Richard Sherman says people are ignoring message of NFL players' protests

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman did not take questions from reporters on Wednesday during his media session, instead reading a statement that said the message of NFL players’ protests during the national anthem has been lost.

[artichokegrower]

And when you tell a kid, ‘When you're dealing with police, just put your hands up and comply with everything,' and there's still a chance of them getting shot and no repercussions for anyone, that's an unfortunate time to be living. That's an unfortunate place to be in.”

He would be better off telling black kids how to deal with black men who are more likely to shoot you than a police officer

" I’m doing none of those things."

And Richard Sherman got into Stanford how?

[Mr. Jeeves]

Richard, that just means the form of protest angers the public too much to be effective - and a new tactic is in order.

Because in some cases (ie, Kaepernick's) their true motives and agenda go way beyond just the alleged police brutality or perceived bias.

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, since dating activist DJ

“'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur.

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Who Is Doing the Community Organizing for Black Lives Matter Spectacle?

Not many Black Lives Matter morons would have the initiative to get a poster printed. But it's no mystery where they get the signs that they jab in the air as they chant "What do we want? Dead cops!" The supplier is printed right across the bottom: revcom.us .

'Rev' is for revolutionary.
'Com' is for communist.

Revcom.us bills itself as "the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA." The explicit objective is to overthrow our constitutional republic and replace it with an oligarchical collectivist dictatorship along the lines of North Korea and the Soviet Union.

Why would advocates of a communist police state agitate against the police? Because as leftists used to admit openly, the issue is never the issue. This isn't about the police, any more than it is about blacks. It is about destabilizing the system so as to create opportunities to weaken it and eventually overthrow it.

That's what community organizing boils down to. These people have taken over the executive branch of the federal government; why would they stop there?

The next hill they take will be federal control of local police. After that, things will start to get scary.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

The 1992 LA/Rodney King riots were instigated by the Revolutionary Communist Party...

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

Richard Sherman says people are ignoring message of NFL players' protests

Why yes, yes they are.

[pepsionice]

If I go to a baseball game or watch it via TV....I’m into the game itself. Same for basketball, hockey, etc.

For some idiots sitting there and drawing $500,000 a year to play 16 lousy Sunday or Monday games....and wanting to huff up on some logic that I care about their feelings over such-and-such agenda item....is about the most ridiculous logic that I’ve seen in forty years.

Everyone should do the NFL a favor, and just cut back to watching one single game of NFL action a week, period. Pick your favorite team and just give up the two or three other games that you might have watched. Let the TV sponsors know what you are doing and just sit back. The sponsors will ask for rebates on their advertising and the NFL will start talking about pay cuts in the contracts for the 2017 period. People will realize the error in their thinking by that point.

[artichokegrower]

In May 2014, Sherman became one of the NFL’s highest-paid defensive players after signing a $57.4 million contract extension, with $30 million guaranteed, with the Seahawks

The message is lost? There is no message.

I listened to Kaepernick’s several “messages,” and even went back to read the transcripts. His messages were simply moronic, unconsidered repetition of a bunch of empty non sequiturs and cliches about “oppression” or “black people getting killed dead in the streets.”

Sherman’s are no different.

[oh8eleven]

people are ignoring message of NFL players' protests
We're not only ignoring the message, we're ignoring the protest, the players, and the NFL.

Richard Sherman says people are ignoring message of NFL players’ protests

We are ignoring the the NFL as a whole. They want to become a political entity instead of a sports team then GOODBYE. The NFL needs to be cleaned up entirely. Too much drugs, rape, assaults period.

[joshua c]

In Richard Sherman’ world, it is not possible that people disagree with the protest. We just do not understand it.

Protesting at work is never a good idea.

[Psalm 144]

“Life is tough on the plantation.”

Yes it is. The nation has treated these intellectuals poorly.

[grania]

There are people out there in Charlotte rioting, their anger fueled by sports idols who tell them the police want to shoot them. One of the rioters was killed by another rioter. The message I get from that is that these NFL fools, the NFL for allowing it, those who participate, and their enablers have blood on their hands.

[fungoking]

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman did not take questions from reporters...

Because he and the rest don't want a debate, just blind acceptance.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Please allow me to ignore you, the protest and the NFL...
