I know it's mentioned in NFL shit but this bullshit needs its own space and attention.

My fall Sunday calendar continues to be wide open....
2650563, any doubt that there is NFL collusion at this point is a joke

what I wish is if the Eagles weren't already an embarrassment of riches at QB that Kap goes there to solidify the team as "Woke Gods"
2650656, ^^^ had the exact same thought

they want to shop SB Foles pre-draft

and bring in Kap...I'm actually fine with that

can't believe this BS has been allowed to continue...and is now being used against other players

F it, I'll take Reid too

Has to be a lawsuit being filed as we speak
2650657, I'll say it again: NFL teams are a bunch of gutless hypocrites

If the same focus could be applied AGAINST the NFL. That shit would hurt.

But niggas ain't missing their football *shrugs*
2650669, i kind of agree, but i don't know how that applies to the nfl

we're not going to win a hate-off...a boycott alone isn't going to create change when the opposite boycott is likely to both be more stubborn and a larger percent of the audience.

we're left with starting a new league or emphasizing our support of the players is viable.

we could also just let football die and build better sports/entertainment.
2650731, IF it were applied, I think FOCUS would make the difference

let's create a hypothetical. suppose the raiders were to sign him. for all the people it would turn off, do we see fans of OTHER teams really caring that much or just mainly raider fans? To that end, think about all those who DID boycott or have still supported Kaep. If they all became Raiders fans and jersey sales went out the roof, then that alone would make a loud statement.

people had already stopped watching the NFL for one reason or the other, a more focused effort from a specific revenue generating demographic such as black viewership would impact TV contracts when they are next up for negotiation.

That's why I started with IF, because there are still a plethora of black people who partook in the NFL product. We still don't even know what a boycott of that scale would look like. However, with the treatment of Reid, I'd hope that folks can let go of this bullshit notion that it had ANYTHING to do with Kaep's play, and that these cracka ass crackas have lengthened their whip and comfortably put their boots back on the neck of these boys.

2650670, as a Seahawks fan, I'm really disappointed in the team.

that said, there's a lot of hidden racists up here in the "woke", "progressive" Seattle area. it's Black Lives Matter until it matters at their overpriced doorsteps...then it's HOLD UP.
