If they want to live in a separate country, then so be it! Just don’t expect any money from us.

Is this a White nation? Is this a Christian nation?

Is this a Black Nation?

The Owners [Masters] need to turn ownership of the teams over to the players [Slaves].

“I recommend we find them a country to go with that anthem.”

Makes me think of Liberia.

Hockey on ice is watchable but there is a trend to be pro-homosexual (logos changed to rainbow colors, for instance), homosexual-theme nights, etc. and a black female was recently hired as a VP who supposedly will change the image of the league to be... wait for it .... “more inclusive.” You know what that means. White boys to the end of the line.... just leave your money.

This is bs it’s a race slander lie and I will not support any group that engages in this fantasy.

Now the NFL honors black people but not America? They are done.

So when are they going to print “BLM” in each endzone?

The NFL is finished. Only the most cucked fans will go to the games.

They're making a play for those young woke white people that were in on the BLM riots.

Joke's on them because their game is soccer.

Reminds me of the article written a few years ago by a female who said the future of sports was minorities playing it (also known as making bread), woman as execs and sports writers (getting paid) and white males supporting the industries (spending the money to prop the first two). Let’s see if the last of those three still holds from here on out.
