Translation: The new anthem policy was approved by White team owners who literally think they own the Black athletes on their teams.
Be careful what you wish for, @NFL. The game CANNOT be played without the players and you’ll learn it the hard way when they #TakeAKnee on your whole football season.
The irony and unmitigated gall of White conservatives lamenting how “disrespectful” kneeling during the anthem is to America when they voted for a fucking TRAITOR and still wholeheartedly support every corrupt, anti-American, treasonous thing he’s doing. GTFOH.
NOTHING is more disrespectful to the flag, anthem, military and country than letting racist, sexist, ignorant, sociopath Donald Trump continue to *masquerade* as our POTUS while he’s under criminal investigation for colluding with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
American democracy and ALL of the civil/human rights advancements of the 20th century are currently under attack, gravely wounded and dying. At this point *not* taking a knee is disrespectful.
Being more outraged at the canaries in the coal mine than the toxicity in the air is quintessentially American.
Y’all aren’t gonna out-outrage or out-protest Black America, and you most certainly aren’t gonna threaten or censor us into disbelieving that our own lives matter. Give up on these fantasies now if you’re still clinging to them.
Y’all aren’t EVER gonna convince the average Black American that America is as free, fair, innocent and respectable as the average White American thinks it is. Stop expecting us to be blinded by privileges we simply DO NOT have.
No amount of wealth, fame or playing on Sundays can inoculate any Black man against America’s original sin. Not even the actual presidency could do it for Obama. If you can’t fathom any of the above, you’re the reason why the *civil* disobedience continues.
No justice, no peace.
No justice, no peace.
White supremacy/jingoism wants you to be more offended by Black players kneeling than you are about the fact that an ode to slavery and slaveholders is your nation’s anthem.

So says the TRAITOR who wipes his ass with the Constitution every day.
The NFL is so scared of Trump that it now will fine teams if players don’t stand for the anthem motherjones.com/media/2018/05/… via @MotherJones

That awkward moment when the racial injustice you’re committing to censor outrage and discourage protest about other racial injustices only sparks more outrage and protest. @NFL #NoJusticeNoPeace #TakeAKnee
