Chatterbox Corner: If you don’t stand for something…you’re probably not boycotting it
This summer was one of reflection and it leaves me seeing and thinking more clearly. In a weird chain of events let me explain how Kanye West helped me build up enough courage to boycott the mighty National Football League.

Even before the clean up, I understood what he was saying. However, it wasn’t about what he said but why he said it. He simply said it to get our attention and for the most part it worked.
