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.

Hasn’t this ever taken a history course? I have a feeling that the NFL needs to collapse under the weight of its ignorance. This guy sounds like a racist. What a pig.
He’s making $17M this season and has never won a Super Bowl and out of his 7 seasons in the NFL he’s only had 2 winning seasons. Overall he’s a loser athlete, which matches his loser IQ.
He's an effin' Aggie, for crying out loud.
Ryan is a home town boy here, watched many of his high school games. He’s an embarrassment to the town of Big Spring TX and the great state of TX.
Buh-bye!
I think the no talent ball chucker got hit in the head too many times.
Ryan Tannehill. Never. Won. A damned thing.
Same of the half-black Chiefs QB, who all of a sudden is 100% black and spouting his idiot girlfriend’s BLM talking points because it’s trendy.
When he started his career, he seemed to be conservative and pro-law enforcement. But that doesn’t get endorsements these days. $$$
Tannehill must not realize he lives in a Conservative State.
What the hell are “systematic oppressions”?
At this point statements like this are like beating a dead horse. Pro sports is completely dead to me and now these guys are just shooting a corpse.
Remember the Pilgrims who emigrated to America? Who were they? They were White Slaves. They came here as indentured servants to work off their debt obligations in Europe as serfs. So, how are the Founders racists?
Does he know that money is racist he should turn it down and cancel his contract.
“Another athlete with the IQ of a kumquat.“
Why insult the kumquat, they’ve done nothing wrong.
Only a professional athlete or an actor could be so stupid to think a country is unfair to them or hard to live in when they make multiple millions annually while in their 20s and early 30s, with IQs that get to room temperature and very specific and limited talents and little experience or judgement.
They are epically perverse examples of human psychopathy. They should shunned and isolated from decent society.
Thank GOD I don’t have to boycott them; I NEVER WATCHED ANY OF THEIR STUPID CRAP ANYWAY.
A bunch of adult juvenile thugs getting away assault on a floor or field and it’s only called a foul, they do it outside their job and it’s called FELONY ASSAULT!
Don't let the door hit ya in the ass Ryan
He was thirsty as a mofo when he drank that jug of tainted KoolAid....
The only 2 sports I have ever cared about and studied to be better at are HUNTING and FISHING!
I hate kumquats
Got sick on them
He’d do anything to keep his money.
