Ray came back today with the religious freak act.
Hey guys, im better then you because i PRAYED for Kaepernick.
The whole time Shannon and Skip are looking at Ray like yesterday you couldnt tell who was better between Ryan Mallet and Kaepernick but today Kaepernick is your brother???
Then Shannon tries to educate Ray on how our community can move forward but Ray hits him back with we can just pray our oppresion away, if only we believed enough.
Its just sad man. Hard to see a player I loved so much become this type of person.

I just watch the clip, ray is full of bullshit... I felt plenty of mixed signals
He wants Kap to get back to his platform but he didn't vouch for him to get the job...
Talking about this stuff he's doing, man we don't give a damn about that at this pernt(I gave props in the past and I still do). The issue is about Kap...
I know how you feel fam
A few months back, Jerry Rice was on that coon shit too, just like Ray
I was just looking at my TV screen like...why Jerry why...
Ray was back-peddling on the cloak of prayer. Such bullshit. Shannon was about to get in his ass to but was cut off...
I wish someone would have asked Ray this, "You want him to get back on the field. The problem is no team is letting him on the field. What do you have to say about that?"
Knowing Ray he probably would have came back with, "I would pray."
He brought up about the whole not voting bullshit and repeating the same shit
This is our main problem in the community,many of us would rather pray for the oppression to go away than to take action.This praying shit hasn't worked for centuries yet we're still on this bullshit.
Until,we get rid of coons and stop this praying shit we won't progress as a people.
I get sick and tired,every time one of us gets gunned down by a race soldier;we go out of our way to forgive them.Yet,they can't stop talking about OJ Simpson and do everything in their power to remind us,how he "got away" with murder,but tell us to get over with slavery,mass incarceration,Jim Crow,and a list of other stuff.
I know how you feel fam
A few months back, Jerry Rice was on that coon shit too, just like Ray
I was just looking at my TV screen like...why Jerry why...
Then,he turn around and do a couple of chicken commercials.
I don't understand,how Hall of Fame athletes like Ray Lewis and Jerry Rice feel the need they got coon for white people.They have all the money in the world to past down to their kids for generation yet they still tap dancing for white folks,I don't understand it at all.
Him and everybody else basically want Kap to beg for a job,that's the main issue they have with him.
Motivate who? People trying to get brain damage?
Real talk that's question needs to be asked to him...since he's so passionate about the situation.
Shannon: You want him to get back on the field....
Ray: right, he needs to get to his platform, get back the the sanctuary....
Shannon: Why you didn't all him up, when the owner of the raven and your buddy called and asked you about signing Kap. Why you ain't helping this your brother as you're calling him today, get a job. Why you haven't put your neck on the line for him, like he's doing for so many. You want him to pray, you want him to ask people to pray for him, Kap don't do that brother, you don't know what they pray for. You think Mike Brown, Freddie Gray, the family of these people didn't pray that those killer would be found guilty? Now y'all I'm not saying don't pray, I'm very religions, I'm just saying if folks who's on the other side don't help this guy out, don't say what he would be doing...shut up!!!!!
Then Shannon should walk off the set!!!
so if keap shut ups now how will that motivate the next athlete?
Some of us,would rather take the money and have no dignity over than doing the right thing...
why are yall surprised,remember he was on that all lives matter bull shitI know how you feel fam
A few months back, Jerry Rice was on that coon shit too, just like Ray
I was just looking at my TV screen like...why Jerry why...
Motivating the people he played football with. He was a great leader on the football field but when it comes to talking about any social issues.
These fuckin bootlickin ass coons work together like Votron, man.
Former NFL quarterback Kordell Stewart is just the latest to offer advice to Colin Kaepernick, and it sounded fairly similar to what Ray Lewis stated in a video on Tuesday.
“Right now he’s not giving himself a chance,” Stewart said, via NFL No Huddle on TuneIn with Brian Webber. “I don’t think it’s the owners; I think it’s more or less Colin Kaepernick in my mind. Stay off of social media, and when it comes to the political side of everything, you can express yourself, you can do it quietly. I mean people are looking for former athletes and athletes out there doing some things that can be headline news. Do it from a charitable standpoint. Stay low-key about it. You don’t have to be so [loud], especially in this world of politics in the game of football.
“You see what’s taking place with him right now. He’s not even getting a chance to play and he’s better than 90 percent plus of the backups playing in the National Football League, let alone some starters that are playing right now.”
The Baltimore Ravens have been going back and forth on whether to sign the free agent QB, even consulting with former Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who had this to say to Kaepernick in a video message.
“The football field is our sanctuary,” Lewis said. “If you do nothing else, young man, get back on the football field and let your play speak for itself. And what you do off the field, don’t let too many people know, because they gonna judge you anyway, no matter what you do, no matter if it’s good or bad.”
At this point, Kaepernick is likely to begin the season without a squad and just hope to get a call due to a major injury to a starter.

It's amazing,how all these former players treating Kap like he committed a crime yet said nothing when Riley Cooper spew his racism on video....
Shitty situation but at the end of the day, the NFL is a business, and Kaepernicks gonna be viewed from the employee/employer model.
Kaepernick's image currently hurts their brand and that's what these owners aren't able to get past.
Even with all the merchandising, shirt sales and potential wins, Kaepernick still hurts their revenue stream on paper and isn't showing much ROI as calculated risk. These former players know that, which is why they keep telling Kaep to "silently protest", or "don't get too loud."
This has to be a decision that Kaepernick and he alone has to make.
Sacrifice the message for a paycheck or fuck the NFL entirely, cause he won't ever be able to do both.
The proverbial ball is, and always has been in Colin's court.

They remain gainfully employed because none of them became the name and face of the movement. Kaepernick did, and he’s the one paying for it with his career.

Bingo.
“Not a lot of guys are willing to step out there,” Sherman added. “So the guys not speaking up for him are doing him a disservice. There should be a lot more guys saying something. Most guys are like, ‘I don’t want my job to end up the same way.'”
Sherman told Bell that Kaepernick would have been a great fit in Seattle, but the Seahawks decided not to sign him. At least the Seahawks didn’t engage in an awkward, clumsy, slow-motion crowdsourcing exercise aimed at determining whether fans and sponsors would revolt before deciding whether to offer him a job.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett or whoever is playing for the Jets right now — whoever is starting for the Jets is terrible — have jobs. You’re telling me fans would rather you lose and put a worse player out there because a guy took a stand? That’s where it’s so troublesome to me. . . ." data-reactid="20">“For you to say you have to check with sponsors and fans because this guy took a knee and made a statement?” Sherman said regarding the Ravens’ apparently ongoing deliberations. “Now if you told me this guy threw eight pick-sixes last year and played like a bum, had no talent, that’s one thing. But Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mallett or whoever is playing for the Jets right now — whoever is starting for the Jets is terrible — have jobs. You’re telling me fans would rather you lose and put a worse player out there because a guy took a stand? That’s where it’s so troublesome to me. . . .
Yes he has. He has nearly won a championship. But team personnel throughout the league have been feeding “football only” nonsense to willing members of the media who pass it along happily to the public because they either don’t like what Kaepernick did or they hope to curry favor with their sources.
For months, the “football only” narrative had prevailed. Baltimore’s decision to be somewhat transparent unwittingly has exposed what’s really happening.
The owners want players to realize that they don’t own the fields, the stadiums, the uniforms, the logos. The teams possess and power the platform, and they choose to let the players occupy it. They’re not going to let players occupy it who step out of line in a way that both triggers criticism from the public and prompts other players to follow suit.
That was Kaepernick’s biggest sin, in the eyes of the vast majority of the league: He did something that caused other players to become aware of their rights, and to act on them.
Everything else that’s been said about Kaepernick is excuse-making and window dressing, no different from the Commissioner dealing with CTE concerns by essentially saying “yeah, but pro football players live longer than those of you who don’t bash your brains into broth.” Some of us see through it. Some of us don’t. Plenty of us don’t really want to.

You're right,the NFL is a business,but don't spread misinformation about a player to the media either.
You can't say it's all about his play on the field when Ryan Fitzpatrick is on his 7th team, Josh McCown on his 10th team and a list of other quarterbacks on their 3rd,4th and 5th chance...Hell,all these quarterbacks,who are getting signed don't even have Kaepernick's resume yet they keep talking about it's about play on the field.
They keep focusing on the people,who don't want Kaepernick on their team,what about the people,who do want him playing that part gets ignored in the discussion.
They keep talking about,how it's disrespectful to the military yet ignore thousands of military personnel came out and supported Kaepernick about his right to protest and his position on police brutality,but that gets ignore in the discussion.
They tell black people,we should protest in a different instead of rioting yet when Kaepernick does a quiet protest,they're offended.
The NFL and fans had no problem with players committing crimes yet there was no backlash then yet Kap take a stand against police brutality folks lose their god dayum mind and want to treat Kap like he committed fucking a crime.
If,the NFL want to lose credibility over some bullshit then fine,but we as black people don't have to watch bullshit ass games.
What's crazy,one the very first show of Undisputed last year, Skip said he was offended at first and then took a step back to listen to what Kap said and agreed with everything he had to say. We can't even get the coons to even listen to Kap let alone agree on his stance.
I can't stand Skip,because he's a Lebron hater,but I give him props for being rational on this subject .
I agree with everything you said.
However you have to understand, this is about perception.
Let's use your example of the NFL and fans being tolerant of consistent fuck ups:
When a player makes a mistake and is judged for it, it's not that big of a deal because the police and law-enforcement are sent in to do a job, and in turn are being made into the good guys.
Perception.. Police = Good / Player = Bad
Said player will have to do all the things that come with rehabbing his image be it donating to charity, public apologies, volunteering for the Salvation Army etc in order to "pay his debt to society" i.e. The NFL, and to be once again accepted in their good graces.
Perception..
What Kaep is doing, is nothing but telling the goddamn truth, but that truth goes against their views and beliefs of perception. Far beyond any reparable damage the NFL's PR department can bare and spin.
Once they feel they can't shape or mold that perception any longer, it's a wrap. They'll cut ties, slander your name or in Kaepernicks case, blackball you until you either 1) dance like a good little house negro, or 2) give up everything and live up with the truth.
Again, it's a shitty situation, but the NFL is a business and a very big one. One that really doesn't care too much about Colin Kapernick.
I will say this, and I've said it in numerous threads, but we as people of color need to support this brother. He sacrificing everything he's ever worked for, for us and our cause. We need to make sure he doesn't fall and slam into the ground. Start up gofundme pages, don't buy NFL shirts, I myself am gonna try my hardest not to watch a down until this man gets some redemption and acknowledgment. Protest in your way, but the NFL is outta pocket here and we need to support him in any way we can.
He needs us and we as black people CANNOT turn a blind eye this time.

I think some of us will be down for the protest,but too many of us will be like it's fucked up but go back to watching football....Don't get me wrong,I'm not trying to be a pessimist here and I want it to happen,but I think too many of us don't want to rock the boat...This is the time for us to say enough is a enough and come together like you said.
The one thing,we totally forgot was Ray Lewis son being accused of sexual assault yet want to preach to Kap...
