On the same day that Jemele Hill was suspended from ESPN for tweeting about politics, another network personality, Michael Wilbon, compared Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to a slave owner.
Mr. Wilbon, co-host of Pardon the Interruption, took issue with Mr. Jones stance that players who do not stand for the national anthem before football games will not play.
And the word that comes to my mind―and I dont care who doesnt like me using it―is plantation, Mr. Wilbon said on Mondays show. The players are here to serve me, and they will do what I want. No matter how much I pay them, they are not equal to me. Thats what this says to me and mine.
ESPN declined to comment on Mr. Wilbons remarks.
The take-a-knee protests roiling the NFL escalated once again on Sunday, when Vice President Mike Pence walked out of the Indianapolis Colts-San Francisco 49ers game, after 23 members of 49ers did not stand for the anthem.
Later that day, after his teams loss to the Green Bay Packers, Mr. Jones told reporters that players who refuse to stand the anthem will be benched.

Mr. Wilbon is black racist idiot.
If anyone is on the plantation, its fools who think like him.
I heard that the players have to say “yes massa” when they get told what the next play will be.
Hey, I’ll be a slave for a couple million a year.
Should have picked our own damn cotton.
The cotton is drying up on the plantation.
I wish this guy had a clue what slavery really is. And not movie slavery. Real, actual slavery. I bet he hadn’t read a single word about the history of slavery.
Wilbon has got to be dumber than a box of rocks-when you work for someone-and that someone signs your paycheck-you damned well had better do what they say/want whether you are a laborer or a spoiled jock-if you don’t follow the employee rulebook, you can be fired-ESPN appears to have a very short employee rulebook...
‘Wow another Leftist ESPN reporter wanting to politicize the NFL.’
It would be a death wish...IF they were smart enough to put two and two together.
Hey Jerry don’t let them get UPPITY with you.
He’s such an idiot!
These so-called “slaves” can leave their NFL Plantation any time they want to go wash cars, wash dishes, haul out trash or something else that they are more qualified to do than play grab-@ss a few hours a day like little children.
The more these clowns talk, the tighter the rope gets around the NFL.
Moore went on to write, Those who cant write, write sports, or a good reason they (sports writers) should basically stick to the one subject they at least know something about!
Their field is sports not the Constitution nor politics, yet here they are garballing on about First Amendment rights, Civil Rights and the state of race relations in America!
No one wants to turn to the Sports page and find a couple of harpys clambering on about Donald Trumps election being about turning America back into the plantation!
You’re seeing the insanity of critical race theory in full flower.
The racism of ESPN is now being exposed.
Good idea!!! And real slaves couldn't just quit.
Free to leave the Plantation at any moment.
When the players start signing their own paychecks is when they can do exactly as they want on company time. Until then, there are standards and stipulations, and those who sign their check get to make them. Don’t like it? Quit. Go someplace else that will pay you to run off their customers. Good luck with that, though.
So tell me why, then, should it be true?
ooh, ooh, ooh....
That I...
get a belt...
outta you...?
(bah bad bah da da....)
95% of this recent ridiculous insurgency can be laid at the feet of Barack Hussein Obama. Who never failed to pour gasoline on any fire.
IMHO
