Why? Because you don't agree with what they are doing? No one needs you to agree to take an action they decide to take. It's here. It was here when Obama was president, and it's been here since our founding. This country continues to make "changes" none of which actually force us white Americans to acknowledge that we are not who this country really belongs to. We as a nation have yet to live up to the ideal that all are created equal. Pick any of these if you care to actually understand. You won't because you don't. Though you will find arguments on both sides in such a simple search and both sides are worth reading even if the ones you agree are wrong. https://www.google.com/search?q=evi...rome..69i57.2703j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Attending an NFL game is a luxury. No one expects poor people to attend. And not ALL poor people, or people who can't afford an NFL ticket, are non-white...duh. If it is, it's a pretty superficial and ineffective way to do it. But if that's what they want to do, the real question again is, why the hell do you care? Because Black is used to recognize an ethnicity or culture. It becomes a proper noun. White historically has NOT been used that way because as white people, we tend to say we are Italian, German, Irish, English, etc. Whereas you don't care when referring to Black people if they are Jamaican, Nigerian, Aboriginal, etc. See the difference?
Sport can be defined multiple ways. Some ways define involving physical activity, and other ways define it as leisure time. Fishing certainly isn't easy. Neither is golf. Though neither are the most physically demanding. You can call either sport, but there's a distinction between fishing and running track for sure.
I can't. And that's my point. The term "black" or "African American" is woefully inadequate. As is "hispanic." These are terms invented by white people so they don't have to be openly racist and say "they all look a like to me" to me anymore. Black people come from a variety of nations including this one and don't all share the same culture and background. But we as a nation have taken the word "black" as if it means something more than just the color of one's skin. So that's actually you and me why it's capitalized. How did you get that?
I didn't CHOOSE to put political statements on the football field, they did. How about next week they put "End Abortions"? Then "Protect Guns". Then "End Affirmative Action".
yes sport being about athleticism is bullcrap, would hate to meet you in the field champ youd totally own me.
Race IS a political tool these days, the "systemic racism", white privilege, BLM, why does a football game have to get political? Why inject serious social issues into it, it's entertainment. How about the other issues I mentioned? Why not hold an event to end racism that might actually do something to end racism. It's not something I care to engage in with sports on the field or other such events or escapes. If I take my date to a very expensive restaurant with an excellent and romantic atmosphere when we sit at our table I don't want to see "End Racism" stenciled on the tablecloth. Yes I support ending racism, but I don't have to have it tossed in my face everywhere.
YOU GUYS WON'T LET IT END!!!!! Every week you guys find something new that's racist. You've already said books, movies, haircuts, selling tacos, clothes, the Oscars, curfews, anti gang units, stop and frisk, video of crimes, our justice system, cops, statues, flags, border security, voter ID, Kate Smith, physical descriptions of perps, expecting someone to be on time, shoes, sweaters, the masks we have to wear, the suburbs, the china virus, math and now, just today, grammar is racist. One of my all time favorites is Philly calling bullet proof glass racist or Maxine Waters saying it's racist to ask how she can afford the house she lives in. You won't let it end. By next week you folks will have a few more things that for centuries weren't considered racist, but they will be once a basement dwelling social justice warrior posts it on the internet. Edit: I forgot to say the left considers chess to be racist because white moves first. Edit part 2: Norwegian flag mistaken for Confederate flag removed ST. JOHNS, Mich. (AP) — Owners of a Michigan bed and breakfast have removed a Norwegian flag outside of their business after being accused of promoting racism from people who think that it is a Confederate flag. https://apnews.com/ed0d469d2b6d81f7f468a27ce429f74f
It isn't tossed in your face everywhere. Racism is on its' last legs as far as being a relevant force. Time to put the knee on the neck, so to speak.
