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.

He should donate his salary to his black team mates as penance for his privilege.

I remember playing sports as a kid. Whenever things got tuff and it looked like we were going to loose the game, it was always the “superstars” that pulled up lame and faked an injury.

They are fully aware that no one is watching them.

I’m boycotting the NFL, NBA, and MLB.

Don't forget the two new Woke leagues, NASCAR and not to be outdone, the NHL.

Weekends are now free.

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.

Odd isn't it, these half-ricans choose to identify as black rather than privileged white.
Gosh, maybe White Privilege isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Man am I sick of this. Since when does being a football player for a third rate team make you an expert on government, philosophy, and how a republic functions. Too bad he makes a jillion dollars in our messed up society. Trying to care about what he says, nothing happening/...

Was watching something yesterday about Black MLB players being interviewed and they were ‘checking’ with this guy, teams were going to vote and be in solidarity etc.

I was in a restaurant owned by a Black friend of mine this noon and we were discussing the Phillies voting to cancel last nights game and I put the ‘blame’ on the Nationals also as they should have demanded a forfeit seeing as how they need every win they can get. (I don’t think a forfeit was available)

Anyway after he (jokingly) told me how I was ‘misreading’ the reason I told him that the ONLY people the MLB players should talk to is the Latino players and ask them ONE question:

Would you rather be here in this country where you are considered ‘2nd class citizens’ OR back in _______ playing.

WE know the answer even to those that have been here a while AND if the Whites and Blacks feel all that oppressed here in the land of ‘Milk & Honey’ just quit and am sure the hinterlands of the Dominican Republic etal will be able to fill the ranks with people who APPRECIATE the game and the opportunity to become MILLIONAIRES while playing a game they ‘love’.

Juan Soto’s family is in this country (OR were last year) and I can see that 21 yo telling his mother and father that it is/was demeaning to be playing in this unjust land and they were going back home.

where in the founding documents, or even supporting writings does it say USofA was founded on owning slaves or bringing people here as slaves?

when the first Englishmen, Frenchmen and Spaniards landed on the shores of the New World, they found slavery firmly ensconced in the ‘locals’. As it was in the rest of the world. To single out the English is racist to the core.
