Dear Black Athletes, I beg you for one season not to play. I beg you Tiger Woods to forget your clubs. I beg you Williams sisters to break your rackets, I beg you Gabby stop flipping! Yo, Mayweather, I need you to stop boxing these fools ears in! I beg you all in the NFL, NBA and any other league starting with an N to just deflate your balls (both literally and figuratively) for one season and stop letting this country disrespect your brilliance, your gifts and yes your strength. I am tired of them not understanding the intellectual genius it takes to compete. I am talking about your strength cause when they talk about it, they do so as if it is a curse, a phenom or wildly animalistic. I am tired. So if you love me... and I know you do... go on an extended vacation. Yes, I will miss you. I will miss losing my mind and cheering for you. But I need for sponsors to stop advertising, I need for folk to stop making money, I need for seats to be empty and I need for sports to lack any excitement and pazazz.
