Seattle Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin took to Twitter on Monday to discuss some rather serious issues that have obviously been weighing on his heart for some time.
Ranging from his childhood dream of being president to losing his faith in the system, from making the distinction between classism and racism and wondering how we can become a nation that cares for each person, rather than becoming consumed by status, Baldwin got deep.
Here is a sampling of his lengthy monologue.
