I know what a Black Power salute is, and I’m old enough to remember the 68 Olympics in Mexico City - Tommie Smith and John Carlos still get asked about that. And agree with those two or not, they were both fine athletes who risked their reputations and futures in order to make a political statement. Tim McGraw isn’t making any statement other than “Spend money on my records”. Breitbart is just stirring the pot and hoping that people buy the shit that floats to the top.

Sorry, stormer, but I believe Carroll is making a legit point.
