I don’t know anything about this young Black man because I do not follow sports of any kind but I do know Racism when I read it and see it. Which is my reason for sending along to you my E-mail today. I want to thank you for the honor and priviledge to express my view on the persecution of another young Black Male:

“The Bible, in the Book of Revelations, graphically depicts in symbolic pageantry, the Spirit of the Black Messiah (Barack Obama), leading the armies of African people and other Nationalities against the European colonial powers and oppressive forces. These forces were called Gog and Magog, the chief prince of Mesheck and Tubal, who were immediate ancestors of the Caucasian race.

This war between the Afro-Asian and European ““ the East and the West, is referred to as “The Battle of the Great Day of God Almighty. . .in a place called Armageddon” This last and decisive battle between the Black man and the white man, will end in the valley of Megiddo, of Palestine, in the Middle East. It is the place where European, so-called Jew is waging war in the name of freedom and justice, an unrighteous aggression and genocidal war against the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine; in an effort to take from them their land again, going back to before, December 6 1948. This is when The United Nation was founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which in turn is to serve as a gateway to European Neo-colonialism in East Africa.

In the 38th and 39th chapters of the Book of Ezekiel, God clearly sets forth His intense hatred for Gog and Magog and their descendents who are described as a people who came from their home in the far recesses of the North . . . in the latter days, into the land that is brought back from the sword and is gathered out of many people” prophetic language for the European so-called “discovery of America.”

God declares that He will smite the bow out of America’s left hand and cause her arrows to fall to the ground: That He would send fire on her armies and those not destroyed by the fire,

Would die by the sword, would be eaten by birds of prey and beasts of the field. All the force of nature will be turned against her.

So thoroughly will God’s judgment be carried out against these people, that the flesh of their bodies shall be “consumed away into smoke” and become “ashes under the soles of the

Feet of the righteous.”

After the Lord has led His armies to a complete victory over the beast, the earth shall then once again return to its natural state; for it is written:

“Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto vintage, and the vintage

Shall reach unto the sowing time: and I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword

Go through your hand. And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put thousand to

Flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.” Leviticus 26:4-8

THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD HANGS OVER AMERICA!

And to you Bob, keep up the good work!

Great post.

The time has come for you to define this moment and I look forward to your response. Your past has been filled with indiscretion and has led to tremendous hurt for you and your family. You are a man with tremendous potential, on and off the field. It is difficult to interpret or analysis what you must feel from day to day but I am certain you will take charge of your life in order to command the respect you deserve.

Your heartfelt apology was a great first step. Words are easy to communicate but action defines who you are and what you will become. As a KC Chief fan I have unconditional respect for you. However, women are to be treated with respect and I know you understand this important obligation. The legal situation you face today is based on speculation and conjecture and the end result will bear out the truth. Regardless of the outcome, I know you will you be a better man for it.

I am certain I speak for the majority of KC fans when I say we appreciate your contribution to the team. Our only hope for the future is to see you demonstrate the qualities of your father as a “Leader of Men”.

I know if may seem self-serving, but you need to get a copy of this to him. With your connections, surely you know someone who can drop a copy in his locker.

So glad you set up this site. It’s on my daily read list. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for your honesty and wisdom.

Fame and money are trappings that many do not handle well. There is example after example that one could draw from. With a little research you would discover just how many lives have been turned upside down by winning the lottery.

Even Rocky struggled in that life after it enveloped him.

Your advice would be good advice for anyone in Larry’s circumstances. I agree that he should sell it all (anything and everything that does not have sentimental value), All the material things just make it harder to focus on the important stuff. Even better, GIVE IT ALL AWAY!

Bob, This is a great list! Though I have to say the only thing missing is the most important thing and that is a personal relationship with Jesus…

and without this, none of it matters anyway!

When we see a professional athlete who has behaved like Larry the temptation is always to say the guy’s a scumbag with no redeeming qualities. But if we stop to think about people we’ve known and liked, we’ll usually recall a one or two who had problems similar to Larry’s.

I hope he really feels the need to change and begins to turn things around.

Johnson is at a crossroads in his life. He can walk away from the trash. Here’s hoping he does.

Few things piss me off more that great athletes who throw away their talent.

As much by what the article “doesn’t say” as what it says, the implication is clear. Immaturity and all the trappings of said – some folks eventually learn, others do not…ever. For some, it is not even merely a matter maturity.

Alas, this guy is portending Jim Brown (Johnson’s reported ‘hero’) in more ways than just on field. He is not/will never be on par with Brown on the field but likewise here’s hoping he is not Brown off the field as Brown was/has been.

Some people ‘get it’…Brown is one of those who did eventually get it, to some extent (though he still is outspoken & has had run-ins of one sort or another with authority even nigh on into this current century.)

Running backs or just plain ol regular Joe hacks, some overcame their immaturity – alas, some even now circa 2008 find themselves on the wrong side of the law (OJ Simpson, Lawrence Phillips, afore Bam Morris-and didn’t Tamarick Vanover play some RB for KC briefly? Yup; maybe it’s something in the positional requirements (self-asphixiation?)

Carlton Chester Cookie Gilchrist was AFL version of Brown as to running style and a grade A prima donna much to the chagrin of his coaches, mostly (in the same vein as Johnson reportedly, refused to abide coaching requests re entering or exiting a game(s) – Cookie refused to re-enter.) A recent battle with throat cancer reprotedly has left him a bit refelective on his willful playing days.

Others never learn; former RB Jesse Phillips was drafted by the CIN Bengals in ’68 despite having spent time in jail; a short pro career’s now long forgotten, give way aft his playing days ended to misdemeanor/felony/Big House residency.

Bam Morris…Lawrence Phillips…OJ Simpson…I don’t accept & never will the aspect of culture playing a part, i.e., a black man must be dealt with/understood differently than a non-black or say a white man. Baloney. I traveled the world living in diverse cultures- right is right and wrong is dead said…player/regular Joe on the street just the same- any other rationale’s be just that…rationalization.

Paul Hornung and Billy Cannon are former players nee white runningbacks who also ran afoul in one way or another so it’s not epidemic to color any more than position played. That’s too convenient a crutch that some would proffer. Also, Joe Don Looney was just that -looney on the field as off; yup he too was a RB, white (and believed to have partaken of anabolic steroids as far back as his college days at Oklahoma in the early 60′s; Joe was dead by 45 via unrelated happenstance…or, were they?) Joe is a guy who once told his NFL coach back in 1966 he would not re-enter a game so to relay the next play – “hey, if you want a messenger then call Western Union.”

All the players have different circumstances, but then again there are just as many ways to mess up a career…or life. Will Larry be saved? And does he want to be? We shall see…
