I’m sure most of us have heard this story by now.
Jerry Edmond, a Black man, attended his first NFL game last Saturday when his team, the New England Patriots, played the Las Vegas Raiders at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This should have been a happy and joyous occasion for Edmond, probably something he dreamed of doing his entire life. But — as we know, America can’t tolerate Black joy in any form.
Decked out in his New England Patriots gear, he did what he was supposed to do, cheer for his team.
