Colin Kaepernick refuses “to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people”...

[usmarin3]

These niggas seriously think this money is gonna insulate them from this racism shit. Them white folks will give you that wake up call with the quickness. Have you out in these streets like Tiger Woods.

How they got Tiger?

I mean when they found out all those infedility charges all that Cablanasian shit didn't seem to matter. The man lost a shit ton of endorsements, his fellow professionals/golf analysts started taking shots at him. All this for cheating. smh Tiger was a womanizer and so was Arnold Palmer, yet somehow his past seem to get brushed under the rug.

These mfs just be waiting for a nigga to fuck up to humble them.

Is he lying though?

Granted, he probably shouldn't have said it..........but it's probably what a lot of these athletes are thinking anyway.

Even if they're not consciously thinking it, their actions (or lack therof)............and overall lack of support for Kaepernick (with a few exceptions)...........indicate that his situation isn't a priority for them.

Its what most people think and their employers know it. They dont call people "wage slaves" for nothing. When someone else controls your livelihood, you put the power in their hands, leaving situations like this. Doesnt matter if its millions or a couple thousand. As old folks say, even the devil will give you a dollar.

Lol at comparin him to somebody 30 yrs before his time like we don't live in the land of political correct these days. Tigers past would have been swept under too if he came back and won. Nigga is still top 20 grossing athlete in the world and hasn't won a tournament in like 3yrs, he's got bigger problems then worrying about what white ppl think of him.

Not everybody is a civil rights activist they get payed to run a ball who made them qualified to speak on anything past that..

Nigga then say "no comment" & keep it moving. Why is Dez Bryant speaking on something he has no interest in? Niggaz be cosigning coonery

Jordan actually does donate in silence but he doesnt state shit publicly for fear of monetary loss...

Which in some ways is even worse

 

[leftcoastkev]

It looks bad. He's saying ain't built for it. But he is saying what the rest of the players are thinking while they stand during the anthem.

Other than that.....I don't think the beer belching scratching their ass fans in the stands without their hands over their hearts give a shit about players standing for the national anthem as much as they are internally jealous of ppl making more money than them and exercising their collective "power" in the ability to point the finger under the guise of "he's anti American".

Most ppl are powerless assholes. You give them any opening and opportunity to complain about something, they will....in order to feel like their voice counts.

@blackgod813 is a fuckin coon troll, don't pay him any mind

 

[jono]

You ain't gotta like it but he's keeping it real.

He gets paid to play a game and don't have a lot of time to do so, he has his own priorities.

Realest quote in this thread.....dude has made a lot of money (NFL and endorsements) but worried about "feeding his family".....man get this bad money management having sambo out of here

 

[usmarin3]

No wonder why the league and owners keep fucking these niggas during collective bargaining negotiations. These mfs don't have no backbone. Out here damn near committing suicide on the football field and can't even get a guaranteed contract.

So y'all going to act like most of y'all aren't in the same position as being employed... How many of y'all are going to speak up at your employer? None....

You was just in the NFL thread talking down on James Harrison because of the shit he didn't say

But now it's different?

Exactly.

As i said, its the situation most people are in and most folks cant rock the boat like that. Ive lost a job and left jobs cause of standing up for shit. No glory, no reward, just a pat on the back from niggas that stayed quiet and still working the bullshit. Had i extra mouths to feed i definitely would of thought twice bout the shit i did.

But im built different. That reason to keep quiet starts feeling like a weakness, like that fucker owns me, and i cant do shit. Fuck living like that... kids, might have to expect daddy to fuck up sometimes.

But thats the past, i aint bout to spend the next 30 years like that.
