Dolphins' Michael Thomas's Emotional Response To Trump Comments

MIAMI DOLPHINS SAFETY MICHAEL THOMAS WAS ASKED ABOUT
DONALD TRUMP STATEMENTS IN REGARD TO THOSE WHO REFUSE
TO STAND FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND HE GOT INCREDIBLY
EMOTIONAL AS HE TALKED ABOUT HIS FAMILY.
TAKE A LOOK.
IT JUST AMAZING ME WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING ON
IN THIS WORLD, ESPECIALLY INVOLVING THE US, THAT'S
WHICH ARE CONCERNED ABOUT MY MAN?
YOU'RE THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD AND THAT'S WHAT YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
AS A MAN, AS A FATHER, AS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN,
SOMEBODY IN THE NFL, ONE OF THE SONS OF BITCHES, YEAH IT'S
A GOOD PERSONALLY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME LIKE I SAID IN MY
TWITTER POST, IS BIGGER THAN ME.
IT'S BIGGER THAN ME, I HAVE A DAUGHTER, SHE IS GOING TO
HAVE TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
I'M IN A DO WHATEVER I GOTTA DO TO MAKE SURE SHE CAN LOOK AT HER
DADDY AND SAY HE TRIED TO MAKE A CHANGE, YOU FILL ME?
YOU GOOD?
WOW.
MICHAEL THOMAS IS ONE OF THE GUYS WHO ORIGINALLY TOOK ANITA
HE TOOK IN THE LAST YEAR ALONG WITH CALLING KAEPERNICK SO HE IS
ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THIS MOVEMENT AND SO THAT IS WHY WHEN
TRUMP SAID THOSE SONS OF BITCHES WHO WOULDN'T STAND FOR A
FLAG, INNOCENCE, HE WAS TALKING DIRECTLY ABOUT MICHAEL THOMAS.
SURE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS.
THE WAY THING, THE MEDIA.
THEY GET UPSET WITH CALLING Her NECK.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HIM, THEN OTHER PEOPLE TAKE ANY IN
THERE LIKE WHATEVER.
THAT'S A SECONDARY STORY.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT HIM OR BENNETT OR OLDIES OF
THE GUYS WHO DID IT.
ANYWAY, THAT IS WHY THEY WERE ASKING HIM, BECAUSE IF TRUMP WAS
TALKING ABOUT ANYBODY THAT'S IN THE LEAGUE, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT
THIS GUY AND HE HAD WHAT HE REFERRED TO EARLIER THERE, WHEN
HE WROTE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THIS IS BIGGER THAN US MEETING,
THE IDEA OF JUSTICE WHEN IT COMES TO POLICE BRUTALITY
AND POLICE VIOLENCE AGAINST UNARMED BLACK MEN IS AN
ISSUE BIGGER THAN A FOOTBALL PLAYER.
HE'S JUST TRYING TO PUT A SPOTLIGHT ON AND OF COURSE,
BECAUSE OF TRUMP'S OVERREACTION, NOW THE SUSPENDING LIKE
WILDFIRE.
WITH THE FIRST BASEBALL PLAYER TAKE ANY JUST YESTERDAY I
BELIEVE, LAST NIGHT, AND NOW SOME OF HIS WHITE TEAMMATES SAID
THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE ANY OR AT LEAST ONE OF THEM SAID THEY ARE
GOING TO TAKE ANY WITH HIM TONIGHT AND IT HAS SPREAD TO THE
OWNERS, TO EVERYBODY NOW AND GOD BLESS MICHAEL THOMAS FOR BEING
ONE OF THE LEADERS IN THAT.
AND OF COURSE, THE MOST POWERFUL PART WAS WHEN HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER AND IF YOU DIDN'T HEAR EXACTLY
WHAT HE WAS SAYING, BECAUSE HE BROKE UP A LITTLE BIT THERE.
HE SAID, WHAT IF SHE ASKS ME DADDY, WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN IT
MATTERED DID YOU TRY TO TAKE A CHANGE?
AND HE DID.
AND THAT IS A HELLUVA THING TO TELL YOUR KIDS, WHEN IT
MATTERED, I STOOD UP OR IN THIS CASE, TOOK ANITA.
I THINK, AND BY THE WAY, THIS IS SPECULATION ON MY PART THAT
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON IN HIS HEAD, BUT HE KIND OF LOST
HIS COMPOSURE WHEN HE STARTED THINKING ABOUT HIS FAMILY.
WE STARTED THINKING ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER AND IT MADE ME
REALIZE, SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN, BUT I THINK
SOMETIMES WE FORGET ABOUT IT.
EVERYONE WANTS THE SAME THING.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOUR ETHNIC BACKGROUND IS, REGARDLESS OF
WHERE YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY OR WHAT YOUR POLITICAL AFFILIATION
IS, WE ALL WANT A BETTER WORLD FOR FAMILIES AND THE WORLD THAT
HE SEES IS ONE WHERE HIS PEERS ARE MURDERED IN AN UNJUSTIFIED
WAY WITHOUT ANY WEAPONS ON THEM, WITHOUT ANY WRONGDOING OR WITH
SOME WRONGDOING BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT WARRANTS
EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING SO HE WANTS A BETTER WORLD FOR
HIS KIDS, FOR HIS FAMILY AND I'M SURE SEEING THE KIND OF
STUFF THAT YOU SEE IN THE NEWS ON A REGULAR BASIS WORRIES
HIM JUST AS MUCH AS IT WORRIES US.
KNOW, WORRIES AND PROBABLY MORE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN KIDS AND SO YES, IT'S NO HAPPENINGS ALL THE
RACES AND I THINK POLICE OVERREACTION, POLICE TRAINING IS
WRONG UNFORTUNATELY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY BUT IF YOU SEE TAMIR
RICE BEING SHOT IN TWO SECONDS FLAT WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD
AFRICAN-AMERICAN KID ANY OF A FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AS HE
SAID AND ONE DAY SOON, SHE'LL BE 12 AND YOU KNOW, IF
NOBODY'S GONNA BOTHER ASKING HER ANYTHING AND THEY'RE JUST GOING
TO PULL UP AND SHOOT HER, BOY, YOU WOULD BE VERY CONCERNED.
JUST FOR ONE SECOND, THINK ABOUT IF YOU WERE IN THEIR SHOES,
IF YOU ARE NOT AFRICAN-AMERICAN, AND YOU SEE ANOTHER STORY
NO HEIL, GUYANA WALMART WALKING AROUND WITH A TOY GUN FROM
THE WALMART BECAUSE HE WAS SHOPPING, COBS,, ALSO SHE
WITHIN TWO SECONDS.
THEY DON'T ASK QUESTIONS AND BOOM, HE GOES DOWN AND HE DIES.
IT IS HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN, AND YES, THE
STATISTICS BEAR OUT THAT IT HAPPENS DISPROPORTIONATELY
TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN SO WE HAVE TO GET BETTER POLICE TRAINING.
WE CAN'T HAVE THEM SHOOTING AT FIRST SIGHT AND NOW, YOU
KNOW, YOU SEE HAPPENING TO ALL THE RACES BUT MORE SAID
AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
SO IF YOU ARE AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN LIKE MICHAEL
THOMAS, IT MIGHT BE A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH FOR YOU OR YOUR
KIDS TO TAKE A STAND NOW AND SO HE DID SO BRAVELY, ALL THE WAY
BACK TO LAST YEAR WHEN IT WAS A VERY UNPOPULAR THING TO DO, AT
LEAST ACCORDING TO THE PRESS AND HE TOOK THAT CHANCE NOW, A
LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE JOINED HIM AND THAT'S WHAT BRAVERY IS
ALL ABOUT.
