You and I are not 20 something kids whose entire lives have been devoted to playing sports.

And very little military contact. Many of us served. I think that is part of the reason for my anger over this. I served in Germany at the end of Korea. One POV I have not read about are the Black service member's reactions. They must be conflicted. These black players mainly come from poor backgrounds and have had an easy ride though HS and College. The school system teaches them that their upbringing was marred by the White man. They go from nothing to a minimum of 300K and up to Millions.
