(an excerpt adapted from his pending second book, Courageous Love: How a Spiritually Renewed Citizenship Will Restore America):
Personally, I believe the NFL is now one of the most inappropriately politically-engaged, globalist, super-businesses in the entire world. They are deploying a systemic approach to bring American football to the world, and this is the perfect platform for Satan to bring forth a tremendous effort toward an outcome of controversy and division. In my first book, I spoke of the general approach of the dominion of darkness in making people mentally ineffective stupid and changing the Rules of the Race through the use of the depravity cycle. The end result is sometimes systemic evil that is unrecognizable at the time that it is occurring, what I termed as instances of supernatural suck.
But in such a massive ecosystem the likes of the NFL, corruption resulting in supernatural suck cannot exist without there being a significant number of individuals who are unwittingly contributing to systemic evil by their own individual actions. We also must understand evil’s subtleties before we can ever hope to counter its destructiveness. As I discussed in my first book, Satan leverages our inherent evil tendencies to promote conditions prone to the development of systemic evil through the depravity cycle. And long after the depravity cycle has run its course, we can clearly see supernatural suck, defined as satanically-driven, systemic moral evil beyond human comprehension at the time it is occurring. But will the NFL superstars be a bunch of ballers or bawlers this fall? The world is teaching them to be the latter, and while those social media firestorms are occurring, Satan is working in the shadows on greater destruction schemes.
If I didn’t have a real concern that the NFL’s social justice programs are prone to corruption by their globalist agenda, because we know that Satan has a globalist agenda and that agenda is to oppose God, I would be very supportive of turning over the entire social justice agenda of the federal government to the NFL. Assigning to the NFL the US government’s social justice programs would probably save us billions of taxpayer dollars, it would uplift the downtrodden to a much greater extent than our government handouts ever could, and it might even turn the tide on converting the governmental dependency mindset into responsible citizenship, starting at the individual and then with the traditional nuclear family levels. After all, the NFL is a merit-based performance system in which individual discipline and group cohesion must come together in order to create long-lasting success. Political cliques, tribalism, and individual selfishness are all agendas that do not work in the NFL. Maybe they can apply this model of success to American society and call it responsible citizenship instead of social justice?
So, I decided to dig a little deeper and take a look at the NFL’s Inspire Change website[i] to understand what their social justice values statement is all about and what the NFL in particular is doing in the four areas they marketed during week 15 and 16 of the 2023 football season. Without a doubt the efforts I researched on their website are worthwhile. I am sure these efforts have impacted thousands of people over the years in the NFL’s areas of focus, which at the time included: education, economic advancement, community-police relations, and criminal justice reform. I can see how these core values, the virtues they espouse and market, speak to the goals of the NFL’s social justice programs. Their brand of justice speaks of a focus on criminal justice reform as well as community-police relations. The word opportunity in their mantra speaks to education and economic advancement. Equity speaks to whatever the person who uses the term wants it to be. And freedom speaks to hiring good public defenders so that people who may become incarcerated by an unjust system avoid incarceration in the first place, are given good representation, and/or are freed from jail due to past injustices.
Hmmm. Does that not sound like a much softer version of the you can’t trust the cops or the system but we cannot call it defund the police? To this former cop it does. And I’m one of those who agrees the system is biased. The numbers don’t lie. No doubt it is a fact that the criminal justice system can be biased. I was once part of such an inequitable system, have participated in it firsthand, and studied the numbers associated with racial profiling and African American incarceration rates. I am in favor of the NFL’s efforts, and I hope and pray these efforts provide resources that result in good outcomes.
With the background knowledge and experience I possessed, and after consulting the book that has the entire truth and all the answers, I could only make one observation about justice that is worth reiterating as I originally wrote in The Great American Backslide and Our Silent Partnership with Darkness. Here is a simple syllogism on the matter of humans, God’s Word, and justice: All human beings are evil. Evil cannot be just. Human beings are unjust. These truths will never change.
We must be very wary. The devil lurks and is ready to seize the NFL’s social justice efforts just like he did with Black Lives Matter. It is especially attractive due to its globalist agenda that we have all experienced over the past several years in the global marketing of American football and new recruitment campaign. In all honesty, the NFL’s efforts appear to me to be extreme virtue signaling in order to promote an agenda to the hundreds of millions of football fans worldwide. Will this effort be turned toward Satan’s agenda? Will they be gamed because we love, support, and trust the entity representing America’s most popular institution of sports?
My answer is, it’s too late, it has already started! Because why would the NFL focus on and support the global elitists’ agenda related to flawed ‘vaccination’ policy after we already know that the shot leads to unnecessary deaths and injuries to younger people who have no business taking the shot? Does the NFL approve of unnecessarily killing young people who are placed at a much greater risk from the bogus shot than they ever could be if they caught the virus and took basic steps to improve their immune health? I’m sure we will be fed a bunch of B.S. again this fall.
I can only conclude the NFL is a captured entity and has a global agenda that will be turned to lead people away from God and toward the god of football and virtue signaling. These are both sad substitutes. Idols in their own right. NFL charities could very well be the virtue signaling cover that is needed to further a dark agenda. Maybe I am completely wrong. But maybe they should just focus entirely on professional football and the many business offshoots?
Consider this, and we’ve all seen it: one of the NFL’s biggest superstars, Travis Kelce, now a global mega star by virtue of his relationship with global entertainer, Taylor Swift, was reportedly paid $20 million to promote a shot that kills and injures younger people who don’t need it and he has no ethical dilemma with doing so, otherwise he would not have done it[ii]. And think about this, do we all get closer to a one world government and one world religion through the ‘religion’ of American football? I believe we are in deep doodoo. Although some have already bailed on the NFL, I am not too ashamed to admit that up until last season my Sunday was often planned around the NFL television schedule. The hardest idol for me personally to set aside. What we have here, however, is possibly an easy truth that is covering a much harder to detect truth hiding in the shadows. This disturbs my conscience, and the great anticipation I typically get in late-July early-August toward my idol of NFL football is conspicuously absent.
Everybody knows the easy truths[iii]. The easy truths are based on easy standards. These are standards that are easy to recognize, easy to understand, and most importantly, easy to keep. The easy truths are often shallow and make us comparatively better than the other guy in our relentless and ill-conceived process of moving the measuring stick to that point that makes us significantly better than everyone else, be it individually or corporately. And that point is being driven downward, down the immoral drain of the depravity cycle. The depravity cycle makes the world more evil with each passing day. Individually, this ongoing corruption does two things, it makes us comfortable with the thought we are good enough on our own and don’t need a savior because we are not as sinful as most others, and secondly, it provides the illusion that we are not succumbing to the march of evil which sends us further and further away from God. Corporately, the NFL’s commitment to Justice, Opportunity, Freedom, and Equity sounds like a virtuous mantra, but I wonder what it truly means to the NFL powers that be? The owners and the Goodell Globalists.
While some of the players do good in giving back, the company can virtue signal a shallow truth as greed drives the globalist/expansionist agenda. Yes, do good. I agree. No problem there. But is the good that the players put forth in the charitable programs reflective of the true corporate values? Are the players’ efforts a straw man for the NFL globalists’ agenda of greed? The NFL Charities programs are not easy truths nor easy standards. They are atonements for the companies’ hidden agenda of greed, which will probably hurt the product like every other equity program that is based on a socialist/Marxist dialectic that has come before it.
The NFL’s globalist expansion is a modern-day enslavement program to extract more money from the world by expanding its market reach beyond the United States. The price? Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), suicidal tendencies and premature death can be exported to where the labor is cheaper, but it’s good sport, right? It is only different from the enslavement of African Americans in the 18th and 19th centuries in that it is based on athletic ability in a voluntary market rather than what the slave traders were forcibly selling. And why is the new global expansion effort centered on recruiting in Africa? Is it just because they have a great advocate in Osi Umenyiora who established The Uprise initiative or is it something deeper[iv]? I, for one, certainly would want to avoid any negative messages a business expansion effort might send at all costs, especially when you look back at actual human behavior over many decades and even centuries as it relates to the exploitation of Africans. Can we count any successful partnerships between the NFL and The Uprise as credits in the racial enslavement reparations program within the U.S. since the sport originated here? Just a question along the lines of a hard truth.
It is my opinion that this modern-day example of corporate greed is both a hard truth and an easy truth at the same time. The hard truth is that corporate greed is hard to see and understand when cloaked in virtuosity. It will be even harder to detect given that the Africans being recruited would probably be very eager to jump at the prospect of a chance to make millions playing a sport. They can then spread the wealth in their home countries. Will those who are successful at getting into the NFL be remunerated at the levels that a home-grown college football athlete would, and will the product be comparable? To pay this no attention and conclude that this partnership is all for the good of humanity from all angles is an easy truth that fails to recognize the possibility that humans are flawed and evil in their thinking all the time according to God. That is typically the hard truth in every virtuosity endeavor, NFL Charities and The Uprise are nothing different. While the easy truth is given the hard sell in regard to what we want the world to see us doing and have them understand about us, the hard truth is hidden in the shadows of compromise. Just ask Travis Kelce. He has a nice shot for all y’all to try out.

[iv] https://giantswire.usatoday.com/2023/04/13/new-york-giants-great-osi-umenyiora-helps-expand-nfl-africa-program/ – Since his retirement in 2015, former New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora has remained very much involved in the game of football. Umenyiora took a pundit position at BBC Sport and became engaged with the league’s overseas ventures — the NFL International Series and NFL Africa. As part of NFL Africa, Umenyiora has helped discover several new players who have traveled to America and joined NFL teams. Among the discoveries was former Giants offensive lineman Roy Mbaeteka, a Nigerian native who spent time with the team in 2022 via the International Player Pathway Program. In 2023, Umenyiora and NFL Africa have expanded into Kenya where a talent identification camp and NFL Flag football showcase in Nairobi are currently underway.
“It has always been a dream of mine to bring the NFL to Africa and over the past couple of years The Uprise and NFL have made that dream a reality,” Umenyiora said, via Giants.com. “It’s been incredible to see the opportunities it has provided through the International Player Pathway Program, the NFL Academy and Flag football, and this is only the beginning.”
