TreVeyon Henderson Supports Cause Kaepernick Would Have NEVER Kneeled For
In terms of caring about 'justice'? This is about as real as it gets
After having social justice issues forced down our throats in the pandemic years, TreVeyon is a different sort of football player. He plays a great game and supports people who have no possible way to return the favor.
He went off the beaten track when he picked a “MyCauseMyCleats” cause for Giving Tuesday.
And one thing that struck me about his choice is how refreshingly different it is from some the activism was saw in NFL showboats in days gone by.
Long after coaches stopped returning Colin K’s calls, he was still positioning himself as a ‘social justice’ influencer, talking smack about the police, and pushing the BLM movement that some of us called out from the very beginning as a grift and a delivery system for pushing a leftwing agenda.
It grew to a shakedown operation where, if your big company didn’t show support for the cause, and cut a big check, it was denounced as racist. It hit critical mass on social media and pretty soon we’re painting the streets. Not until the principles skipped down after draining the coffers did the public wise up to the fact that none of the disadvantaged people BLM supposedly supported had seen any benefit from the money that washed through there.
Colin K, one of the visible faces of the movement, scored a multimillion dollar endorsement deal with Nike before BLM’s house of cards collapsed.
Contrast his story to TreVeyon Henderson.
He, too, is an NFL player with a lot of media attention. He, too, has a cause, where he cares about disadvantaged people suffering from injustice. But can you spot the difference in the cause he is backing with ‘MyCleatsMyCause’?

It’s very low-key. Just simple images and a no-frills appeal at the end.
No marketing gimmicks. No lies, hype or spin.
Just an invitation to support either in prayer or financially, the persecuted church. He even has that link right there in his social media bio. When you read the rest of the bio, it makes perfect sense.
This is not a cause that will springboard him to any special sponsorship from the kind of post-career bump Colin K got. It won’t make him the face of some national movement in which the media elites could make him their darling poster-boy. Picking a public fight with Trump is practically a cheat code to become the celebrity of the day right now. He didn’t do any of that.
He saw a need among persecuted people who share his faith in faraway places that do not have the rights or benefits you and I might even forget to include in our list of things to be grateful for around the dinner table at Thanksgiving. And he thought of them.
There’s an old saying: that which is rewarded is repeated.
Instead of cheering for the worst kind of players in sports (remember the now-abandoned website that used to track all the current NFL arrests?), let’s cheer on guys like TreVeyon Henderson for putting his shoulder to the wheel with helping people in genuine need.
