Colin Kaepernick compares NFL tryouts to slavery

[UpAndComing]

This is how White people think. He's not wrong

 

[KidJSoul]

Never liked these comparisons.

NFL players are getting paid millions, and are famous... and have the choice.

It's disrespectful to actual slaves

 

[Monsanto]

I've heard the same sentiment from esteemed black intellectuals, writers and leaders. He's not wrong, however; it is clear where the scope in our tolerance to this subject is.

 

[Dad]

He compared the way the NFL nitpicks players to the way cacs would nitpick slaves bodies on the auction blocks.

I genuinely don’t see the issue

 

[Cladyclad]

I don’t know his heart. So I have to believe him

but I always imo thought it wasn’t honest. I really believe he was pouting about being benched and just came up with this protest shyt on a whim

with that said i do think he developed and really do care

naw they are wrong too. being examined and going through a physical to make millions of dollars has no parallel to slavery. its disrespectful and distasteful to compare the two. do you know the horrible things slaves went through? nfl players have to practice and go through meetings every week then get paid enough money every week to be able to buy a house. you can’t rationalize this.

That’s a shytty comparison.

The NFL is a professional sports league their combine is athletic testing and measurements and a health physical examination.

The players get paid millions of dollars to play a game once a week for a few months out the year. This is disrespectful to slaves who put in 18 hour work days in the fields for nothing.

The NFL is 30% white.

I guess us doing physicals and getting drug tested to get our routine jobs is some slavery shyt too

Funny thing is this is probably the most famous picture of Tom Brady

nobody will ever call that man a slave

The comparison in Kaeps show was about cacs benefiting off the hardwork of blacks for centuries - especially sports, the NFL in particular.

The auctions were a physical examination - just like the combines where cacs benefited off of blacks. Thats a valid comparison.

I'm starting to think people don't actually understand what makes slavery wrong

This guy is a clown it’s performative from the talking points to the perfectly manicured Afro on his head

No it’s not you can justify any bullshyt if you rationalize it enough.

Thank you.
There's too many horrifying stories for him him to make such a lazy companion

Err...except slaves weren't paid nor exempt of physical and mental torture
