'A sport with a lot of Black people in it but not with power': Joy Reid slams the NFL to trying to 'sanitize Blackness' from the Super Bowl
Daily Mail ^ | 2/15/22 | Jack Newman

Joy Reid has slammed the NFL for trying to 'sanitize Blackness' from the Super Bowl after Eminem took the knee during the half-time show.

The MSNBC host, wearing a football jersey in support of Colin Kaepernick, said she has fallen out of love with the game over its apparent inaction against racism and the lack of Black coaches in the sport, in comments echoing resident Joe Biden.

Reid and her panel of hosts noted how Eminem has been praised for taking the knee during his performance in what was nothing more than a 'performative' gesture, but Kaepernick has remained unsigned for years after starting the protest.

She said on ReidOut: 'The NFL has always tried to sanitize Blackness especially during the Super Bowl, from the halftime performances to players taking a knee, and it especially does not want to dabble in the culture wars now and tick off the conservative fan base.'

Guest Jason Johnson then added: 'Which explains why Kendrick Lamar's line "and we hate the popo" was noticeably scrubbed last night.'

'Don't think we didn't notice,' Reid responded.

She also made reference to the dispute over whether the NFL was aware of Eminem's decision to take the knee ahead of his performance.

It was initially claimed the gesture took officials by surprise, with current NFL rules effectively banning players from taking the knee during the anthem.

TOP just seems to me that it's a standard that they'd want to live up to,' Biden said.

'I don't know if there's not a requirement of law, but it's a requirement I think of some just generic decency,' he added.

On ReidOut, columnist Michael Harriot also accused the NFL of hypocrisy for writing 'end racism' messages on the end zone...

If what we are being shown is considered black culture, they can have it. I will have no part of that filth. Show me one redeeming value in any of that crap. Who actually wants it that way?

Yes. All those black millionaire players in the NFL have no power except to live fabulous lives of incredible wealth off the field.

Yep life goes in circles it seems. The white population had
their turn now it seems to be shifting to the non white sector.

So be it. We all live until our death time has arrived.

If blacks ever become the majority in America, minorities will no longer be anything except blood spots in the history of our country.

And at the exact same time, ALL concerns and worries for “minorities” will not only be ignored, it will be illegal to point out the disparities between the blacks and all other races - PERIOD!

Haven’t watched the NFL or Super Bowl for years. After hearing about the controversy, I did watch the half time show on YouTube. Even the YouTube computer couldn’t figure out the “lyrics”.

Seemed to me like a ghetto block party with one black-ass kissing white who wishes he was black as the token non-black. EVERYTHING else was just 100%, in your face, “blacks rule”. Except (having family who used to live in Africa), it wasn’t “black” culture held up as superior to all others but GHETTO culture! And I mean the worst parts of ghetto culture!

This is a “Get Whitey!” movement. This isn’t about ending racism but getting revenge. There is a black anti-white hatred I just don’t encounter among the Mexican-Americans I know (nearly 40% of the population where I live).

More outrage porn from the ineffectual Joy Reid for those who like screaming in outrage against an irrelevant, racist hack.
