Hey Everyone I got my first review from my Book Signing at HUEMAN Bookstore
BLACK ATHLETE SPORTS NETWORK
BLACK MOSES ANTHONY PRIOR LEADS THE WAY MODERN DAY MOSES IN SPORTS
Getting to the Promised Land is always Difficult and Impossible without someone Leading the Way Meet Anthony Prior He's been to the Mountain and returned with the road map His new book " Faith on Forty Yards : Behind the Silver & Gold of the NFL " Anthony Prior's mountain was the NFL where he played for 4 years with the New York Jets as a Cornerback and a total of 11 years of experience in pro football. Prior unlike many of his fellow Black football players understood exactly what he was participating in. Even if his Revelation did not manifest itself until after his playing days. Prior himself and most accessibly in his new book gives voice to the Reality of African American enslavement in the modern world of American sports clearly evidenced in the National Football League. Prior proclaims with the Credibility that only someone who has been there can that Black players are allowing their own Abuse by refusing the remedy clearly available to them. To unite for a Better Deal for themselves and for all African Americans Prior details the insidious "system" that labels any NFL player who speaks the way he does of how Black players are only allowed to be the physical part of the game - how players who want more for themselves and their Brothers are labeled "troublemakers" and know they will be targeted by their team's management and the league and likely traded. The price of "success" for African Americans in the NFL is SILENCE and Obedience In that way very reminiscent of the Plantation. Prior's larger and much more significant message in person and through his book " Faith on Forty Yards " is that African American players can and must work together and marshall their economic power to bring Change to the system and fairness and justice for African Americans in sports. It's not a new message but Prior is the New Messenger long needed to articulate the Message with Clarity as he does in his book and his personal appearances. We should remind ourselves that the much earlier Moses of Jewish fame was also faced with his Brethren who had tremendous unused power because they were disorganized and had fatally accepted their position of enslavement in Egypt. Until a member of their Clan bravely went to the top of the mountain saw God in a flaming bush the returned to lead his People to freedom and prosperity. If Moses was alive today he would surely be Cheering Anthony Prior and his book " Faith on Forty Yards " Prior's ' stone tablets ' leading to a very Promising Land. Read his Book and Learn the Truth. |
