Gee, Jesse, don’t you get that the real slave/owner mentality is right before your very eyes?

The white owners make black players run around a field and do what the owners want.

The NFL is racist!

He just called NFL players millionaire slave cotton pickers. I never got more than $3 per hundred pounds. Blacks got the same pay.

PRESIDENT TRUMP did not initiate the NFL boycott. He was voicing the sentiment of those who were already turning off the games.

And “bending the knee” like a slave to the leftist agenda is not?

Does this idiot think football ceases to exist without the NFL?

I wonder when folks will realize that all those who have to contextualize race into everything are so emotionally cripples as to have their opinions meaningless....those who howl for “diversity” have such a narrow mindset they epitomize that which they claim to see around every corner and their voices cry out against..............themselves...

He's just an idiot. Idiots think everybody is an idiot. That's why he compares modern day blacks to slaves. It's melodramatic and all the idiots buy it. The only problem is, that attitude keeps them down.

If the NFL disappeared tomorrow, the earth would keep spinning. I'm pretty sure anyway.

“Taking a knee” has always been a posture of subservience. Maybe that is what the Left is trying to force into the American psyche. I think it looks stupid. Jerry Jones looked mindless.

JJ what took you so long to respond? I am guessing you waited until the the weekend was over for maximum attention... Just as any self respecting attention whore would do.

“And?”

Exactly. There is no societal ‘need’ for the NFL or the NBA. We’ve ‘survived’ player strikes before, and no one suffered except the networks who lost advertising money. This mentality that we are the ones who are lucky to be graced with the opportunity to watch them play a game while they make millions is ludicrous. Until there is an apology by the players for politicizing the sport that allows them to live at a level few Americans will ever experience, I will never watch the NFL again.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
― Booker T. Washington

Well, I understand that there are many blacks (including many who play in the NFL) who have an emotional reaction to performing service for a white man. The money they get has nothing to do with it. The feels they get are “slavery”.

It is unfortunate that politicians, black and white, have copped on to the fact that they can weaponize these feelings, and that the entertainment industry, from “Roots” to “Django Unchained” has copped on to the fact that they can cash in on them.

America, as presently constituted, cannot survive the open promotion of race war. And she won’t.

Yes, this is all about the “Reverand” Action Jackson shaking down the brethren for yet another “offering.”

This is just like the skits Flip Wilson used to do on his variety show, he was the reverand of the Church of What’s Happening Now.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice the irony in taking a knee to protest racism, as in “on your knees, boy.”
