If Our Black Billionaires Supported The NFL Players They Could All Protest

[2stepz_ahead]

supporting a cause should not have to depend on the next man handling you money.

you should be smart with your money from the jump and pass on the knowledge.

unless you a rookie..you have no reason to be living outside your means or stashing for injures.

this all revolves around poor money management skills and being a slave to supporting a lifestyle and family.

while its a good thing to support family...they will also be your downfall.

you only need to support your wife and kids and maybe parents.

everyone else needs to make better decisions or understand they need to work just as hard as you.

once you remove the monetary factor from this.....can the owners really threaten your job?

can your boss really threaten your job if you have a million plus stashed right now an your bills come out to like $1500/month?

can he really threaten your job if you have a backup plan? education? investments?

Every black billionaire world wide could take every dollar he has and he won't be able to touch the NFL. Money don't always equal influence when you get to those levels. The TV contracts the NFL holds alone would wipe out a competing league quickly.

 

[MarcusGarvey]

Most of them aint liquid like that and stop thinking billionaires will save you, they are statistically irrelevant, a true black middle class should always be the goal

 

[fortyacres]

Nobody really cares for the NFL apart from Americans, rich black people overseas dont really give a shit.

Soccer , Rugby , Cricket etc are bigger...

 

[playmaker88]

They dont need black billionaires they need courage.. people at give blood sweat and tears for these niggas to roll over ..

 

[skpjr78]

Neither Muhammad Ali, John Carlos or Tommie Smith needed a billionaire when they took their stands. Foh with that coward shit.

Black Heroes end up broke, thats the nature of the work.

Rosa Parks rent was being paid by Little Caesar CEO at the time of her death, the King family are fighting over memorabilias, Malcolm’s kids get arrested for petty crimes.

what your point in saying that?

 

[playmaker88]

The only sacrifice these nigga have to make is possibly the dollar.. we are the strongest we have ever been as a people.. but sadly we have the weakest intestinal fortitude,pride. if your freedom aint worth fighting for.. and losing a dollar over than what the fuck is..

but this is the type of society we live in. im talkin about black society in this instance

It’s a thank-less job, these people thought more about community uplift than whether theyd make the forbes list, which is what makes them special. Often when they die, they have little monetarily to pass on. Dont expect black elite who profit from their suffering to subsidize

 

[SneakDZA]

this thread is about billionaires giving millionaires money to not play football?

are you smoking dust?

i'm mad i wasted my time trying to make sense of this.

 

[grYmes]

If you need another man to take care of you in order to fight for a cause.. we already lost.

Well the NFL owners are talking about making a rule that says you absolutely must stand for the national anthem. Lets think this all the way through.

1. If all of the black players kneel for the national anthem, they will be fired.

2. If they get fired they will be replaced by b-list players

3. If they are replaced by b-list players people will stop watching NFL football because, well, watching b-list players is basically college football.

4. If NFL ratings drop then the advertising money and commercial ads will dry up.

5. When the advertising money and commercial ads dry up the NFL owners will lose money

6. When the NFL owners lose money you will see a change.

However, for all that to happen you'd have to convince the players that the movement is more important than their paychecks.

Between the Black churches and the Black upper class it shouldn't be too difficult to support the movement financially. The players might have to take a reduction in income but it will be worth it.

LOL at "only 5Million a year"

"need a billionaire backer so they dont go broke"

 

[whatevathehell]

Naw I respect their right to protest but you can't expect someone else to support them when it results in unfavorable consequences.

Many people choose not to stand up because of the repercussions.vit comes with the territory. What these players have to realize is that their protest needs to be done in solidarity..if all cowboys choose to kneel then WTF Jerry Jones really gonna do?

 

[rickmogul]

Y R we expecting and championing athletes who probably can barely read and write? They're younger than some folks on this board but they're held in the highest regard to somehow make change and or lead us. Plz! Them young boys wanna fuck stars, female reporters, turn up, shine and prove they still hood. Surprised its lasted this long. U wonder Y Kap has been so quite huh? More 2 it that meets the eye. Some folks need to closer analyze and be careful whom they designate as a Martyr!

This whole premise defeats the purpose of the protest. The protest is about injustice in America...these black players losing their jobs BECAUSE THEY ARE PROTESTING THE UNJUST KILLING OF BLACK PEOPLE....That's it.

The fact that they can get fired for it is the very system we need to target. Black billionaires should aim at the same target, not pay a grown man's salary to basically do nothing.
