I’m not watching a single game until they address the league-wide bullshite pandering. Been going on for years. Players claiming they’re abused with double-digit millions per year, when there are dude’s roofing houses for $100 bucks a day. frick these divas.
3/4 don’t attend their classes in college, and half never even finish a degree, yet they’re going to “educate” the public on social issues. frick them. frick the NFL.

Okay big boy, I’ll bite.
State your qualifications on African-American culture and credentials on telling people who are not like you what they can and can’t do.

I'm sorry to tell you that this is the opposite of what is going to happen. The country has shifted to the left dramatically and the NFL is a business. They aren't going to sink their profits by running contrary to the political tides. It just wouldn't make financial sense.

I don’t like the way shite is going down either, but you’re missing the point. The players aren’t necessarily saying that they are they victims. They are talking about minorities as a whole. They are looking out for their fellow humans. It doesn’t change the fact that the rioters are taking things wayyyy too far, but you have blinders on if you think the players are talking about themselves.

I’m not sure how many nfl players actually finish their degree and don’t really blame the ones that don’t bc they enter the league to get paid while they can. However, the statement in regards to 3/4 of them don’t go to class is kind of a dumb statement. NCAA is strict on qualifications for eligibility. You have to make so much progress in your curriculum and maintain a certain gpa to be eligible. The head coach is also held responsible for maintaining a certain team gpa and could actually get penalized by the NCAA for not meeting it. Therefore, most coaches will do class check ins and have communication with professors and academic advisors to insure players stay eligible. They also provide mandatory study hall and tutoring pending a player’s gpa. If they don’t stay eligible then they can lose their scholarship and be kicked off the team. Most players should be at least in junior level status by the time they leave for the nfl.
