Speed, the facts are what they are. They are true. But what exactly do you think this whole thing is about? My own personal opinion follows, from listening and watching over the past couple of weeks as a white man who has no idea what it's like to experience life as a black man. When folks see what the Minneapolis cop did to George Floyd , on video, out in the open, with other cops standing by and doing nothing, it touches a nerve and is on top of the many other myriad experiences they've had in their own lives, whether it's being pulled over by cops for no real reason why their white friends aren't, having a coach question where they got a car when white players aren't (as Jaleel Johnson claims), having the strength coach tell you to go back to the ghetto when that's not where you're from (and even if you are, what the hell does that even mean?), and on and on and on.
I'm not saying facts don't matter, they do. But the facts about the racial makeup of people who are shot by police has very little to do with the current situation with the Iowa football program, or the larger BLM movement in general.
