The Washington Redskins’ idiotic gesture of coming out on the field with their hands up may have a lot more truth to it than it might first appear. No I am not talking about the moronic idea that Michael Brown was shot while he held his hands up in surrender. Today we know that to be complete BS because officer Darren Wilson suffered facial bones fractures including an Orbital Blowout Fracture to the eye socket. Unless the “scholarly gentle giant” somehow managed to do that via ESP the narrative that he had his hands up in surrender falls by the way side. The injuries suffered by the police officer and the strong arm robbery caught on tape shows Michael Brown to be nothing but an out of control thug who sooner or later would have met the fate he met but one can only shudder at the thought of the pain and misery he would have inflicted on countless innocent victims.
When I say that the Washington redskins may be right I am referring to the statement made by Washington Free Safety Ryan Clark who said “That could have been any one of us,”
What can I say? I agree! Given that recently the NFL has turned into an overt cesspool of thugs,, wife beaters, rapists, drug dealer and even murders Ryan Clark is probably right. Michael Brown was a thug, and a bully. He was a six foot four inch 17 year old behemoth who brutalized whomever he wanted and there is little evidence that his marauding would have stopped as he got older, bigger and stronger. One can’t help but wonder how many NFL players had similar thuggish upbringings and but for the NFL would have ended up shot by cops in the street.
So again, I agree with Ryan Clark that that could have been him or many of his fellow players but for the check they get from the NFL. On the other hand Mr. Clark should not despair as we have seen many former players, OJ Simpson comes to mind, revert back to the thug life once they retire from the NFL.
