A Philadelphia Eagles quarterback sparked outrage by refusing to visit President Trump’s White House this week, calling it a “moral stand.” Meanwhile, sportscaster Sage Steele blasted critics trying to turn Shedeur Sanders’ NFL Draft position into a race issue. These controversies reveal America’s growing divide between patriotic values and woke activism.
Steele slammed activists claiming racism caused Sanders’ draft slide, calling it “lazy thinking.” The outspoken conservative argued talent – not skin color – determines NFL success. Her blunt message: “Stop making everything about race.” This comes as Sanders’ college highlights show inconsistent throws and poor decision-making under pressure.
The former ESPN star knows about double standards firsthand. Networks punish conservatives like Steele for questioning vaccine mandates while protecting liberals accused of actual crimes. ESPN let Shannon Sharpe stay on air despite sexual assault allegations but canceled Steele for criticizing Barack Obama.
America’s real problem isn’t racism – it’s people using victimhood as an excuse. Sanders’ draft position reflects his skills, not some imaginary bias. The Eagles quarterback’s White House boycott disrespects the presidency and the millions who voted for Trump’s America First agenda.
Media elites push divisive narratives while ignoring true threats. They obsess over race-baiting stories but stay silent about violent crime destroying cities. They attack conservative athletes as “controversial” while celebrating liberals who hate our flag.
Patriotic Americans see through the lies. Hard work beats identity politics every time. Kids need coaches – not social justice warriors – teaching them to earn success through discipline. The NFL Draft should celebrate merit, not manufactured grievances.
Steele’s courage highlights what’s at stake. Freedom means respecting different opinions, not silencing them. Real equality comes when we judge character – not skin color or political slogans.
It’s time to grow up and face reality. Stop blaming racism for personal failures. Honor the Office of the President. And let sports be about talent, not toxic activism poisoning our national pride.
