If the NFL is really giving 100 million to black issues and communities they win. That money can do a lot of shit
Cause it's not about the money, bruh. That hundred would basically be paying them to shut up and play their position and not protest again, which ironically, wouldn't give them any freedom at all in this situation in a country that supposedly is full of freedoms. The league would've been better off taking that and putting it towards social awareness themselves on their own, in my opinion. That hundred is just a pretty pacifier.
The truth is that some NFL players protesting ain't gonna change shit in this country because the only people really affected by that are the 32 owners and eventually the players if revenues keep dropping.
I said it before and I'll say it again if black people really want to use protesting and boycotting as a means to equality then the only group of black people I think with that much leverage would be the black people in the military. If they all decided to go awol and boycott the military that is the only way I see protesting would make a big enough impact to create change on a massive scale.
We don't even make up that much of the military. Hell, we don't even get respect in the military as a whole, black folks in the military wouldn't change nothing. But it would if the fans of sports teams started thinking, cause a lot of us watch some kind of sports. Why do you think these leagues and owners are doing the most to shut up the athletes? Cause they know everybody will see.
Exactly why u shouldn't be sweating the league(a private organization) actually helping in some form of fashion. This shit starts and ends with human beings.
Which the league doesn't care about cause if they did, they wouldn't be trying to silence their employees when they're trying to use their platform in society to bring awareness to social issues. I get the hundred and I see it, but if they were really about helping then they would have been about that instead letting it get this far by clashing trying to kiss ass and making it seem like a last resort.
I'm sorry, I missed this. When did the league do this? Last time I checked, it is not a violation of any rule to do that.
I think he means the 100 million is to get them to shut up
