Bernie Goldberg’s takes on the NFL

Bernie Goldberg picks up on two points from the O’Reilly NFL assessment, saying that the media has turned protesters into heroes. For example, let’s say some Caucasian players say the biggest obstacle to inequality involving African-Americans is not racism, it’s fatherlessness. So they take a knee before the game to highlight their moral concern that we’re also passionately concerned about, just as Colin Kaepernick and others are morally and passionately are concerned about their cause. Do you think the media would turn those protesters into heroes?! 

There are African American athletes who don’t agree with kneeling during the national anthem, but if they step forward, they are the divisive ones. They would be the ones who are causing a lack of cohesion on the team. 

Views to the left of center are viewed as middle of the road. They’re thought of as moderate, reasonable and sensible. But, views to the right of center are viewed as alien and requiring a warning label like those on packs of cigarettes “these opinions may be harmful to your mental health.

We are so polarized, we are so divided that there are elements on both sides that don’t even want to hear the other sides’ arguments.
