I'm going to speak the truth when I'm asked about it. This isn't for look. This isn't for publicity or anything like that. This is for people that don't have the voice.
America stands for freedom, liberty and justice for all. And it's not happening for all right now.
We have to unite. We have to unify and make a change.
People are dying in vain because America isn't holding their end of the bargain up, as far as giving freedom and justice, liberty to everybody. That's something that's not happening.
If intimidation is your game plan, I hope you have a better one.
There's people being murdered unjustly and not being held accountable. People are being given paid leave for killing people. That's not right. That's not right by anyone's standards.
I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed.
Pressure comes from a lack of preparation.
I have great respect for the men and women that have fought for the USA. I have family, I have friends that have gone and fought for this country. And they fight for freedom, they fight for the people, they fight for liberty and justice, for everyone. That's not happening.
If we reach common ground, and can understand what everybody's going through, we can really affect change. And make sure that everyone is trated equally and has the same freedom.
There are a lot things that are going on that are unjust. People aren't being held accountable for. And that's something that needs to change.
You have people that practice law and are lawyers and go to school for eight years, but you can become a cop in six months and don't have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist. That's insane. Someone that's holding a curling iron has more education and more training than people that have a gun and are going out on the street to protect us.
There is police brutality. People of color have been targeted by police.
I can't look in the mirror and see people dying on the street that should have the same opportunities that I've had. And say 'You know what? I can live with myself.' Because I can't if I just watch.
You have Hillary Clinton who has called black teens or black kids super predators, you have Donald Trump who's openly racist. We have a presidential candidate who has deleted emails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate. That doesn't make sense to me because if that was any other person you'd be in prison.
God has brought me this far. He has laid out a phenomenal path for me. And I can't do anything but thank him.
There's a lot of things that need to change. One specifically? Police brutality.
I watch a lot of cartoons. I watch a lot of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Phineas and Ferb."
There are things that have gone on in thr USA for years and years and have never been addressed, and they need to be.
It’s not really pressure, unless you’re not prepared.
I just want to improve game to game and try to get better.
If you want to understand what I'm thinking further, come talk to me. It shouldn't be something that should be hidden. These conversations need to happen and can bring everybody closer.
Being an NFL quarterback there's a lot of advantages that come with it. There are a lot of doors that open when you're a quarterback but at the same time there's a lot of scrutiny. There are a lot of things you can't do as well.
I think people are really talking about it. Having conversations about how to make change.
Something you're aware of being a quarterback coming here-you have expectations, and you want to live up to those.
