Kaepernick vs. Manute Bol

"Colin Kaepernick Needs the Truth" by Trevor Thomas. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/11/colin_kaepernick_needs_the_truth.html

Here is my comment to that piece:

I'm Jewish but live in America and have been exposed to a number of Christian examples. I don't recall Jesus taking his ministry to sports stadiums (the Romans built them) or ampitheaters performances but rather He took to speaking at the Great Temple in Jerusalem and in town squares where people discussed the issues of the day. There are stories of Jesus feeding the poor with loaves and fishes, something that these football players could well afford to do at times becasue of their astronomical salaries.

Recently I saw on Youtube a story about the semifamous who had recently died. One of them is the African former NBA player Manute Bol who returned to Sudan and gave away most of his fortune to help poor people in his country to alieve their suffering. I don't believe Bol ever took a knee at an NBA game - he just did Good Acts. No, Bol was everything that these NFL millionaire idiots are not.

Bingo. And, Jack, the people Jesus and his disciples fed with the loaves and fishes weren't necessarily poor, they were merely people who came to hear His message, and it just happened that Jesus was speaking in an area where there were no purveyors of food. The people (with the apparent exception of the lad who had brought his lunch with him) hadn't come prepared for a long day of instruction and therefore hadn't brought their own provisions. One CAN extrapolate that these folks probably weren't the "upper crust" of the society, because Jesus' message appealed more to the poor and downtrodden.
And it's not going too far to believe that Jesus chose just such a place to preach, with the idea that He knew exactly what He was going to do as far as producing a miracle with the feeding. Jesus never did anything by accident.
