Professional Athletes... Million Dollar Slaves
Shut up and run Black boy run! If you're Black and you are an athlete that's all you are expected to do. When Black athletes think independently, support cultural movements or show resistance to oppression they are challenging white supremacy - the very entity that got them where they are.
When a Black man holds his Black fist in the air during United States’ National Anthem or refuses to stand during the song, he is depicted as disrespecting and dishonoring the country. What is not realized and acknowledged is the country never respected nor honored Blacks. That song and and that flag doesn't mean the same to Blacks as it does to Whites.
They forgot to teach you this part of the song:
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Yes, The Star Spangled Banner, United States’ National Anthem, literally celebrates the death of slaves.
Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback for San Francisco 49ers received an awakening and refused to stand for the national anthem before football games. At this time he was a backup to the starting quarterback. He brought them to the Superbowl a previous season. Kaepernick contributed heavily to league revenue. The 49ers quarterback had the 3rd highest selling jersey in 2014 and 7th most desired jersey in 2015. Yet his contract expired and no team has picked him up. As it appears he’s been ‘black-balled’.
Observe how White players who are out skilled by Black acquire largely monetized contracts. Seem like money is just thrown at them:
Brock Osweiler $72million
Mike Glennon $45million
Bryan Hoyer $12million
Besides Colin Kaepernick, stat leaders like Adrian Peterson(RB), Ray Rice(RB), DeAngelo Williams(RB), Ben Tate(RB), Trent Richardson(RB), Jamaal Charles(RB), Akeem Dent(LB), and Darrelle Revis(CB) are among several proficient Black players who are not signed by any National Football League team.
Good old White boy, Johnny Manziel widely underperformed in the big league. He had social problems and legal issues, even spiraling out of control to violence against his girlfriend. Yet he was given an invitation by the New Orleans Saints football organization to meet with them in regards to being on their roster.
Adrian Peterson, a top running back is asking for $8million dollars a year. Industry experts claim he has a value of only $1million/year. Running back position is one of the most rugged positions in football. If you touch that ball chances are very high you’re getting hit and hit hard. Those linebackers that hit you are approaching the 300 mark on the scale. A player takes on a high risk as a running back. Most running backs on teams are Black. Most quarterbacks are White. Ironic how usually the highest salaries go to quarterbacks.
The Jews who financed the slave trade and the Jews owning these teams today… what's the difference? So again shut up... know your role... and stay in your place boy!!!
