Robert Griffin III: Jackie Robinson breaking color barrier not political

[Fillerguy]

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?

What?

But Donald Trump is campaigning against DEI. and they did remove him simply for being black as part of their political agenda.
Literally a politician is the reason we have a controversy right now,

3 things you can count on him for.

• c00ning
• White girl
• Cornball brother

Did he post this while having no idea what was going on. The Jackie Robinson situation is political,sometimes there is overlap. What he means is that his political views are not pro black,and are not that of the average on code brotha. If not c00nish,or borderline c00nish its probably just a bunch of fence sitting.


So as someone whos not even willing to pretend to be pro black for t.v,this would put him at a disadvantage to have to talk politics. Because it would indeed cause him to sound like a c00n. Same reason people dont like to talk about politics or religion at work.

Yeah and Jim crow ain't Jackie. Jackie shouldn't be politicized as he was more than that

If there was no Jim Crow, there wouldn’t be a Jackie Robinson story.

He literally challenged laws, written and unwritten that were meant to disenfranchise black people.

That alone makes it more political.

So many of us are lost. We're actively failing our ancestors.

Eh. I get what Robert Griffin was trying to say. I think he was saying that Jackie Robinsons achievements should not be politicized and did so without thinking that it was a much a political achievement as much as it was a social achievement.

Don't get me wrong I disagree with RG3 and maybe be he didn't the gravity of that historic achievement and it did help set precedence for policy moving forward.

Nah. Jackie Robinson being brought up and removed is nothing other then political. His accomplishments are being thrown in as part of DEI. Which is political. Even though Jackie Robinson was decades before any of this DEI made up mess. It was political in the first place that he was the 1st Black man in MLB cause politics kept Black people out of it in to begin with.

If it wasnt political, then only one 'side' wouldnt be trying to do this.

And anyone who cant see that and is trying to make ANY excuse for this idiot, who works in sports , is black and had a degree in political science, needs help.

 

[get these nets]

There are no repercussions for people making slanted, disparaging, or inaccurate comments about Black people.
Today it's him, tomorrow another espn person will be shucking and jiving over another topic. And they will remain on the air.

[Voice of Reason]

This man graduated with a 3.7 GPA from Baylor …..in…..POLITICAL SCIENCE !!!
RG3 is an indictment of higher learning in this country…disgraceful.

[god shamgod]

I didn’t know jfk wrote a letter to Jackie Robinson

I see Robinson wrote him back after he became president

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Why don't Jack Johnson get any credit for breaking color barrier in sports (even though George Dixon did it in 1890 winning the first world Bantamweight title)
