What's funny is that the majority of the people sticking up for Eric Reid probably lean towards the right, they're just not so far to the right that they let shite like this upset them.

It's the far right that gives the south a bad name. And this thread is proof

Reid is a joke! He needs to be treated like Kapernick.

No one has a problem with him protesting. We all have a right to protest peacefully. I have issue with what he’s protesting. It’s fake. It’s the same message as all the other race baiting con men before him.



I dunno. I think anyone that is willing to risk their earning potential to speak their mind believes in what they're protesting.

There's some level of respect I have for anyone that is risking something significant to stand up for what they believe in.

What’s fake? There’s actual data.

Take a break from the right-wing blogs you read and check out some facts. There is at the very least reason to understand why someone might be pissed off.

Why does it matter if he can play football?

Yep, I said multiple times that I don't really get Reid's protest, but it doesn't really bother me that he's doing it.

It's funny, because so many people are against Kaepernick because they want to separate politics from sports, yet those same people won't even do that because they can't cheer for Eric Reid because of his politics.

They just don't want to hear anything about politics from athletes unless it agrees with their worldview, then they're "speaking up against fake news" or something. Personally, I'd rather not deal with politics in sports, but I can appreciate athletes who are willing to fight for their beliefs. They have a bigger platform than most people, and the whole point of protests is to be heard.

No, I'm talking about you "literally cringing" everytime you hear Eric Reid's name.


Well if you understand the impact that his and Kaepernick’s made up bullshite is having, it should make you cringe. These are snake oil salesmen who’s entire goal is to create separate based on race.

Ok, and blacks represent 13% of the population yet represent more than 30% of the violent crimes.

Communities that are predominantly black are far more violent.

Countries that are predominantly black are far more violent.

And why do you have an issue with cops supposedly killing blacks? When blacks kill far more blacks than cops could ever do so in the city of Chicago alone. I’ll tell you why, because you don’t care about blacks being killed. You care about perpetuating the victim mentality and racial division.

Eric Reid has shite for brains. How did he become so radicalized? I’m guessing moving to San Francisco?

By becoming teammates/friends with Kaepernick who was radicalized by his stupid Muslim girlfriend to think that America is the worst place in the World. Shame what that city did to the man

Idk if I'm embarrassed, but he's an absolutely miserable person.

Did he sell soul to Kaep?

Yet you’re perfectly fine letting yet another civil rights leader (snake oil salesmen) tell you that the problems that plague a particular race are in no way due to their own decisions...

You seem reasonable.

No one is letting Eric Reid tell us anything...

We just don't care what he says and still enjoy watching him play football.

It's not that hard.

You don’t care because you have an inability to recognize what a terrible impact what he does and says has on our society. One day you’ll wake up and ask how it is that race relations haven’t improved, and have even reversed in your life. And then, maybe then you’ll wish you’d cared more about this rather than some game that has no impact on your life.
