KING: I'm boycotting the NFL because of its blatant bigotry and anti-blackness
New York Daily News ^ | June 6, 2017 | Shaun King

Posted on 06/06/2017 12:34:14 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

I love sports. Since I was a young boy, they've been one of the greatest passions of my life. For many years, my dream was to be a general manager of a professional sports team. I still think about it actually and sometimes allow my mind to drift to what my life would look like if I still went that route. The stance I am taking today did not come easily. It's heartbreaking, actually.

I'm an NFL fan. I watch the draft. I pay extra for the season pass on television so I can watch every single game. I follow the stats and standings and rankings religiously. It's an escape for me. Day in and day out, as I fight against injustice, watching a great game allows me to decompress from the stress of the cases I'm working on or writing about. I'm 37 years old and literally cannot remember a year in my life where I have not been a sports junkie.

"Well, actually it’s Siobhan"
Worse misspelling of Sean ever.

:-)

Gaelic is probably the worst-spelled language in Roman letters. I'm 1/4 Irish, McGinleys from County Donegal, except that there it's spelled Mag Fhionnghaile, which makes absolutely no sense to me, but I've never studied Gaelic so I can't talk.

Yeah the Rooney rule. St. Rooney of the Stealers, who became Uhbama’s ambassador (never mind gave him a rally).

This goof ball is still around? He claimed his birth certificate has the wrong father on it. And then there is this:

CNN’s Don Lemon exchanged text messages with King on Wednesday night and asked him directly whether he was black or white. “Initially, he did not answer but later referred to himself as biracial,” Lemon said. “But then when I asked him if that’s what it shows on his birth certificate I did not hear back from him. No answer on that.”

Although I did watch plenty of political theater on Snappy Sammy Smoot's WeeWee'd TeeVee and felt myself qualified.

I remember reading somewhere back in the day that Jimmy Carter decided to run for President when he went to DC as the governor of GA, and concluded he was as smart as anyone he met there, so there wasn't any reason he couldn't be POTUS. The mistake, as I have since concluded, was that he was comparing himself to the people who were drawn to government because of their mediocrity, so to be as good as they was not to be good enough.

Just like baseball, blacks are not ticket buyers or even TV watchers. They play the sport for money. So King and the rest can go away. It won’t matter.

His parents and his documentation say he is as black as Rachel Dolezal.

Hmm, maybe I might have to reconsider my promise to not watch the NFL anymore.

He and Rachel D. are proof that P.T. Barnum was correct.

Blacks should boycott Shaun King until he completes a 23AndMe.com DNA analysis, and releases what % “African” he really is.

Because of racism and white supremacy, blacks are underrepresented on NFL teams. Oh, wait...

Because of racial differences in IQ and physical abilities, Blacks predominate the NFL and NBA, and are almost non-existent at Google, Apple and Facebook.

Exactly what mixture of races in teams, coaches, managers and owners would be considered not racist?

Can you imagine if the NFL and NBA had to do what Persons of Color are demanding in all other walks of life and had to represent the % of population at large? Both would be only 12% Black.
