You really have to hand it to Edelman here.  Not everyone's instinct is to reach out and meet with someone who has expressed racist thoughts or actions.

It's the only real way to defeat racism, but so many times other avenues are selected to respond.  Even if you hate the Patriots you can respect this move.
