Is he good enough to be a coach? Or a trainer? Or work in sports tech? Media?

Maybe he can find a way to be invoked without being locked in on being a player on the field at the top level. If what he loves is the game, he can be a part of making the game better or safer or reach more people.

You are incorrect. The republican party is the party of bigotry and cruelty. To vote for them is an explicit endorsement. Adults are accountable for their allegiances and their actions, and we have had decades to learn.

When you need to resort to "but I have black friends" to defend racism, you've lost.

Electing republicans is in itself blatantly racist.

I certainly hope your turn to fight it never comes.

You gain nothing by refusing to try.

People said everything you're saying 30 years ago and used it to justify letting fascism grow unchecked. Now we're here and you are still afraid to be firm. You are why they're in power.

No more compromises. No more chances. No more conversations. People are being abducted. People are dying. There's no time left for patience.

They change NOW. Or they can fuck off.

Why not shout into the void with a few thousand like minded shouters, then?

I'm not interested in the reasoning behind bigotry.

You gain absolutely nothing by being correct about this.

Making an effort anyway at least gives you a chance at improving your life.

Call them out so that resistance is visible, then block them to remove their agency to engage you.
