#BOYCOTTNFL TIME TO SHUT IT DOWN!

[Piff Perkins]

I support Kaep to but for 1000th time? Why isn't Kaep out furthering his message and agenda?

How we know his not kicked back in his mansion enjoying a beer and football today?

To be fair, his twitter is active and displays what he's doing. He's currently working with a variety of organizations in many states and has donated 900k to actionable causes. I like the fact that he's not talking much. He's an athlete, not a full time activist. Let the full time activists have the spotlight and money. I like that he's not trying to be "The Leader" of anyone or anything, he's just helping as much as he can. Little talk, no speeches. So many people just go around the country giving speeches and not working directly with organizations, getting their hands dirty.

A boring ass product that only puts on 2 games at a time

You're nothing but a well known troll thats been begging for my attention. Call you mom or something instead of harrasing me.

Dude is a strange character lol

I haven't even dissed anybody for watching the NFL and he writes me a fukking 2,000 word essay out the blue

But what do you expect from a guy who said "my wife could have slept with 200 guys in college and I still would have married her."

Guess I'm a casual NBA fan and I only know of Porzingis in this group. I have a less than fair idea of who Devin Booker is. Don't know who the fukk Greek Freak is.

NBA is a top heavy product man. As a Nuggets fan I have nothing to care or look forward to with the NBA because no top athlete wanna play in a fly over city

I think this is overstated

Top athletes in the nba wanna go where they can win.......Denver is not some cultural backwater wasteland.

Denver also had a decent shot at squeezing into the playoffs last year...

Drafting, trading and coaching are all opportunities for all teams to get better in the nba

it just so happens that some front offices are way more competent than others

I watched the raider game earlier via an illegal internet stream..


So I mean technically I didn't contribute to any rating or whatever..

Did I do it right or nah?

Well if you have to watch, then an illegal stream would be the best way

Y'all raider nikkas been waiting forever for a legit squad so I give u a pass

Thats fine when you don't have ear of millions of people that believe in your cause and are ready to mobilize.

its a lot of activist that never thought they would be the forefront of a movement but had no choice when it was apparent that they were called to do such a thing.

Im not saying speak about the NFL. Im saying speak on what people can do to change what he was speaking out against.

would you agree that for any type of change for blacks, UNITY is key #1?

to me, the fact that there are black people who dont even understand WHY other blacks are boycotting is scary and sad to me. Not saying you have to participate yourself, but to not even understand that this is bigger than football tells me how mentally shackled alot of blacks are.

Cop pulls over a man for failure to signal walks to his car with his gun drawn; driver goes OFF

^^^^^^This is ultimately what Kap was trying to bring awareness to and he's now out of a job for doing so.

If you're black and still cant understand this, you're worthless.

Again, im not saying you gotta participate yourself, but to legit get ANGRY at others for doing so screams ignorance and a complete lack of racial pride in being black in my opinion.

i agree UNITY is very critical and def a key component, more importantly to me....the violence among our people is holding us back, which i guess can be grouped into UNITY as you say.

I'm gonna keep it real with you brothers in here.....until we realize that violent crime is not the answer, we will continue to get shot down in the streets with little to no consequences.

Brothers don't like to hear this but we are all statistics in this society, and if statistics show that one segment of the population is doing MORE THAN HALF OF ALL VIOLENT crimes and yet make up such a small part of the population, then that segment will always be "the afterthought" "life valued not as much"


others don't value us or our lives b/c WE DON'T VALUE OUR OWN LIVES (not hollering at u brother, just making emphasis). We kill each other as much as we buy J's, of course them MFz are scared of us....a lot of US ARE SCARED OF US.


we gotta stop glorifying the "nicca mentality"

and don't get me started on that "stop snitching" shyt.

White Folks love that shiit. destroying our own community. The White Man just watching at this point

 

[Crude Abolitionist]

Never mind the NFL games... The Stats can show a Breh ain't even been to a thread all day... For the Principle and the Culture Soft shoe nikkas wouldn't understand...

 

[Bobby Lashleys eyebrows]

My girl is a die hard Texans fan and watches them shytty ass games by that racist ass owner, I usually go in the other room and watch Netflix.

What fans are citing this? Funny how you can acknowledge the racist cacs but not the tons of people not watching games because of Kap being black balled. Interesting how you guys more benefit of the doubt to Reddit cacs and Twitter dog avis then people who have actually signed petitions and rallied in support of Kaepernick in real life. Guys like Hank Aaron and other high profile people joining in as well. But nah, forget all of that. Let's give all credit to bitter cacs who may or may not be actually not watching games, even though the opening night decline this year was much larger than last years decline.

Literally NO ONE brought up this racist cac shyt until Thursday's ratings drop. Before it was oh the boycott isn't real, the boycott is just Coli NBA fans, blah blah blah. Now its "You guys are making cacs happy, so watching football is actually the best thing to do" man FOH.

Are you a cac or do you frequest racist cac websites or not? Let's say you actually follow blacks on social media and in real life instead of cacs....i doubt the "biggest reason cited" for not watching games would are the protests

Survey: Protests top reason NFL ratings dipped

I'm black. I also listen to a lot of sports radio (unfortunately). Sports radio has always been driven by white male resentment, but it has really ramped up over the protests. A lot of white people have an automatic, negative reaction to any discussion of race. They feel they're being accused of something and react like a guilty suspect. Even with the Bennett story this week, so much of the convo I heard on the radio was from angry white men doubting his story even after the video confirmed it.

So much of the resentment boils down to the fact that the league is full of black men being paid millions to play a game. So you hear all this dumb shyt like "just play sports I don't want to hear your opinions." Dance for me, basically. People are MAD. And to be honest, the product itself isn't that good so a lot of older white dudes are just tuning out. The NFL needs to really make the product better, specifically by cutting down commercials.

It isn't overstated. They did sign Millsap though.

as we discussed before brother. he hasn't done that b/c he had no end game/plan going into it. I think he had all the best intentions in the world at first, but towards the end he realized he was in over his head, and this wasn't something he would have done if he was still the 12-14 Kaep as a starter, before he hit his identity crisis phase, and starting listening to people who had their own agendas as well.

It would be diff if this was the same guy personality and attitude wise from the jump, but he kinda woke up one day (as a backup, on his way off the team) and became the next Louis Farrakhan.

like okay
