REAL TALK: Black NFL Coaches & GMs Should Be Standing UP for Kaepernick, Not The Players

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

Like seriously, where is Vance Joseph, Mike Tomlin, Marvin Lewis, Anthony Lynn, Jim Caldwell, Hue Jackson, & Todd Bowles, Jets?

And where's Rick Smith, Ozzie Newsome, Sashi Brown, Reggie McKenzie, and Doug Whaley?

I thought the reason that we were supposed to have Black coaches & GMs was to give us more power within the game, but not ONE of these nikkaz has stepped up to vocally advocate giving Kaep a shot?

Are these dudes merely puppets?

I mean, Tomlin went OUT OF HIS WAY to give Michael Vick (a shot one at that) a chance in Pittsburgh, but when it comes time to step up for brother Kaep, who's trying to make the world a better place for their kids to live in, these nikkaz are quiet as a church mouse.

I mean, like seriously?

Sashi Brown & Hue Jackson can't collectively do something in Cleveland?

I feel you but their hands are tied

 

[madness]

sounds great in theory. unfortunately it's much more complicated than that.

 

[Optimus Prime]

football coaches are a different race. once you are in that fraternity nothing else matters. its all about if the player came help the team win

 

[MikelArteta]

It's why you need ownership

I'm sure these presidents, GM's and coaches were shot down by someone higher up than them.

 

[David_TheMan]

I would love to see all of them stand up, but at the end of the day its what makes what Colin did so powerful, most would never do it.

 

[broller]

Ozzie was trying to get Kap but the owner didn't go with it.

No one pays to see them, they really hold no power. The players hold all the power but they don't realize that as a collective

 

[PortCityProphet]

the leash on black coaches is shorter than players. they don't have free reign to do as they please either. they mess up and they NEVER get back to where they are now.
Would it be nice if they signed him? yea absolutely. but do they have the power to? most likely not

 

[Piff Perkins]

How many of those coaches control that situation? Then you gotta consider some of them have a QB already (Caldwell and Tomlin don't need Kap).

Which black GM needs Kap...?

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Tomlin is only one of those coaches with true job security.

 

[Captain Crunch]

How it goes when these black GM's try to sign Kaep.

GM: Hey I have an idea on how to improve our QB situation.

Team owner: Go on

GM: We can sign Kaepernick, he'd fit our offense.

Team owner: That guy brings in a divisive energy

GM: Buy his ex-teammates loved him

Team owner:

GM:

Team owner: Anything else

GM: That's all

Team owner: I thought so

 

[BoBurnz]

Vance Joseph would be 6-2 with Kaep on the team. You can tell he's looking at Elway (who wrote a fukking letter to congress talking bout how the racist cac who replaced Scalia is "a great human being") like .

And we for REAL need to stop calling these rich cacs who bought these teams "owners", shyt creeps me the fukk out. They're chairmen of the organization like anybody else who owns a majority stake in a business franchise. The whole "owners" thing just... come on y'all we 50-70%+ of 3/4 leagues. Yet we got ONE black majority in the NBA and ONE black minority in the MLB?

 

[ABlackMan]

The players aren't even standing/kneeling with/for Kap or the shyt that's going on in today's world! Those big "protests" were all because Trump. This shyt is a big deal and talked about heavily because trump said something about it and called them sons of bytches and thats when they decided to take knees. Nobody fighting for Kap man. They're doing the same shyt we are, talking about how he should be in the league, or how he isn't getting a fair shake, but until they actually take a real stand and say, "fukk this shyt, something has got to change or else we don't play", no change will come. Y'all keep posting about this shyt as if something has changed? What's changed? Why are black people still watching and supporting this billion dollar industry if they don't respect us for who we are? Why can we not take ourselves off of this leash that is placed on us as a people?

Lets see, standing up for kaepernick vs getting a paycheck.... hmmmmm....
