The NFL draft goes woke?
American Thinker ^ | 29 Apr, 2021 | Silvio Canto, Jr.

Once again, we see people in the sports media obsessed with skin color.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised. After all, this is the same NFL that blessed professional athletes who disrespected the U.S. flag.

The latest from the "wokes" is their reaction to the NFL draft or the potential top choices about to be selected by teams.

Are the experts concerned about the character or talent of top college athletes? We used to do that but no more in the days of woke. The big deal this year is that the top quarterbacks are all white.

Check this out on ESPN:

When discussing White and Black quarterbacks on Tuesday, ESPN’s Max Kellerman took issue with the notion that the stock of a Black quarterback falls before the draft, specifically citing the rumors that Fields may not be a top one or two pick.

I think the NFL players that don’t get sex change operations should be shamed into submitting. Then the Super Bowl can be a drag queen fashion competition.

Let’s just let every starter in the NFL be Black.

In the entire history of the NFL. One Black Quarterback has won the Super Bowl. Doug Williams of the Washington Redskins. Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs who’s Mother is White has also won one.

Screw the stupid NFL! I can’t believe there are any real Americans still watching that nonsense. I hope they go bankrupt and disappear for good.

I guess it’s not “the content of one’s character” (MLK is long forgotten) or the quality of their play.

Time for me to boycott another professional sport — about the only one left is the PGA.

So far, I haven’t missed the NBA or MLB one bit — and 90 minutes of 1-0 pro soccer is too boring regardless of the flopping and fake injuries.

“ESPN’s Max Kellerman”

About the biggest POS in sports journalism.

There’s Russell Wilson too, but while his parents are both black, he has mixed ethinicty in his ancestry.

According to the left, blacks are too lazy and too stupid to figure out how to get a drivers license or other government id. Why would leftists expect a black to be capable of running a complicated offense and make snap, correct decisions based on changing information?

BTW, hope all pro sports go bankrupt and go away. Stopped watching all sports, college pro NASCAR football baseball basketball in 1992. Could not even name the teams and cities any more. My life has improved markedly since stopping sports.

I was so disgusted and disappointed when I saw that 😣
I used to love sports. All of it! I had given up on American sports & got interested in Liverpool Reds.....now, refuse to watch them. 😡

For me, it was a blessing in disguise.

I found so many other things to do with my time that I do not miss sports at all. In fact, I now regret all the hours I wasted watching grown men play a game.

You are right. Perhaps all of these fine, white quarterbacks should don dresses and kiss Goodell on the lips when they are drafted. Could boost the TV ratings. Even better if they could find a hispanic quarterback, or asian, and draft him (or her) number one. Let’s turn the NFL into the ‘Powder Puff” League!!!! Maybe then, I will start watching again.

The NFL is an inherently corrupt organization, and always has been. It should be eliminated not reformed.
