Titans' Ryan Tannehill: US 'was founded upon racist ideas'
Fox News ^ | August 28 2020 | Ryan Gaydos

Posted on 08/28/2020 12:19:28 PM PDT by knighthawk

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill joined his teammates Thursday in skipping practice to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake and offered his opinion about the U.S.

Tannehill, who recently signed a four-year, $118-million contract extension that will pay him at least $17.5 million in 2020 alone, said the U.S. was founded “upon racist ideas.”

“These systematic oppressions have been going on for a long time. Hundreds of years, this country was founded upon racist ideas with slaves being brought here from the day of foundation. And those ideas have persisted throughout the last hundreds of years and it’s going to take time until we can get those all out. We’re tired of it,” Tannehill said alongside teammate Kelvin Byard.

Right after skipping practice, there won't be any more shooting of black people, even the black criminals. Furthermore, there won't be any more racists in the U.S., since the 360 million Americans will have had their brains redone for no more racism.

It's all so simple: boycott and force people to love you, and all ends well, forever.

He’s about as bright as all the other pigskin-humpers, isn’t he?

I’ve ignored sports all my life, so I have nothing to take away from these people.

Are there enough BLM and Antifa-affiliated fans to support those numbers?

America’s founding had nothing to do with Black people, or people of any race. It was a dispute between two groups of Englishmen, both of which had slavery at the time, as did the rest of the world. It wasn’t about race, it was about wanting to have local control, not be governed by an empire 3000 miles away. Slavery wasn’t an issue until the victorious new country decided to write a Constitution, and then, it was set up to be phased out. That didn’t happen, of course, which is why we had to fight a civil war and lose 500,000 lives.

The founding of the US was one of the most momentous and glorious events in the history of the world. Go to hell, leftists!

Apparently schools no longer teach about the founding of the nation, the Declaration of Independence, that the Constitution protects people from the government (not visa versus) and how the government operates with clear separation of branches with oversight. Back in the old days every student received a booklet containing the Declaration and Constitution to keep.

Suggestion: find a society that you are convinced is not built on racist principles, and become a citizen of there instead.

Pushed the button before mentioning that this was W.E.B. DuBois did, leaving the US to move to socialist Ghana in the 1950s. At least he put his money where his mouth was.

Hey Ryan Tannehill- it’s being discovered that possibly more white people were slaves than blacks- and there were plenty of black slave owners AND black slave traders-

Mind giving us any examples today of ‘systemic oppression’?

“...slaves being brought here from the day of foundation...”


Ah, he must believe that our nation was founded in 1619. Where would he get that idea? And, one must wonder how the Titians’ fan base will appreciate their quarterback’s thoughts on American history.

Here in the 21st Century failing to educate in the mind too. A double whammy.

The US still has slavery. It is called the Democrat plantation. It will continue until the blacks can be convinced to leave the plantation. Someone whose job was telling them that would have long term job security.

They seem to be self cancelling.
