CNN contributor Donte Stallworth said Saturday that the NFL kneeling protests arent just about police brutality and racism, but also about the gender pay gap.

Stallworth, a former NFL wide receiver, said, The number one stated goal was to bring awareness to a lot of these issues and again, its a broad spectrum of issues. Again, its not just police brutality and community policing.
Its also, again from what Im hearing from players directly involved in these talkstheyre telling me its also about the gender pay gap, its also about housing discrimination, they have so many things that they are interested in and advocating for and they want the NFL to take ownership in and help be able to use the NFLs platform.
Not just the players platform but the NFLs platform and that from what I am hearing is a big conversation.
Good point there too....the NFL players should pay the LFL players.
He went to Tennessee, ‘nuff said.
Gosh - I guess using the Anthem as a focal point for protests means it needs to be used for protests against high taxes/ObamaCare/welfare leeches/Black-on-Black violence and anything else one can decide to be upset about - they are digging a huge hole and in the Age of Trump, I think they finally overstepped big time.
It is boycott Sunday again—just do it!
I was under the impression they were kneeling to protest the high cost of 22” rims.
What these kneeling tattooed millionaires seem to miss is that there is absolutely nothing they can SAY that will make me believe that they are nothing but a bunch of whining wusses, not worthy of being watched for playing games.
“And we are against ‘salted butter!’ we kneel to show the people who can’t tolerate salt that they are not forgotten and we are with them in their struggle against salt! We believe Non-salt lives matter!”
Very true! Which is why this “protest” has the hallmark of George Soros all over it.
Then they should pay their hookers more.
Years of smashing their heads into solid walls have turned the players into morons.
Kneeling is the new climate change. Anything and everything can be attributed to it, and white privileged males with Bibles and guns are to blame.
Playing football is now secondary to bringing awareness to a broad spectrum of issues.
What about the fans, Mr. Stallworth? How many fans will support football players paying more attention to social justice issues? How many fans will find something else to do?
The cheerleaders should get the same pay as the average player.
Thanks for the ping.
Never mind gender, let’s ‘have a conversation’ about the pay gap between them and us.
It isn’t that we haven't heard the nonstop liberal pity party lectures.
We have heard them - - - for years and years and years. It's that we don't believe they have merit. Yes, bad things happen BUT THE SOLUTION IS NOT TO TELL WHITE PEOPLE THEY MUST SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY.
The black community needs to take responsibility for their own high crime rates which in turn causes their neighborhoods to be filled with cops babysitting on the dimes of the rest of the taxpayers. We're NOT making your young people break into people's homes..
So get it together... solve your problems... we're sick of paying for city police protection when blacks use 90% of the police budgets.
