Actual Title: Jesse Jackson: Going From Picking Cotton Balls to Picking Footballs and Basketballs Without Freedom Is Not Much Progress

Fox Sports 1’s “Undisputed” brought civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson on to discuss the National Anthem protests in the NFL.
Jackson bashed Trump for referring to the anthem kneelers as “sons of b******,” and then took aim at the NFL.
“To go from picking cotton balls to picking footballs and basketballs without freedom is not very much progress,” Jackson said Monday.
Jackson said the NFL not guaranteeing full contracts and allowing owners to cut National Anthem protesters without having to pay out the full contract, unlike in MLB and the NBA, is “workplace harassment” and “illegal.”

Whattaya know, he’s still alive.
We’ll never put it behind us because too many are invested in putting it in front of us.
Of course....Reverend Shakedown smells money.
Jessie and his ilk have turned grievance into a multimillion dollar industry.
Colin had a $120,000,000.00 contract to “pick footballs”...that doesn’t sound very “oppressive”
I think JesseJ is just JEALOUS as all get-out.
Multi-millionaires, mansions, trophy cars, trophy wives, jet-setting around the world. “No Freedom.”
We should not oppress them by watching them play football.
Boycott the NFL, for the players......
Free the slaves—Shut down the NFL!!!
Jesse—I will take all of their big cash salaries and we will keep them from being exploited any longer!
“because too many are invested in putting it in front of us”
Like the old “Run, Jessie, Run”
stickers, on the front bumper?
““To go from picking cotton balls to picking footballs and basketballs without freedom is not very much progress,” Jackson said Monday.”
Fortunately, Jesse can’t even pick his own balls!
True then, and true today.
The only time Jesse Jackson picks cotton is when selecting 800 thread count egyptian bed sheets.
Crap. I thought the Race Baiter was dead. I guess not.
Players making millions each year are comparable to cotton pickers? What sane person would let him spew this nonsense without telling him how ridiculous his points were?
Start your own league, Jesse. It’s been done before. The Players’ League lasted for only one season, but two of its eight teams persisted in the American Association (and then American League), and four more merged with the National League counterparts.
