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.

Jeez, Shaun, should we do a racial makeup that’ll have 72% Whites, 13% Blacks, 5% Asian, 1% Native American, Alaska Native, Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, 3% Two or more races and 6% Some other race, with Hispanics of any race 16%? I see more blacks in the NFL than whites, Shaun just like basketball...

have not watched 2 minutes of NFL since Kapernick, that includes playoff games. I’m done with them, if I have the radio on and they talk about football I change channels and do not return, this includes Rush.

Shaun is a gauster....

Hangin’ Around
by Yipes!
Compositor: Bartel, McCurdy

Jack is a gauster
My black and white friend
He knows it’s much too late for a change
So he’s got to pretend

With a cap on his head
Platform shoes on his feet
There’s no operation
Can make him complete

Chorus
He’s hangin’ around at the Club Detroit
He’s hangin’ around the Flame Room
He sticks up, he sticks out
He gets up, he gets out
I feel so sorry for him
He’s hangin’ around but he don’t fit in

Could have been a hoodlum
Could’ve had a car
I don’t really know who’s the one who decided
What we do and what we are

So he learns how to dance
And he practice the stroll
He buys clothing on time
Jack’s got soul!

Chorus

Now Jack is a gauster
He’s feeling alright
He’s a little unhappy
‘Cause his parents were white

The disco connection
He looks for the groove
He’s hangin’ around
He wants to be smooth
Jack just wants to be smooth

He’s hangin’ around at the Club Detroit
He’s hangin’ around in a Banlon shirt
He’s hangin’ around in his Coupe de Ville
He’s hangin’ around the Flame Room

He sticks up, he sticks out
He gets up, he gets out
I feel so sorry for him
He’s hangin’ around but he don’t fit in

Colin Kaepernick . . . can't get a job in the league because he dared to speak out against police brutality and threaten the ridiculous fragility of the conservative white male fan base.

Colin Kaepernick chose to "speak out" by insulting our flag, our anthem, our country, and those among our ancestors who died to make and keep America free. I have several ancestors who died in the Civil War, along with several other wars, and somehow insulting them does not start a positive conversation about what professional complainers call "police brutality". I'm glad Colin Kaepernick's career is dead. If someone wants a real conversation, (1) they can be polite, and (2) they can stop pretending that dead thugs who were in the middle of being thuggish are the best examples they can find, unless those really are the best examples they can find.

Looks like it may be the other way around.

“Would the equivalent of “anti-blackness” be light?”

Would the equivalent of “anti-blackness be WHITE?

Would the equivalent of “anti-whiteness be dark”?

And on and .. etc etc etc

Mr. King, grow up. Tens of millions of people would think your an idiot if they had time to think about you. Your pal Kaepernick violated the one rule you don’t violate and that is that one about dis-respecting the one symbol (flag) that the tens of millions previously alluded to hold in the highest and dearest esteem.

Your pal Kaepernick is done. Put a fork in him. He will never play again and he shouldn’t. On the bright side, it’s not all bad, the economy is booming and there are lots of concrete trucks needing drivers. He will have to get a haircut though.

Born from a white mother. I wonder if he hates her because she isn’t sufficiently black.

The guy’s a SJW tool with ties to the Daily Kos. this oxygen thief isn’t worth the effort it would take to hate him.

Lets make each team hire according to the national average. So you can only have 18% African Americans. Where are you trans/ genders?
