SUMMARY: NFL football player Tyrann Mathieu responds to the murder of a former NFL player. What he says SOUNDS beta. But he's right about what makes you a man.

...................................................................................................................

Mathieu goes off here on the social conditions leading to these kids not having successful lives. What he says is true. But it comes across as a "Beta" set of values.

A bitch would take a look at a dude who is following this advice and disrespect that guy. The guy who stands up and takes care of business. The guy who dedicates himself with discipline. The guy who's not out talking shit being a loud asshole, but who is out there getting it done.

So it's not just music that is the bad influence on young men without fathers. It's the "modern girls" around them who are knocking them down, disrespecting them and mindraping them at every opportunity for doing what they should do, and being who they should be.

It's on us to step up and take care of business.

“Until y’all get them crooks out of office and until y’all give these kids something constructive to do, the violence will continue to grow!” Mathieu wrote. “They can’t go to parks like I was able to, because the grass ain’t cut & the rims have no nets nor do they even have rims. The budgets cutting into education, recreation and everything else that is VITAL to a kid having success. Not to mention half of their fathers are in prison. So this isn’t coming from an angry place but from a person who has made it out! All they have is music to influence them, and if you listen closely to music now a days, it’s brainwashing them to believe drugs and killing are the cool thing to do which is why I’m dropping an album… Cause that s–t ain’t cool, cool is being a father and being able to provide. Cool is facing adversity and having GOD having a place in your heart and world. Cool is handling things like men not like cowards. I’m at peace… I’m going to church to pray for all y’all.”
