Calling the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a “huge mistake”
Describing Martin Luther King Jr. as “awful” and “not a good person”
Stated “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to think, ‘I hope he’s qualified’”
Claimed successful Black women like Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson were “affirmative action picks” who “do not possess the cognitive capacity to be taken seriously”
The league only cares about black athletes to the degree that it can profit off their performance.
Case in point: Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem – which was honestly an extremely mild form of protest – and was immediately black-balled.
If they do care about black athletes, they clearly care about money a lot more.
Then think about how ‘just’ their presentation goes. Compare the owner and the ‘peripheral’ employees. There’s a better picture that I can’t find that is often used in sociology classes, where the owner of a team is in the presence of the cheerleaders and the players, and it can’t be beat for showing that if you’re a rich man wanting slaves and concubines, owning a team is pretty much the next best thing.
The last time I checked, and fuck me if I’m wrong, the NFL has several black athletes. What did kirk say about black people?

Remind me who the owners… wait, don’t. Let’s just look at a picture of the owners of the nfl.

The sports associations are fucked.
