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.

Yeah, Shaun, I dreamed of being President, or mebbe just the HNIC and Chief Landscaper at a small estate in the NC coastal boondocks. But I decided against the highest office in the land. Although I did watch plenty of political theater on Snappy Sammy Smoot's WeeWee'd TeeVee and felt myself qualified. I just felt I could do the most for my country and civil rights dictating over my own l'il 6 acres. Self identifying as just another old redneck. d:^D

The fact that whites still exist is racism to those who are ripe for the jihad.

I wonder how much Shaun King got paid by George Soros to write his pro-Black Lives Matter screed. These Marxists barracuda are hiding in the Swamp waiting to attack Trump with every chance they get.

well I boycott the NFL due to “The Blackness Whining.” I have better things to do than watch people who run and fall down every couple of seconds and get paid so much to do it.

They always play NFL games under white lights. They never play under black lights.

Shaun,

Words cannot possibly express how much I don’t care about your opinion.

...my 10-year-old son...literally said to me, "Dad, we can't watch after what they've done to Colin and with all of those owners loving Donald Trump so much."

Bull crap. A dollar to a donut he never said that. Also, the fact that no one will pick Colin up says how owners perceive the fans reaction to his actions, not their actions. People have a hard time feeling sorry for someone who makes millions and then bitches about it while he working. If he wants to bitch on his own time, no problem, but when he's on the field, he represents more than himself, including those who pay his salary.

in spite of playing all of his cards right, this man can't get a job in the league

Playing all his cards right? Well, no.

Another jump-the-shark moment for the PC crowd.

“Waaaah, there aren’t enough blacks in football!!! WAAAAAHH!”

The absurdity of it all.

The Packers did their duty by hiring Ray Rhodes in 1999. Good guy, lousy head coach.

I watch maybe a quarter of football each season. When I do, I see black men, white men, and Polynesian men.

They seem to get along ok.

Those that don’t end up not getting picked up when their contracts run out.

Kap's QBR the last two seasons was 46 and 55. That doesn't get an NFL team into the playoffs.

Although he seemed to deny it today I suspect Kap wants starter pay even though the league now views him as a backup.

I’m boycotting the NFL because Stank Roenke is a lying, thieving worthless piece of fecal matter.

Believe me Shaun..... they could care less about either of us.

By the way.... nobody wants Kaepernick because the team who signs him will have a PR nightmare with their fanbase.... it has nothing whatsoever to do with race.

"High school assault
One of his experiences in high school was what he considered a hate crime assault.[16] King stated a "dozen rednecks" had beaten him and the injuries caused him to miss a portion of two years of high school due to multiple spinal surgeries.[11] A band teacher, two fellow students from King's high school, as well as King's wife, posted their recollection of the event to Facebook, backing King's account.[48][49][50]

The detective who investigated the case in 1995 described King's injuries as "minor". The associated police report noted that the incident revolved around a fight involving only one other student who defended his girlfriend after being allegedly threatened by King. The report did not indicate the incident was racially motivated. There is no mention of a "hate crime" either with local police or with the FBI.[48][51] Keith Broughton, the investigating detective, said he interviewed six witnesses put forth by the school's principal, including a teacher who broke up the fight. All of them described it as a one-on-one altercation.[48]

...

Questions regarding race
In August 2015, conservative websites questioned King's biracial identity based on information from King's birth certificate which lists Naomi Fleming and Jeffrey Wayne King as Shaun King's parents, both of whom are white.[1]"
