Trend or not?

Seems to me that football has given him the platform he has to speak out.

Madness, I tell ya.

Bleacher Report

quote:

Eagles is a Houston native set to enter his junior season. Last season, he reeled in 32 receptions for 522 yards and six touchdowns.

With No. 1 wideout Devin Duvernay and No. 2 receiver Collin Johnson making the leap to the NFL, Eagles was expected to have a bigger role in 2020 and potentially emerge as quarterback Sam Ehlinger's top target.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of misguided people THIS gassed up before.

This is wild.

I won't pay taxes until I stop getting blamed for the actions of one person who happens to share my skin color

How bout them apples

It's probably effective

Southern dudes would be taking knees and holding up signs within a week if CFB were seriously threatened

Good.

Roger Goodell put a bullet in football and these protests will smother any remaining life out of it.

Time for a new professional football league.

there isn't a single black player that is going to sacrifice his opportunity at playing professional sports by virtue signaling to his own detriment...

If he does, then he deserves whatever may come his way...

I don’t think so. I’d just fish more.

Well.. giving up a golden opportunity for yourself and a potential multi-million dollar career is one way to fight racial injustice I guess

Do people not realize that the cop has been arrested, charged, and is awaiting trial? So why the rioting? They usually wait until after the unagreeable verdict to riot. It's like they skipped the waiting and jumped straight to rioting.

Celebs are doing it too on social media.

Guaranteed he plays. Spineless.

I hope he doesn’t though. See how that works out.

Does this guy think there isn't 100 people behind him waiting to play?

I get the frustrations and agree that something needs to be done, but how about people start suggesting ways to combat whatever perceived injustice they are experiencing instead of just being a crybaby.

I think everyone sees the problem they are protesting, but no one has proposed anything besides OMB and "vote democrate."

Or not one at all. If I have learned anything during this absence of sports, it’s that I really didn’t miss them like I thought I would.

Let these entitled bitches go and find a job somewhere else.

And as soon as his draft stock starts to tank, he will forget all about the fake rage

Actually I hope college football never plays another game. Then LSU can be nation champions forever!

Pull his scholarship immediately. Make him pay his own way if he wants to graduate.
