Updated Sunday, Oct. 8, 2017, 3:11 p.m. EDT: President Asshat himself said on Twitter that he ordered Mike Pence to leave the game if players took a knee during the national anthem.
The Denver Broncos have officially left the protest for black lives behind. Maybe it was the president of white supremacy’s words commanding NFL team owners to fire players who don’t stand for the anthem. Maybe the players realized that they aren’t built for this protest life. Maybe they are scared. But either way,…
All of this is making my head hurt, but apparently, it is a thing for right-winged zealots who are so upset that grown men have taken a knee during their precious national anthem to make videos of themselves burning jerseys and team paraphernalia.
Among the pantheon of black athletes you don’t discuss negatively, Bill Russell is in the top five. All black men know that walking into a black barbershop and talking bad about Bill Russell is grounds for having your ass kicked. It’s like walking into a black church and talking bad about Jesus; it can bring out the…
Shannon Sharpe, the Hall of Fame former NFL tight end-turned-the most woke sports analyst to ever to do it, is back at it again dropping straight gems. Sharpe wasn’t feeling the show of NFL locked-arm unity after President Donald Trump came out and declared that any player who protested during the national anthem…
The American flag, drenched in the blood of American Indians and enslaved Africans, has been romanticized as a symbol of guardianship for all citizens of this nation. One of the main centerpieces of patriotism encapsulated in the flag’s meaning is military service.
“Sharon” from Williamstown, N.J., just can’t take the disrespect of the American flag from football players during the national anthem. She, like most other tone-deaf white Americans, still believes that taking a knee during the national anthem is about this stupid flag and that racist-ass song, so she called the…
When Sharp Cheddar Stalin called the mothers of NFL players “bitches” in Huntsville, Ala., his hillbilly conservative base cheered him on because he vilified the men for disrespecting “our flag.” He castigated them for not showing the proper reverence for the national anthem.
I spent just about all of Sunday watching football, from the early-afternoon games to the 4:30 p.m. game to that horrible night game (followed by an Insecure season finale watch party with friends—I’m #TeamDaniel). Do I feel guilty? Nah. Do I feel like the guy still taking the 503 line during the Montgomery Bus…
The Cleveland Browns, the one NFL team that have been the most demonstrably vocal in support of Colin Kaepernick’s principled stance against racial bias in U.S. policing, played a video before the start of the national anthem in their first game of the season Sunday.
The NFL season is upon us, and if you are a self-respecting black man, you don’t give a shit because you’re protesting this season for the way the league has treated Colin Kaepernick, whose silent stance against the killings of unarmed black, men, women and children has led him to being whiteballed by the NFL. But I…
First I’d like to give honor to the Most High (Snoop Dogg), the members of the pulpit, the pastor, his wife, his mistress, the mother of the church, and all the saints and sinners in the audience. I am here today to ask for your prayers.
Nearly 1,000 people showed up at the New York City headquarters of the National Football League Wednesday in support of Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback many see as being unfairly blackballed for “taking a knee” during the national anthem.
Some have confused Colin Kaepernick’s stance against police violence with an edict against police.
