Not only a great football player but statesman as well. Hope the mayor gets him involved in fixing the mess.
He's not woke enough. The other thread proves that many people think he's not enough of an activist. Doesn't do enough to help the situation. Doesn't support BLM so he's a "fool".
You have to scrap the story. Herschel Walker was cancelled by a 19yo. Don’t want a “fool” like HW messing things up. Leave it to the brainiacs like Paul Howard and KLB.
Also don’t tell the 19yo he’s wrong...as no one is these days...and we might loose a 5-star or two if we don’t condone what they say!
The cancel culture speaks predominantly out of ignorance. So many truths they are robbed of by our public education system
The Mayor is correct when she said the following during her press conference:
“We are shooting each other up on our streets in the city,” Bottoms said in the press conference video that Walker re-tweeted. “ You shot and killed a baby. And it wasn’t one shooter. There were at least two shooters. An 8-year-old baby.”
“We are doing each other more harm than any police officer on this force,” Bottoms said. “We’ve had over 75 shootings in the city over the past several weeks."
Careful with your words Mike. Herschel has been cancelled on this board by the woke crowd who are afraid that we will lose all of our 5 stars if we don't cave into the mob. You might need to join Outkick if you want to express these kinds of opinions.
I hope Herschel is careful when he reaches out. Was just announced that KLB tested positive for COVID.
Its unfortunate that this article about reaching out to others with differing political stances in an effort to fix a hurting community was hijacked in a one-sided manner to advance a political agenda and victim mentality. Y'all need to be better than this.
The emperor has no clothes. Not sure if projecting or......
This thread is one-sided because the other political side has spent the last couple of days saying that Herschel and those with his mind set need to just go away. So excuse me for not buying that this was going to be anything different.
I think it's interesting that out of all the athletes who have played for Atlanta franchises and colleges that Herschel Walker is the one reaching out to help Atlanta -- there is no need to politicize goodwill IMO
Up vote. Says a lot about his character.
