Chicago Cubs Player Jason Heyward Makes a Statement Over Racial Concerns

Jason Heyward believes Blacks in the United States are not being treated fairly.

He chose to sit out this past Wednesday's Cubs game to show his concern. 

Whatever the actual treatment of Blacks in this country is, this man certainly doesn't have much to complain about.  He has signed an eight-year contract with the Chicago Cubs for $184 million.  Not exactly chump change and mistreatment in my book.  He also got a $20 million signing bonus and has a base salary of $21 million, coming to a total of $23.5 million a year.

I just can't buy multimillionaire black athletes who talk about how bad it is to be Black in the United States.

Hopefully, the Cubs will dock him his salary for that game.  But, I know they won't.

Well, if Jason Heyward will sit out a game for black victims of the police, he will also sit out a game for the five-year-old boy, Cannon Hinnant, who was recently killed and whose death was all but ignored by the national media, something they sure don't do when a black man is killed by police.

Let's Be Fair, Jason.  --Old Secesh
