Lavar Ball has told NFL players and the players association that if they take a knew they should get out of the league or form their own where political protest and pressure of culture can be part of their game. Lavar Ball is making money and predicted his sons would become billionaires before LeBron James and Colin Kapernick, and Ball predicted Kapernick in particular will be in massive debt unable to afford shoes or cleats for anything. Athletes who protest and try to make cultural statements through disrespect and using sport for protest are doing organized professional sport a disservice and Lavar Ball says these boisterous bastards are a joke and bad for money in sports.
Ball says that players social activism can be taken elsewhere and that advertisers and ticket holders expect to see patriotism of the players they pay to see and enjoy watching on the field. Ball has a point and the last thing ticket payers and the subsidizing public should expect to see in game is for athletes to play political cards for special interests who think that it is warranted to bring protest to sports because they are unhappy art losing elections and unhappy they don't have dictatorial power to change the things that a small segment think needs constant surveillance and protest. Lavar says sports leagues and organizations have a duty to bar problem child and once again he predicted Colin Akpernick may be in jail and be a potential cell mate for Kellen Winslow Jr who is a former NFL player that protested against wrongs in society aka Eldrige Ceaver. More on Kellen Winslow later though. There are plenty of roads and avenues to protest societal problems and give referee speech but being over-paif to collide with others and on th sideline of a private field is not one of them.
