Former Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson decided to use a portion of his Hall of Fame speech to “unite two races” and I think I speak for everyone when I say, “we’re good.” We didn’t need your opinion LT.

The problem with this narrative is that LT is pushing a narrative of embracing the very slave master’s as “family” who raped, maimed, and killed some of our ancestors. I’m pretty sure that’s not what family does to one another.

I could go on but there are multiple books written on the subject of slave master/slave descendant relations.

He caused many Broncos fans a great deal of pain over what is without a doubt a Hall of Fame career.

The unique thing about LT was his ability to change direction in such a small space. There are many, many, many linebackers who have gotten their “ankles broke” by Mr. Tomlinson over the years. That, plus LT’s elite ability to find the end zone is what makes him an elite back that will stand the test of time.

He never won a title, but he undoubtedly left his stamp on the game of football.  I’ll miss LT.
