Boyer, a former NFL player who spoke with Colin Kaepernick about kneeling before the national anthem in 2016, calls for unity and a meeting on behalf of America.
Fire all the SOBs then!. And I think the term is inmates running the ASYLUM, not prison. Something lost in translation there....
Yeah, by saying prison, McNair probably made the situation worse, as it implied that the owners are the 'screws'. Texans play the Seahawks, who are a mouthy bunch and will probably co-opt with the Texan's players for what ever they do. Sherman said that the players would have walked if they had guaranteed contracts. All this kneeling stuff really has gotten away from what ever message Kaepernick intended by his initial disgraceful stunt.
I didn't comment previously about Okung, previously, as he actually stands during the National Anthem. I don't mind the Black Power salute, it's kind of harmless and doesn't disrespect the country. On the other hand, think of the hoo-hah if some idiot decides to throw a "Sieg Heil". Okung is a victim of those who still play the race card as the cause of all ills in the country, and here he is, a millionaire because he can play a sport at a high level.
gonna leave this here as have seemingly been smushed/excused from the UT forum and may be enduring the same fate at the CMB.
was responding to Charging Bolts query as to why I had a 49er as my avatar, and of which I replied that it was Eric Reid (kneeling) and that I could expand on things if he wished....
ChargingBolts.... please do, you guys buddies?
not sure what your comment has to do w/anything, other than being snide, and.... personally happen to (really) disagree w/the way peoples of a non white complexion are oft treated and with how we go about criminalizing poverty and our blatant bias in housing black males in inordinate numbers in privatized prisons, and which oft involves cases of extreme violence and brutality, including murder and complete disregard for the law, let alone a person's dignity and basic human rights.
they are also portrayed incorrectly in the media as being anti NFL and anti American, when they are anti oppression and a living indictment for what ails this country and most all the world.... a belief in separation and our false sense of superiority.
most don't agree, albeit I wish instead of being berated and begrudged, that these players were instead supported by the NFL as rightly representing a group of peoples that has long languished under the weight of an undue oppression.
instead of being persecuted and imprisoned, these people need to have afforded them the dignity and due justice that any other American expects and is rendered. we are missing out on a valuable resource and asset in our brothers and sisters of another complexion.
Scandinavian prisons are virtually empty as they have no economic incentive nor apparent racial bias inherent to their prison and legal system. something has to give and it may as well start w/the NFL and their most impactful roster of predominantly black athletes.... yes bless,
