So much of my life has revolved around football & many people tie my identity to the game of football. That’s fine. But before I ever donned a helmet or jersey number, I am a black man. A black man in America raising two black boys. My life & their life will always matter.

@plies @JacquezGreen Because a lot of these kids don’t end up playing for the high schools in their area. They end up transferring to a “better school” & lose the sense of community pride. The move becomes about them and their exposure.
