The Obama effect on the Eagles

Brian Dawkins' grandfather had told him the stories of the 1940s. His father had told him the stories of the 1960s. For black men, life at one point was almost too difficult to imagine.
That's why the Eagles' free safety stayed up into the wee hours Wednesday morning watching as a black man, Barack Obama, was chosen – popularly and electorally – to ascend Capitol Hill as the 44th President of the United States. For all the impossibilities Dawkins had personally conquered or heard tales of, a black man might just have taken down the biggest one.
On Jan. 20, 2009 a black man will be leader of the free world when President-elect Obama takes the oath of office.
President-elect Barack Obama with McNabb in 2005 at the White House"Here it is. And for me, I've always been one that as I grew up, I said that I can make it and play professional football because I saw guys in professional football that looked like me, that talked like me," Dawkins said.
"You hear people say, 'I want to be a doctor' because you've seen doctors that are African-American, 'I want to be a lawyer' because you see lawyers that are African-Americans. But people who say when you are little, 'I want to be president,' the likelihood of that happening was not high, but now it is. Not just for African-Americans, but for minorities in general."
The Obama movement that had captured the nation's interest for most of the past two years had grabbed hold of some in the NovaCare Complex locker room, as well. Some who had never voted in the past casted their ballots, and some who never watched the results waited awake.
And some who had merely a passing interest were now emotionally invested. Quarterback Donovan McNabb had never registered to vote in the past, but the emergence of Obama forced his hand.
Obama made his name as a community activist and lawyer in McNabb's native Chicago, and McNabb met him for the first time at the White House Correspondent's Dinner in 2005. The conversation, McNabb said, immediately turned to sports, another area in which Obama's well-versed.
"No one expected it to get to that point, but now we have," he said. "We can make change, just like Obama said, and change will be made."

FYI, might want to add this one to your bank of knowledge. Kind of helps out a lot in lighthearted banter.

Honestly the NFL does this on any footage or use of anything it can even tangentially claim ownership rights to.
It’s not that it’s political. They do this to high schools and shite too.

Would you have wanted the Biden Administration to use you in a video promoting the clot shot or income redistribution or open borders without your permission?
Not really but the Dawkins video is pretty much public domain at this point it's all over the internet and has been for years.

NIL rights basically applies to your NIL being used for profit.
The NFL airs publicly, for free, on national TV, there are clips of this all over the internet and it's been cirulating for years... and The White House is not using the pre-game entrance video for profit in any way.
I'd tell the NFL and Dawkins to get fricked and dare them sue.

What if you were an NFL player and some group aired a pro-trans kid ad on TV, with a game clip of you smiling and giving a thumbs up? Would you be okay with that? Should you have a right not to be associated with that in any way? Yes.
So again, his position is understandable.
