Diddy ditches NFL ownership aspirations so he's not associated with oppressing black men

Sean 'Diddy' Combs says he's no longer interested in owning an NFL team.
The 48-year-old rap impresario, who previously sought to buy the Carolina Panthers franchise, said on BigBoyTV Thursday that he's put off by the league's recent ruling that mandates players stand for The Star Spangled Banner or remain in the locker room, risking fines if they take a knee, the gesture started by quarterback Colin Kaepernick during the 2016 season.
'This last move ... I don’t even want to own an NFL team no more,' the Can't Nobody Hold Me Down singer said, stressing how bad he had hoped to be a firebrand as an owner in the league. (Diddy in December took to social media to vow he'd 'be the best NFL owner that you can imagine,' and would 'immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation and put him in the running for next year's starting quarterback.'
'I was one of the two last bids for the Panthers,' Diddy said. 'Man, I really wanted to go in there and be a part of the NFL and try to be a positive change.'
But with the rule coming down from the league last month from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Diddy said he's had a change of heart about what being an NFL owner would mean.
'I don’t want to be associated with oppressing black men,' he said. 'I don’t want to be associated with telling grown a-- men what they can do and cannot do.
'I'm just at a point where my feelings are hurt because I'm such an NFL fan. And I hope they do what they have to do to fix it. And I hope that they re-engage my dream to want to do that, because if not, I don't want to be associated, to be around a table that does that to people at all.'

Oppression 
They make more in one year than almost every person here makes in 20 and have to abide by company rules that are less restrictive than we do.

Boom you don’t even believe if CC trotted out the Pelicans lineup with LeBron they’d lose.
You know we have it pretty good in this country today if that is considered oppression.

How are you going to be even remotely good as an owner if this is your plan? Politics and other bullshite aside, you’re immediately doing the worst thing imaginable for that team.

You don't even have to stand unless you're on the field for the anthem.
The NBA is really oppressive. They don't even let you stay in the locker room.
