Weekend (Social Justice) Warriors

If Weekend Social Justice Warriors of the NFL, SNL and Late Night television wish to DO something about the social injustices they claim to see. They should do what has always been the way America solves it problems. Put money behind whatever their concern is.

Hospital emergency rooms are often occupied Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings with Weekend Warriors. You probably know of some. They are the guys who work sedentary jobs five days a week either computer coding or selling insurance then it’s off to home after eight to twelve hours in the office. Then another five hours of sitting on the couch T.V. watching, eating leftover pasta from Gino’s and guzzle a beer whilst cheering on the Detroit Redwings against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Then the weekend warrior ends the evening with Jimmy Kimmel's political commentary/comedy!

Yet, on the weekend these fantasy fakeball or fakestick players spring into action with a group of friends to enact the 1980 Grey cup between the Edmonton Eskimos and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats! But alas, due to the trauma of bodily movement outside of sitting in a chair for twelve hours straight, the Weekend Warrior succumbs to injury that requires emergency medical care. Tsk tsk.

What is fascinating to me is a like occurrence is beginning to happen with who I call Weekend Social Justice Warriors! These are the guys, some are professional athletes some are late night television hosts. These guys spend countless hours training and rehearsing in their chosen fields of endeavor whether on the field or on a stage.

Lo and behold these guys begin to get out of their lanes and they become community agitators and social commentators on current events that have little to nothing to do with what they are being paid to do.

Now I know, I know before you go down that freedom of speech highway. You know the one where you claim these guys are using their platform to raise social consciousness and create a dialogue for social change, let’s agree on one thing. These problems perceived or real did not start with the election of Donald J. Trump as president. Neither were any of these problems addressed while Barack Hussein Obama was president. This established let’s speak about solutions.

If Weekend Social Justice Warriors of the NFL, SNL and Late Night television wish to DO something about the social injustices they claim to see. They should do what has always been the way America solves it problems. Put money behind whatever their concern is.

Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential candidacy spent more money than any other presidential candidacy in the history of our Republic. Money spent because some people wanted the continuation of a radical progressive socialist government. AIDS/HIV and Immigration are funded by public and private sources which are willing to spend huge sums of money to research and develop ways of finding cures and solutions.

If the weekend social justice warriors of the NFL and Late night television want the change they protest and speak about they must do like everyone else put money behind their concerns. Until they put money where their protests and mouths are, they can’t be taken serious.

Oh and a final thought, weekend warriors, whether the Social Justice type or the couch potato variety always tend to bring great injury upon themselves. They also tend to end up needing emergency care or they end up filing a law suit or a grievance.

Speaking of grievances, how is that self-inflicted weekend social justice warrior wound Mr. Kaepernick? Employed yet? And how is that collusion grievance coming along?
