The Black NFL Delsuion

[ballscout1]

That's the most important one.

And the premise is wrong.

If the players will be retaliated against for"their bravery" and won't be on a roster next season.

Then they wasted their opportunity at any sort of power and their punishment will come during the offseason after that have played the remainder of this season and made the owners money.

Their move should have been now during the season where their actions would/could have both financial and actual effects.

They will be made examples of for symbolic actions. What is needed is rebellion and that would require disobedience that effects the ability of the games to make money.

as for them losing money......there is no movement without sacrifice.

IMO even players who don't agree would be wise to support the effort as it would have been now that the players show strength and resolve which in turn can/would result in a stronger position within the league.Better CBA, stronger union ,better protections.

Anywhere that demands we stand for a flag or anthem, we keep our money in our pockets until they stop making it a rule.

It's not the flag or anthem. Now owners must acknowledge the legitimacy of the protest.

Yup. In writing.

 

[bgbtylvr]

for folks who talk about boycotting the NFL, yall keep that shit in the collective mouths.

Feeling insecure in your position perhaps?

Unsure what this means.

I've basically been quiet on the reason I haven't been watching the NFL as much.

I firmly believe that Goodell is killing the game. This is even before the Kaep situation.

I usually commish a BGOL/SOL fantasy football league yearly *been doing it since 2010*. This is the first year I didn't renew the league.

After the Ray Rice fiasco, I knew the game was about to be fucked. That was the scandal that castrated Goodell.

Looking at all the posts on here, for folks who are openly boycotting, y'all keep talking about this shit. Honestly, there's nothing to really talk about anymore.

The ultimate victory, in my opinion, is if the league gets rid of Goodell, and replace him with a black military/foreign policy type person. In my opinion, Condi Rice would be good because she won't be afraid of the media spotlight like Goodell was.

Your job as back folks is to warn the others on your social media not to fall for any Kaepernick signing. Buy his book not a jersey. Any team that signs him is playing you for merchandise sales. They could easily double his signing money in dumbass jersey sales then cut him. Don't fall for the okie doke!

The PROBLEM is not Goodell.
You're not aware that the commish is the spokesperson for the ownership?

The problem is Goodell because he did not handle all of this well.

From Ray Rice to now Zeke.

He spoke for the owners because half of the owners are cowards.

The only thing I would say about the protest is this, you have the attention, now what are you going to do about it?

Are NFL players going to meet with Trump with our community's issues? To me that's the only way this can mean anything.

Rosa Parks was one of the symbols that brought down Jim Crow.

Will Kaep go meet with the president on our issues? If not, this will be a total waste of time, and energy. Just saying.

Goodell blew it. League looks like The Longest Yard movies now. All people see is abusers, cheaters, racism, etc. the league needs to be willing to let guys go for good to survive. Woman beaters should be banned from the league forever. That would bring women into the game in droves.

Fuck the NFL. DONT BUY JERSEYS!

Honestly, bringing women to the game is actually hurting the appeal because now we are worried about shit other than football.

I would say this, let the law be the law. If the law convicts a player, than its game over if its a felony. Bottomline.

 

[bgbtylvr]

Yup. Zeke is a straight up asshole. Should be done and done for the season.

 

[bgbtylvr]

There she be a nationwide boycott of all establishments related to the super bowl. We should make ratings the lowest ever, nobody should order food from any place that isn't black owned. Nobody go to a hooters or any Cac owned place to eat, drink or watch. Those seats should be empty. Don't even watch for the commercials. When those sponsors spend a million dollars for 30 second commercials and the ratings suck, they can renegotiate next year at a lower rate and cost the NFL millions for a single game.

Great rant, points too. I served and fuck the military, flag, anthem and especially the motherfucking NFL on all levels. I'm not standing for the anthem anymore either. I'll get Kaps book too. I'm a black man first, so fuck all that other shit. You don't get to shit on us as a people and think it's cool. Kiss my ass and fist mother fucking pump with the afrosheen pick in my hair mother fuckers!
