Robert Griffin III: Jackie Robinson breaking color barrier not political

Every brother doesn't have to be a Panther, but I truly wonder what happens in the upbringing of someone like this to cause them to end up this way.

‘Stupidest Human Being Alive’: Ex-NFL QB Robert Griffin III Under Fire For Claiming Jackie Robinson Breaking Color Barrier Wasn’t Political

Retired NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III faced intense heat on social media when he said Jackie Robinson breaking the MLB's color barrier wasn't political.

Breaking the racial barrier was social, not political. Which political party is trying to claim responsibility for Jackie Robinson? Especially at that time when both were openly ?

Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier wasn't any more political than the Kentucky vs UTEP National Title game back in the day. Both were social and had great impacts on Black America and American Sports.

Cats stay letting these political parties obstruct our history.

I understand what he’s trying to say. This history shouldn’t be caught up in Donald Trump’s campaign against DEI. So the next president comes in and erased Ty Cobb (known mega racist) from all federal records?

I'm sorry, but i can never take a swirlers opinion on racial politics seriously.

And too many brehs on that "im one the good ones" type shyt with their partners.

So you don't care to listen to anyone who thinks differently than you?

I don't agree with RG3 but the internet now is about finding what someone said and to be outraged about it.

This is stupid. Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier was absolutely political, because it was a direct challenge to a political system built on segregation. You can't ignore that the barriers he faced were being upheld by laws and policies, and the resistance to integrating baseball wasn't just from fans, but from politicians and institutions, too. Stop trying to sanitize Black history to justify its erasure.

That's a lie. RG3 only made that dumbass statement cuz SAS and Mila went off on the DOD about the issue on ESPN. So Rg3 was saying not to talk politics on sports shows.
