Respect is not a God given right, as far back as I can remember it had to be earned. Black men will never gain the respect of anyone until they learn to respect each other. 73% of all our black children are born out of wedlock in single parent homes. The black neighborhoods chicago and beyond are riddled with crime, drugs, gangs, prostitution, murder, blighted neighborhoods, domestic violence, no work and poor education. The number one cause of death of black men between the ages of 18 and 34 years is black on black HOMOCIDE!!!!!  How can they expect anyone to respect them when they in turn do not even respect each other. These millionaire football players are completely out of touch. If a police officer never killed another black person, there would not even be a little dent in their plight. The football players need to give back more than 60 seconds on their knees to their brothers. It will take generations of hard work, they need to be active in addressing the black problem
