#BOYCOTTNFL TIME TO SHUT IT DOWN!

[Matt504]

ok here we go.

The NFL is mostly black. If you hurt the NFL financially you will be mostly hurting black men and their families. By trying to prove a point and hurt 32 white owners (who are basically so rich they're untouchable ANYWAY) you catch 1100 black families in the crossfire.

If you decide that that means you should support the NFL MORE to support these black familiies then more power to you. Nothing in my OP suggested that.

But instead of posting sarcastically and trying to derail the conversation, how about you do research and post facts backed with sources detailing how dismantling the sports league that employs the most blacks will benefit those blacks?

1100 families are a tiny minority of the 40+ million Black families here in America.

I agree that the boycotts from two sets of ppl are for different reasons but the point is one cause (blacks) may in the end be benefitting another cause (white supremacist)

The bus boycotts in the 1950's "benefitted" white supremacists also as white people didn't have to worry about ANY Black people being on the buses.

1) Cte
2) racist owners who look at black players as slaves
3) black balling kap
4) the product is trash, I watched the London game last year bengals vs breadsticks, by the end of it I wanted to kill myself

So screw em they won't get my money or my mind share

I'm just here to see what dumb responses OP gets after a well thought out thread.

 

[Kenny West]

You do realize that two different groups of people can boycott the same organization for two different sets of reasons right?

It's like some of you are so 1 dimensional in your reasoning that you look at what white people are doing and think the right thing is doing the opposite.

Good ol, Matt. Always quick to play obtuse.

You're asking me this as if this wasn't the first post of mine you quoted.

They were the OG boycotters. They were at it since like October of last year.

Coli nikkas bragging about ratings drops as if they caused them, really they just following in the footsteps of racists who wanted to hit black players in their pockets for protesting the flag.

take your bullshyt somewhere else.

Regardless of your reasoning Nazi trumpsters everywhere appreciate you fighting for their cause Find your nearest dive bar and collect your complementary Budweiser from your MAGA buddies

Your math is all crazy breh, you think an NFL team only has an owner and players? There's no other staff? Most of this non player staff ain't white? I bet the NFL alone has a huge staff

If you're saying that it's more pro black to support a league that's owners obviously care nothing about it's players (except their precious white qbs) and cares nothing about its black fans... then I don't know what to tell you...

Secondly you state in your prior post that hardly any black ppl even have Nielsen boxes so it doesn't matter if we boycott but somehow us boycotting is also snatching the food out of black children's mouths? Which one is it?

If you want to watch the NFL than hey do you

It doesn't matter when they started protesting, what matters is that they are protesting for two different reasons like @Matt504 said.

You're pretty much proving Matts point that yes, some of you are so 1 dimensional in your reasoning.

Yeah but generally when your ideas lead to you agreeing with raging white supremacists you probably fukked up somewhere in your line of thinking.

1100 families are a tiny minority of the 40+ million Black families here in America.

Okay but what is the upside of harming those 1100 black families? How does it help the 40+ million?

And I also don't see no sources breh you gone have to step it up

@El Coupeacabra I'd be more impressed if the #boycottNFL people were at least consistent in what they were boycotting. It shifts from "boycotting because of Kaep" to because of CTE & then if they haven't changed your mind you get labeled a c00n. So the lack of consistency combined with real misguided people leading this movement on here lead to what you're seeing everyday on here

Not reading through this thread, but as for my stance on why I'm not watching? I'll quote something I wrote.

"I want to be very clear in my stance so ya'll know how I'm rocking this fall. Unless free agent QB Colin Kaepernick is signed to a NFL roster this season, football will not be on my television this fall. Ever. At all. Don't talk to me about it, don't link me to anything about it. I'll occasionally check to see what Baltimore's record is (we're going to suck ass), but that's about the only vice I'll induldge.

Basketball will always be my #1 passion, but I like football. I really do, and I love my Ravens even more. However, as a black man first before anything else, it offends every fiber in my being that a man who chose to take a stand (or rather, a kneel) against the centuries long oppression of my people is clearly being punished for it by white supremacist cowards.Further more, it insults my intelligence that they honestly want me to believe that it is soley due to talent and not reputation that he is not on a roster: as if glowing names like Matt Schaub, Geno Smith, Blaine Gabbert and Ryan Fitzpatrick come anywhere close to the talent of a man who took his team to the Superbowl and lit the league on fire not that long ago.

That's right, in a league featuring drug addicts, wife beaters, adulterers, and convicted felons, it is a black man saying that "Hey, people being murdered, disenfranchised, deceived, and generally oppressed only because they have more melanin than you is wrong and it needs to stop right now" was the one "sin" deemed too egregious an inconvenience to tolerate.

I repeat, it offends me. It disgusts me, and while I'll always have a soft spot for watching privileged white boys and brainwashed house negros run and throw an oversized rubber egg up and down a field, I can't rock with the NFL right now. It's players, fan base and ESPECIALLY its owners can all kiss my black ass.

Just got this beautiful 4K HDR TV too. The games would have looked great on it, but i'm good. Ya'll can keep that fukk shyt. It ain't worth the sick feeling in my stomach. They called my bluff, so it is what it is. Holla at me when basketball starts."

NNFL defense force spammin the forum instead of getting ready for gameday

Make sure u c00ns stand for that anthem

No. I'm stating that its dumb as hell to put 1100 black players out of work in an attempt to show the owners we mean business. The owners are billionaires and will just sell the teams for more billions while the players will have to hold out/get cut/go broke...

What did you really achieve there?

Secondly you state in your prior post that hardly any black ppl even have Nielsen boxes so it doesn't matter if we boycott but somehow us boycotting is also snatching the food out of black children's mouths? Which one is it?

I questioned the reasoning. If you're boycotting for Kaep, for CTE, or for personal reasons then go ahead. If you're boycotting for pro-blackness...then you're harming more blacks than you're hurting so...again, what are you achieving?

If you want to watch the NFL than hey do you

I am

That's beautiful breh. I mean that. I respect that that you made a personal decision and are sticking to it. If that's what it means to you then I can't question that. I won't even try.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I'm kinda confused about this boycott man because a lot of these guys like Colin Kaepernick and now the Bennetts, Malcolm Jenkins, and others have or are using the NFL to help push their own agendas which is fine with me. If you want people to boycott then what's the point of caring about these dudes stances? Kap was the one that lost the most because he's out of the league now and might not get back in. Colin Kaepernick doesn't even have to play football anymore, his name is bigger now than it ever was in my opinion. So people are being called c00ns and all that for watching football but are applauding the guys who are still playing football when they sit or kneel or do some other stunt during the anthem or whatever. I'm just confused and need to understand what's going on with this boycott. It's all over the place.

 

[Detroit Wave]

Its nice out. Ima go hoop today

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Today is going to be tough but stay strong brehs.

Is it really? I mean I was going to get wings at an old favorite place of mine by the train station today, but there's plenty of other stuff or places to go today . If we're being real, there's a ton of reasons to tune out, from the flagrant short sighted greed of the owners, the way they view all the players as expendable cannon fodder, goodell and his rampant abuse of his office, and simply put, poor quality when it comes to their product. Football itself is great, but the NFL has been kinda shytty for years now if we're being real
