[Brian37]

Randy wore a tie with the names of unarmed black victims of violence  during the Hall of Fame game coverage.

OMG, what a hero. You wear that tie. For sure racial violence bt the police is coming to an end, Randy Moss wore a tie with names on it.

You don't think broader awareness of an issue can't ultimately push people to try and solve the issue?

Cops killing blacks is not an "issue" for them.

I don't think wearing a tie does anything. I think the people who aren't aware there is a problem with racial prejudice and violence by the police against blacks, aren't going to be made aware by Randy Moss' tie.

The people who aren't "aware" of the problem are the Trumptards who think it is about the fucking anthem.

Their myopia is alarming but probably results from the fact that they and their kids are not the ones being shot.

It's called raising awareness. 

You know, just because you have a dick, doesn't mean you need to be a dick.

The tie caused a reporter to ask a question, which Randy Moss responded to. So the people who aren't aware were made aware. So yeah, wearing a tie did do something. It's also a respectful thing to do, not to make your entire Hall of Fame speech about something unrelated, but at the same time to have something symbolic there for someone to ask about later. The tie got coverage, I'd say it created a lot of awareness.

Haha. If people weren't aware from the Ferguson riots, blm, and the Trump presidency, kapernick, etc they are never going to be and certainly a single answer about a tie is not going to do it.

Everyone is aware of police violence against blacks. Raising awareness seems to be a code word for being righteous but not doing anything.

Raising awareness is only important if it's something that people aren't aware of. Considering the major focus of the news involving the NFL last year was about police violence protests, I'd say everyone is aware of they are never going to be.

But I don't think wearing a tie does anything. This is just the real life version of changing your Facebook profile to fight cancer. Ie. Doing nothing.

Was probably more effective at getting the message out than kneeling for the anthem.
