Two Heismans and Donald Trump

      For the second Time in 45 plus years I attened an NFL game. Last Time was to Archie Manning and the Saints in Atlanta in the fall of 1971. I was on the field at halftime and Saw Peyton's Daddy hoist a beautiful floater, a ten yard toss of beauty, arc and wonder in the back of the endzone for a TD right before the Half

    Yesterday I was in Nashville for some history with the Seahawks and the Titans. There I saw a White Woman take a knee after she sang the National Anthem and the crowd erupted in Disdain. See Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk for Ambience.

   Then the Seahawks, recently the team of my hometown hero Gaffney SC's Sidney Rice took the field arm in arm lock with Pete Carroll who given equal talent will beat a Nick Saban coached team four of five times. We talked about it in the stands.

   But here the greatness of America as I witnessed it in the Holy City of the Ryman Auditorium and the Baptist Sunday School Board that Robert Altman raised the temp on, in Nashville Tn two Heisman Trophy winners, Marcus Mariota of the Ducks and Derrick Henry of the Bammer Tide, one of Nick Saban's boys voted against Donald Trump and his Friday Night Demagoguery for Luther Strange, the St Mary's Episcopal hypocrite--see Pulitzer nominee and Definitive Alabama Baptist historian Wayne Flynt in al dot com Sunday Bham News--.

   That's where we are at this moment in America right now cause of the Atwater Memo that has now morphed into this national nightmare of Trump.

   

    Today NPR Here and Now, a week to the day after Kanye West said African Americans are tolerated in Trump's America as long as they are an event and after that they are just anoter NWord or a Coon;  today they said this time last year Colin Kaepernick was a one man distraction. On Friday in Huntsville, Alabama Donald Trump elevated him into a mushrooming Movement!!!! That's where we are now and Greg Sankey and Nick SABAN, the SEC and the SEC are next in line to pick up the conversation.

    I have always stood for the National Anthem and the Flag. From here on let it be clear in addition to honoring Uncle Fremont, Uncle James and Uncle Bill, Fighter pilot Cousin Rob Skelton and most of WWII vets who came home and became honorable citizens, and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice I am also standing for the great Bill Leonard the Baptist historian recognized last Thursday in his piece the Lost Cause Religion, the Great Patriots of Azar Nafisi's This Republic of Imagination, Maria Fernanda Moreno, Clint Dempsey, Miguel de La Torre, Derrick Henry, Marcus Mariota, Pete Carroll, Sidney Rice and Judge Frank Johnson.

    God Bless America!!!!!!
