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.

An important distinction for the good reverend...

A professional athlete can tell his employer to go pi$$ up a rope, walk away from that career, and do whatever he wants to with the rest of his life. I am not aware of bloodhounds or “runaway athlete trackers” hunting down any retiring athlete to drag them back to their stadium (plantation). No fool quite like a ole fool...

He is correct.

They have, with the aid of Democrats, essentially made every young black man think he can become a gazillionaire by throwing or running with a ball of some kind. A terrible disservice that makes for huge disappointments and failure guaranteed......................

Just when you think these libtards have reached the ceiling of ridiculousness, someone breaks through and reaches a higher level.

Good luck, Reverend Race Pimp, on convincing Americans these “MILLIONAIRE” NFL players are being oppressed.
