Super Bowl Sunday is one of America’s most united days, all because of the bliss of football. All through the season, we support our specific teams and then come together one day of the year to cheer on one of two outstanding teams. However, the polarization of our society with violence has overtly slithered into America’s greatest pastime. On Sunday, October 2, Joseph Bauer, a former U.S. Marine and a Raven fan, was struck in the head by one of two football fans from New York. The fact he had served our country was the hard part for me. The situation and looking back on the discourse, it didn’t help that a statement of a violent nature had been blatantly boosted and perpetrated by a candidate for president of the United States.
The statement described above was the preamble in a tweet I addressed to the 45th president of the greatest country in the world on February 6, 2017. Nineteen months later, in one week’s time, we’ve had Robert Bowers and Cesar Sayoc, not to mention Gregory Bush, at a Kroger store in Jeffersontown, Ky. Dylann Roof – Charleston, SC. Omar Mateen — Orlando, Fl. with Charlottesville, VA. A blatant exhibition, and the list is perpetually longer going back in my living memory to the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Al.
