Colin Kaepernick compares NFL tryouts to slavery

[Apprentice]

Lol man I thank the lord everyday that our people today did not have to endure what the ancestors did

nikkas comparing job interviews to the auction block
And nikkas real live in here defending it

I guess the NBA combine is similar to slavery too, no? Why jus stop at the NFL?

I know the term is frowned upon but, this is what being toxically woke looks like. It's all done to gain clout and brownie points from others.

I said this in the gruden thread. The combine looks like slave tryouts

Cuz it’s about an NFL player

 

[Apprentice]

Cuz it’s about an NFL player

All sports where these players have to do physical interviews to make millions = slavery

great analogy

 

[BaltimoreTwilightMarauder]

Imagine if a white nfl player compared their experience at the combine to slavery

THATS how stupid this sounds.

Nah. He was talking about the assessing of fitness, the auction block style, the comparison of men to beasts of labor, the financial value assigned for the completion of physical tasks in a certain a manner.

If your job told you and all your majority black co-workers to strip down to compression shorts and run, lift and jump while your your 100% white management all made comparisons of you to beasts of burden and determined your value based on this, then yeah I would say your job has a slave auction vibe to it.

NFL is not slavery, never was never has been. But if you dont see how one looks like the other, then you simply dont see it.

Just like ESPN aint slavery, but that player auction was set up to look like some suspect shyt.


But its nothing to argue over, if you dont see it, it aint a big deal.

You the homie but shut up

“Physical interview” = commodity

[Phantum]

Be obtuse because you love football so much brehs

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

They took bits and pieces of the auction process and implemented into the combine. Nothing more to it.

 

[The Fade]

Not football but

Said that in the thread title but now
