Dear Mr. Rose:
I have been living in the Chicagoland area all my life and I am a long-time Bulls fan. However I am not writing to you today about basketball. Its about your I CANT BREATHE" T-shirt.
Back when I was in school I studied a good amount of Shakespeare. I still read his works and attend his plays from time to time. Amongst Shakespeares many inspirational messages I learned clothes often make a statement about the man who wears them and there is something not quite right about publicly wearing ones heart on ones sleeve.
To be sure I do not doubt you have the best of intentions. But as far as your I CANT BREATHE" T-shirt is concerned I think it would have been better had you taken a page or two out of Mr. Shakespeare.
Mr. Rose Ive been noticing that a number of your fellow NBA players have been following your lead. Like you they have taken Eric Garners last words and are making a political statement out of them for all to see.
Now that you have started this shirt mania I dont think you should let it end with the I CANT BREATHE" T-shirt. I have a much higher calling for you. Id like to see you start donning quotation shirts that exemplify the innermost depths of the human soul.
You see my thinking is why quote Eric Garner when you can instead utilize the works of great philosophers like Socrates Descartes and Voltaire? What a different kind of role model you could become if you would wear T-shirts that proclaimed: THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING" A STATE IS BETTER GOVERNED WHICH HAS FEW LAWS"and OPINION HAS CAUSED MORE TROUBLE THAN PLAGUES." And while you are at it I would not be against you wearing a LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND ALL YOUR SOUL" T-shirt either.
Mr. Rose about this shirt thing you started the other day. It reminds me of the first time Moses employed his staff at the feet of mighty Pharaoh. It didnt change any minds did it? That was because Moses wasnt thinking big enough in his first bout with ruler of Egypt. Like Moses you too have been thinking small. So my advice to you is the next time you wear your heart on your shirt use your power to influence others wisely and think bigger much bigger.
