re: Keep politics out of sports please

People see politics because they choose to. There’s always a political angle to everything in life if you want there to be. If you don’t like something just ignore it. Football is always football.

The notion that they are only their for your (white people who don’t agree with their message) entertainment is insulting.

Wait, they dont let blacks and Polynesians watch games now? Frick, this is getting bad.

Can y’all not understand why these young black men wanting to do their part?

Calling for equality while getting every advantage imaginable over any other student, because you are good at a sport is absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure these guys are running to give up their scholarship, nutritionists, and brand new team lounge, because it's unfair that everyone doesn't get to use them.

Please tell me which specific players.

Provide names.

What a cop out, this is full thread of players unhappy with the lack of 'support", it is pretty much assumed that these players exist at some point. And if they exist they have turned a deaf ear to any other viewpoint.

If you want to touch on the pure racial aspect of it, blacks have the same if not more opportunity and benefits in many aspects of life over other races.

??????. I would say thats completely false and im white. I have worked construction for 20 plus yrs seen 1 black man in a supervision role.On the other hand I have seen many white guys with 0 skill are craft get supervision and even top craft pay on every job especially if he's a got a cousin are brother in law . On the flip side I've seen women are blacks get jobs because the company had to hire minoritys. Which I thinks not fair either . But I'm not stupid enuff to believe that they woulda got hired if not for the company policy requiring them to hire minoritys. So yes a black man has the same opportunity for employment as the white guys,but he's got to be certified and a good worker . The white guy needs no certification and has a opportunity to move up in most cases way faster with little to no certifications. So my point is why should any races have to work twice as hard as another race to accomplish the same results . Its like taking a middle class white kid comparing him to a black kid . Coming from the getto
We all no who's path in life is easiest.. PERIOD!

I do not disagree, but what no one asks is "Who created the ghettos i.e. the welfare state?" It was NOT whites, but people who often claim to be white. Clue: the same people who started the NAACP.
