Systematic oppression?

Do they mean like "affirmative action", welfare, free housing, free medical care? There are plenty of black politicians, business people, athletes, the Arts, the military, the police. Where is this Systematic oppression only to black people?

Notice it is always the same old tired Leftist platitudes, but no examples can be provided.

as per internet

At the start of the 2014 season, NFL surveys revealed that the league was approximately 68% African-American and about 28% white, with the remaining 4% comprising Asian/Pacific Islander, non-white Hispanics, and those preferring a Mixed Race category. By 2020, 70% of players are black.

And just like that, NFL squandered away any fans who started watching again.

So they acknowledge they were protesting the anthem and not the police?

Yes we don’t know the circumstances or criminality of those who died in police confrontations that are rattled off by these football players in the commercial

How about audience by race? Sadly, I think white America is a disappointed in this regard. They keep supporting those who wish to control their lives. It certainly isn’t the SJW crowd that are attending the games.

I will support their request and not give the time of day to an organization that exploits known felons for profit!

“””””’“What if I was George Floyd?” Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson asks.”””””””””””””

In order to be George you would have to;

Be a career criminal
A porn star
Do time in a penitentiary
Rob a store
Suck down some meth
Have a heart attack
Overdose on fentanyl
Resist arrest

And become a SAINT.
