Seattle Seahawks wide receiver declared Monday on Twitter that classism, which he calls the No. 1 threat to democracy in the United States, is destroying the American dream.
Baldwin, who earlier this year in defense of fellow NFL player Colin Kaepernick’s protest against the national anthem, questioned the level of inequality in the nation, saying the “1% of the 1% buy the politicians and write polices.”
He also wondered whether empathy and sympathy have been lost, as Americans continue to be “concerned with status at any means.”
Here is Baldwin’s full tweetstorm:
