This is actually kinda pathetic. Jim Lampley madeva huge point tonight. No athlete today would have taken the stance Ali had taken during that three year period.
So don't just fault Jeter. If any other athlete were faced with that predicament, they would fold.
Exactly. You literally had Donald Sterling telling his side piece to not bring "******s" to his games and when the whole team of nikkas that are employed by him had a chance to knock the sport on its ass (in the playoffs no less) they bytched up and turned their shirts inside out.
Ali was right. No Vietcong ever called him a ****** but since the infancy of this nation a millions of CACs and white supremacist practitioners have had no issue with using "******" with the near easy of something like talking a shyt. It was/is a natural reflex to them.
So piling on Jeter in this instance is lame. He is MJ Jr. when it comes to speaking on social issues and frankly I don't think he even knows enough to take a stance on any real issues. Dude been in a bubble since he was 16 and if he ever wanted to feel "black" all he has to do is turn to his dad or Gerald Williams, his bff
If athletes wanted to speak up, they would. Because there's been enough police shootings in the last 5 years alone to kick start their activism. It's a matter of picking a cause. Truth is a lot of these dudes get a check from white daddy, got thots to trick off on, care more about the sport and (more importantly) know that even somewhat speaking on real shyt somehow pulls them back into a world they wanna escape forever, but only visit on occasion.
