Ok. So, here's an idea. Blacks can stop their activism for Black issues. But so goes the cancer society shit, the Domestic violence shit, make a wish, ronald mcdonald house shit etc etc. If, the NFL should be just a sporting event then no type of activism, advocacy, representation should be allowed.

Trump’s ‘Son Of A Bitch’ Insult Strikes Nerve With NFL Players

(AP) — President Donald Trump struck a nerve with NFL players when he implored team owners to “get that son of a bitch off the field” for protesting during the national anthem.

The line drew loud applause at the president’s political rally in Huntsville, Alabama, but the words cut deep into America’s most popular sports league, where the majority of players are black and many grew up in tough neighborhoods, raised by strong women.

“I’m a son of a queen,” an emotional Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett said.

“There are no SOBs in this league,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said Sunday, when at least 200 NFL players either knelt, sat, stretched or prayed during “The Star-Spangled Banner” to protest Trump’s remarks. Three teams didn’t even take the field until the national anthem was over.

The protest campaign that started last year with former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was down to just six players last week. But Trump’s weekend attack on athletes sparked angry reactions from around the sports world and drew defiance from most of the NFL.

He suggested the NFL was going soft for cracking down on big hits. He uninvited the NBA champions Golden State Warriors to the White House after Stephen Curry and other players indicated they weren’t sure they would accept the invitation.

Players, owners and commissioners past and present chastised the president for his divisive remarks, but the angriest responses came from players upset that he’d insulted their mothers.

“Once again, this is a tragedy in this country that we have to sit here and still have these discussions,” Browns rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer said following a 31-28 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. “I know for a fact that I’m no son of a bitch, and I plan on continuing forward and doing whatever I can from my position to promote the equality that’s needed in this country.”

After calling for NFL players who protest to be fired, Trump tweeted Sunday that the league should make it mandatory to stand for the national anthem and that fans should shun anyone who doesn’t.

“It just amazes me with everything else going on in this world, especially involving the U.S., that’s what you’re concerned about, my man? You’re the leader of the free world and this is what you’re talking about?” said Dolphins safety Michael Thomas. “So, as a man, as a father, as an African-American man, as somebody in the NFL and one of those ‘sons of bitches,’ yeah, I took it personally.”

The issue reverberated across the Atlantic, where about two dozen players took a knee during the playing of the U.S. anthem at an NFL game between the Ravens and Jaguars in London.

“We stand with our brothers,” Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “They have the right, and we knelt with them today. To protest, non-violent protest, is as American as it gets, so we knelt with them today to let them know that we’re a unified front. There ain’t no dividing us. I guess we’re all son-of-a-bitches.”

Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson, who knelt at the Bucs-Vikings game, said Trump’s remarks were especially disturbing when juxtaposed to his recent comments equating white supremacists marching in Charlottesville, Virginia, with counter-protesters.

“Why is he singling out athletes?” Evans asked. “I really don’t really see him tweeting about all the other things going on, the neo-Nazis, the situation in Charlottesville. I don’t really see him talking about that much. But he has the time and the nerve to call out the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry, all of us in the NFL that took a knee out of protesting. He has the time to do that? It’s not right.

“And he called us SOBs, so that was very disrespectful.”

Jackson said, “It’s just blatant disrespect. I look at it as my mom’s the queen. (We’re) not sons of any ‘B’s.”

Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said he’ll go back to standing for the anthem next week but was eager to join in the protests Sunday, noting that he supports the military, considers himself a patriot and loves his country.

He said he just wanted to show solidarity with his colleagues “especially in the backdrop of our president making the comments about our players, about their mothers. And then you put that in conjunction with how he tried to gray-area Nazism and KKK members as being fine people, I had to take a knee.”

Linebacker Brandon Marshall, who hands out winter coats in Denver alongside his mother as part of his charity work, said the Broncos gathered Saturday night to talk about their reaction.

“We talked about the fact that while he called the (white supremacists in) Charlottesville very fine people, but we are sons of bitches,” said Marshall, who received the 2017 Courage Award from the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Alumni of Color for his stance against social injustice.

Marshall was a college teammate of Kaepernick, who remains unsigned. Many supporters believe teams are avoiding Kaepernick because of his protests.

On Sunday, some Dolphins players wore shirts supporting Kaepernick and even league owners and officials stood with players. Almost universally, owners and coaches criticized Trump’s comments.

“For me to single out any particular group of players and call them SOBs, to me, that is insulting and disgraceful,” Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said.“So I think the players deserve credit for what they do. And when it comes to speech they are entitled to speak. And we are entitled to listen. We are entitled to agree or disagree. But we’re not entitled to shut anybody’s speech down.”

That's the shit that pisses me off. You got all these idiot out there calling the NFL players selfish and brat and a bunch of other shit. Do they not know how much a lot of them give money, time, and other things to charity? I promise the average NFL player probably gives more in a year than Trump has given his whole life, and supposedly he has much more money than any of them.

i know im ranting but yall dont get tired of this shit?

while i may live a different type of lifestyle than most but that dont change our issue we face together.

i see the injustice in france, germany and the UK just like i keep an ear to the street in america.

real shit....they will stand with us...they are watching our moves.

i keep saying american blacks are the head and the worlds blacks is the body.

we can get this right

We can but everyone has got to play their part. I think the athletes\entertainers are doing theirs maybe not to every ones liking but nothing is perfect. I think us everyday working folks have got to strengthen our families, make sure we are in good physical health, train with firearms, support Black businesses, and continue to educate ourselves on the nuances of white supremacy and it's ultimate objectives.

There are mandatory charities that players have to participate in I believe.

These polar bears keep missing the point that it's racist to tell another race of people what cultural\community issues should be important to them, what they should support socially, and financially.

I was talking more about the ones who have their own charitable organizations or personal partnerships with charities. Plus a lot of them do work in their home communities that has nothing to do with the NFL. But yeah, you're definitely right about the other part.

You're correct many of them do. It doesn't piss me off though because, I know whites don't care. They ask stupid questions and make stupid comments to deflect. The perfect example is Kap the dude was already out in the streets before he took a knee. But whites don't want to hear about Blacks humanitarian efforts. It kills the lie that Blacks are lazy, shiftless animals.

They are still bringing up Chicago and asking well what are you doing in the Black community to stop this or that. And the answers are easy.

Melo built an after school program

David Robinson built a school.

An ungodly amount of athletes have given scholarships to kids

Warrick Dunn built homes.

Then you have Black Mothers and Fathers of slain Blacks who are activists. The lists of organizations are endless but whites don't give a flying fuck even when presented with evidence of what goes in Black communities of various socio-economic backgrounds.

Black people are (slowly) seeing things for what they are Trump's presidency is causing this....

black people been seen it...they seen this shit in the 60s

these niggas give up power but quick to flex.

part time thug ass niggas.

these niggas need to be called out

You mentioned the 60's a time when it was normal for racists to be overt with their bigotry. The white supremacists have changed their strategy and it affectively nullified black people. These days the white supremacists wants to get back to being overt with their racism, they're tired of speaking in code and that seems to coincide with more blacks standing up, more blacks speaking out, and getting out there and making change. Money don't make you free in this system my man.

it can.

there who basis right now is to fire you if you dont comply....

if i was smart with my money....then its fukk you. my family is good.

but if you trapped in debt and lifestyle....firing you will hold niggas at bay like a spkied dog collar

YANK!

back in line boy

You think so? If they really wanted to they can take your money away [tsu surf voice]AND THEN WHAT!![/tsu surf]

what you mean take my money away?

how?

if im smart with $500k then you firing me dont matter.

becuz i prepared.

so if i have 2mil..you shouldnt be able to tell me shit.

if you speaking on IRS type shit....thats different. but even they need a legit reason.

the almighty dollar is speaking louder than black issues.

take control of your money and you can take away the power a person has over you.

Lol at white supremacists needing legit reasons to do anything to black people. Even if you in a benz you still a nigga in a coup.

play by the rules an they need to break them to get you.

dont play by the rules they will break them to get you...but come back to the reason "you didnt play by the rules"

give them as little power as possible and taking your own power back.

so you saying....they buck broke you into not even trying?

YOU were the one that brought money into this, as if money can save you if they really wanted to fuck with you. No matter how smart you think you're being, they are in control and can easily take shit away. Does this mean that I'm saying we must lay down? NO. My point is you can't use money as a barometer to prove that white supremacy can't or don't affect you.

who said that?

these guy were threatened with being fired.

what dont you get?

money dont put you above the system but if you handle your shit correctly then you should be able to speak up.

matter of fact......why do you have to be threatened at all?

since when do niggas allow threats to bother them?

so you saying the rookie in mlb who stood up is stupid? or lebron doing it cuz he got his money already?

what you saying?

anything can be taken....

but standing up to something ...you have to prepare to have the microscope in your ass.

dont make it easy for them.

so what you saying again?
