KING: I'm boycotting the NFL because of its blatant bigotry and anti-blackness
New York Daily News ^ | June 6, 2017 | Shaun King

Posted on 06/06/2017 12:34:14 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

I love sports. Since I was a young boy, they've been one of the greatest passions of my life. For many years, my dream was to be a general manager of a professional sports team. I still think about it actually and sometimes allow my mind to drift to what my life would look like if I still went that route. The stance I am taking today did not come easily. It's heartbreaking, actually.

I'm an NFL fan. I watch the draft. I pay extra for the season pass on television so I can watch every single game. I follow the stats and standings and rankings religiously. It's an escape for me. Day in and day out, as I fight against injustice, watching a great game allows me to decompress from the stress of the cases I'm working on or writing about. I'm 37 years old and literally cannot remember a year in my life where I have not been a sports junkie.

Not interested in the opinion of anyone who says “I” that much.

your mama couldn’t even spell “Sean” correctly

Well, actually it's Siobhan, but I won't quibble...

Having said that, I of course agree with you: the NFL is many thing, but anti-black is not one of them.

Good. It’s clear that the NFL discriminates against blacks. They should undertake an affirmative action program immediately to recruit more blacks! ;-)

Blacks should have their own football league, their own restaurants and schools. Wait, that would be like Jim Crow, never mind.

LOL this guy isn’t even black. But, good! I hope this catches on. ESPN has already been promoting the SJW line. Let them be eaten by their own.

Is this Shaun King related to Rodney? Or Tut? Or Martin Luther King?

And do I care. When the racial makeup of NFL teams resembles American society, then I might care but right now, there are a lot more Black players than White, and probably NO Asians.

A SJW snowflake and I agree on boycotting the same thing.

Yech.

They take “affirmative action” to make it “equal”...
That means 13.2% of the NFL players should be black...

That means that 13.2% of the coaches should be black...

That would make things EQUAL per population.

They are demanding and getting separate dorms, study facilities and graduation ceremonies.

Reverse Jim Crow and everyone is probably much better off.

This’ll piss’em off:

Hey Shaun,
Assuming you won’t be watching this fall (we know better), take a peak at any game this season, and i predict you’ll see PLENTY of black folks in the stands.

I do not think he has anything to do with Africa. Isn’t this is the fake white guy from BLM?
