No Justice, No cleats, Texas youth football coach killed over the score of a football game
When did political agendas determine whose lives we value? We’ve been programmed to protest for those killed by law enforcement by the George Soros-funded BLM group. The group infamously said it wanted to destroy the nuclear family concept in America. Destroying the nuclear family was the primary weapon of Russian communism over 150 years ago. Today protests only receive coverage and media attention if it involves the police. It was never really about black lives being done unjustly. Rather it was about dismantling the police force to create chaos, inevitably creating a totalitarian state. If this weren’t the case, violence done in the black community, especially against those who are mentors and leaders, would be the issue. However, the mentors and leaders often are fathers not only to the community but to their households as well. As those on the left say to whites, silence is compliance. Well, if that’s true, what does BLM’s silence on crime in the black community tell us? No justice, No cleats, Texas youth football coach killed over the score of a football game.
“The most we can hope for is to create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome. The ride is a lot more fun that way.”

We told our Independent thinking viewers over two years ago that there are no winners in sports. That was for players competing against each other and fans of the sport. Now we understand that it applies to families of coaches as well. What makes obsession with sports so dangerous isn’t just the distraction of it. But they live vicariously through the teams and their players. It’s bad enough that we are so attached to our ego. It’s hard enough to step back and be humble in our daily lives. However, we have some sort of control over ourselves. Controlling anything outside of that is nonsensical. This includes obsessing over our favorite sports teams.
Sports teams have numerous players making your control even more nonsensical. There are more members on a football team than on basketball, and offensive players don’t play defense. To make matters worse, our relatives playing makes us even less objective. Perhaps we want our relative to make it out of the hood, strike rich, buy us a house, etc. So rather than see this person as a child going through life, we objectify them and see dollar signs. We fail to see the person and coaches of the teams are just machines helping our potentially future rich star make it out. Unfortunately, this past weekend, a texas youth football coach wasn’t seen as a person and was killed during an argument over the score.
“God needed a defensive coordinator too.” Funeral for community leader
Highly successful coaches like Phil Jackson took a Zen Buddhist approach to the game. You give 100% and don’t get attached to the results. This lesson will lead you to a successful life on and off the field.
“Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.”

In conclusion, while the NBA is preparing a voting agenda for this upcoming season, they should focus on violence at sports games and violence within inner-city communities. a Texas youth football coach killed should make headline news everywhere. Sports are a family gathering and a healthy outlet for kids to build confidence and channel their energy. Coaches are often a positive influence on the player’s lives as well. Does the lack of outcry show our numbness to death today? Or does it reveal our naivety to being told what to protest about? We can agree that if an on or off-duty cop were involved, the world would hear about it. But police have sworn to protect, and we pay their salaries? While true, why are cops only held to a standard of morality and not the average person you will encounter way more than the police? Criminals, unfortunately, come a dime a dozen; leaders, mentors, and fathers don’t.
