people like muhammad ali, recently deceased, they saw themselves as fully american but they were willingand up against the war in vietnam and colin kaepernick thinks he's too much police brutality aimed at poor blacks in the country, why can't he do it? i disagree with all disrespect of the flag issue personally. but that's my position. but i don't understand why he can't get a job in the nfl. >> brian: it's up to the teams to do it. it's a free market. where do you stand on this, greg? juan flat out rejected my. which has never been done on live television before. dana will take the same custom. who do you side with? >> greg: people come to watch football, not political posturing. the football teams have the right not to hire him because it's like -- you don't want to alienate the people. but for foreman, it's a generational thing. he's looking at these young pups going they don't know how lucky they have it and how hard -- colin kaepernick, adopted by two loving parents who gave him every opportunity to succeed. white parents. he got the best of everything. i think george foreman is go

as a matter of fact back in the '90s he was awarded in new york along with rosa parks and muhammad ali were given awards for their contribution to the black community in new york city. this is just a made up narrative, but like i said, i thought it was pretty embarrassing, too that politicians on both sides of the board couldn't get to a microphone or camera fast enough to flaunt their racial sensitivity and their moral superiority out of this thing when like i said it was an awkward situation. instead of waiting for this thing to settle down and hold the people accountable who should be held accountable, like i said, you've got hate versus hate there. they all said there is a political opportunity here. especially on the left, every time they get, every chance they get no matter what president trump would have said it wouldn't have drawn any applause from the left. that's just the way that they are right now but again i thought what he said was measured, it was thoughtful, it was very presidential and calm the waters, unlike his predecessor barack obama, who after every one of these s

where the home of muhammad ali, we use him as a platform for discussions around compassion and kindnessand justice. so i would like to think we have had some practice at this as a community. for this particular commission coming up, i'm asking them to put together a process not just around art, but human relations and arts as well, and we'll see where the conversation goes, but i think a strong community leans into these issues. a strong community is realistic that there is still racism and injustice. if we don't talk about it, it doesn't go away. it boils under the surface. this will be an opportunity for us to do so. >> obviously, it's very clear now. i don't know if when you started talking about this a year and a ago, it would be as clear anything you had to do to remove monuments now, may become a target of these neo-nazis and fascists and you have to think about the policing in a different way. >> public safety is par mounamo obviously, and people need to know there's a whole group of folks that confederacy folks and glorifiers, when you start talking about moving anything, they m
