feel like it's us against them. Sometimes I'm just as prejudiced as people I point fingers at. And that's not right. How can I look at white skin and make assumptions but not want assumptions made about me? That's not right.
jobs athlete thinking
When you are public figure, you're an athlete or actor, that is your job to speak out on certain things. I think you speak out on what you desire to speak out on or your passionate about.
confused responsibility winning
I'M CONFUSED, because I don't know why it's so hard to obey a policeman. You will not win!!! And I don't know why some policeman abuse their power. Power is a responsibility, not a weapon to brandish and lord over the populace.
painful-experiences racism insulting
I'M OFFENDED, because of the insulting comments I've seen that are not only insensitive but dismissive to the painful experiences of others.
skins problem sin
It's a sin problem, not a skin problem.
eye racism stories
I'M ANGRY because the stories of injustice that have been passed down for generations seem to be continuing before our very eyes.
hurt racism community
I'M SAD, because another young life was lost from his family, the racial divide has widened, a community is in shambles, accusations, insensitivity hurt and hatred are boiling over, and we may never know the truth about what happened that day.
growing-up father kids
If fathers aren't growing up, I would challenge them to want to be a father that is present in the home, so that their kids have that identity.
beautiful race america
I'M HOPEFUL, because I know that while we still have race issues in America, we enjoy a much different normal than those of our parents and grandparents. I see it in my personal relationships with teammates, friends and mentors. And it's a beautiful thing.
people focus path
Moral failure occurs when people lose focus and gradually drift off the path.
law racism doubt
I'M FEARFUL because in the back of my mind I know that although I'm a law abiding citizen I could still be looked upon as a "threat" to those who don't know me. So I will continue to have to go the extra mile to earn the benefit of the doubt.
strong children father
When we look at our children, I think a lot of the troubles we're having as a society is because we don't have strong fathers in these families that can tell their kids that they can do more.
