Matthew Stafford has made a lot of money in the NFL. However, he also comes from a lot of money. A fact which has led the Lions signal-caller to label himself a person of “privilege,” who now wants to get out of his “bubble.”

In an article titled, We Can’t Just Stick to Football, Stafford insists that it’s necessary for his team and others to address the perceived racial injustices in the country.

“Police brutality, white privilege, racism — it’s all real,” Stafford claims. “These are not political problems. These are human problems. It should not be seen as a political statement to discuss this stuff honestly.”

Stafford then wrote about his upbringing and the lack of diversity he experienced while growing up in a wealthy neighborhood.

And, didn't his significant other not too long ago jump on the bandwagon with some sort of apology? Fully expect the announcement that matt and the mrs will reduce what they live on down to a $100,000/yr and give the rest to some sort of social just us program. No? Guess that white privilege is shining through huh. So matty, how much more do you make than some lowly lineman? Hopefully the numbers continue to decline. I know we're done.

Shut up you self-loathing, guilty, privileged loser. Give up EVERYTHING and roam the streets to make up for your ongoing oppression of everyone else. What a freakin’ ingrate and nitwit of the first order. By the way...the national thug (and loser) league sucks.

And the worshipers of the NFL and its members on FR fell to their knees in unison and chanted, "Yasir Massa Thank you Massa, may I have another! NFL live forever! My tribute []money] is on the way!"

With hatred for America seeping from their every pore, the Gods of the NFL sneer," Back to kissing my feet, slaves!"

He is, as some blacks like to say, “a white boy.”

The thing is, black people, just roll their eyes or laugh when they hear white people say stuff like this.

What more can the NFL and its members do to demonstrate to its minions the degree of contempt they hold them in?

Why doesn’t he just quit and DEMAND that Koepernix(??) get his job and Stafford can GUARANTEE K salary for the next 20 or so years.

ANYONE can spout words, only a FEW really act their fantasies out.

NFL missing the boat..

They should declare ALL their games BLM meetings (they sponsor BLM anyway) and then charge to participate in the rally for 3 or so hours and sell food and trinkets.

The LIB mayors and govs will ALLOW it but not for you go to church or your local restaurant.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
