    well sitting on the subs bench is not sport either but when one actually gets to participate then it becomes sport. driving a car or bike NEVER becomes a sport.

    Why would any white person pay $200 each to be called a racist when they can watch CNN doing so for free?

    Do you guys remember when the NFL denied the Cowboys permission to commemorate the cops that were murdered by BLM?

    Yes. The NFL should address the extreme disparity in racial makeup of the league. There is a clear diversity problem that needs to be corrected. I think some AA is needed to provide more opportunity for white guys.

    WTF are they complaining about??!! NBA is next. That needs a lot of fixing too. Not enough white guys.

    MAJOR systemic racism in those leagues. Right? How else do you explain the lack of white representation. It’s obviously racist and not a safe place.

    /derp

    Think every athlete should be really ****ing thankful they can get paid $millions to play a sport.

    I would have to say yes. Otherwise it would be called "catching"

    What are you talking about? The NBA is the most diverse sport in the world, maybe even the galaxy.

    Yip, that's where I'm at.

    They can do what they want, I wont see it, I might read about it and mock them occasionally but it wont change my activities because my activities no longer include football.

    Obviously you have never done it. Racing takes tremendous physical and mental strength and is a sport even if you don't consider it one.

    We can solve the absence of whites in professional sports by creating better white athletes?? The majority of owners and coaches who pick the players are white.

    That's been part of the problem.

    There has never been any racism in this country, has it?

    Yep how could we elect a black President and still have racism.

    It always has, this is nothing new.

    I disagree, there are two kinds. Those who want it to end and those who don't.

    Why?

    Do you honestly believe that the racism they're opposing is within football?

    I look forward to these NFL threads - and now the MLB too. A bunch of people seeing what they love becoming 'woke' and kvetching about it.

    No, in my personal narrow view, a sport requires your opponent to stop you from achieving your goal. So no track and field, no golf...

    Slogans do not end racism or virus outbreaks or cancer. An excercize in stupidity and futility.

    You understand WOKE means you’re a phony, right? There is no provable systemic racism using any measure. The ONLY method to find systemic racism is completely anecdotal. Statistics time and time again prove otherwise.

    Pretty much sums it up.

    white men don't have the same violent crime statistics as blacks

    the most honorable poster was merely stating white men pay good money to see a white quarter back......

    Are there more incidents of drugs and violence in football, or in hockey and baseball?

    Sure. Let’s pretend that we can magically create qualified people to fill more roles than are black people:) Why shouldn’t black people own 50% of the businesses in the country? That would be fair /derp!

    And for those complaining about NFL ownership, who’s stopping any black businessman from buying a team? No one. You want it? Buy it for what it’s worth? But I guess it’s racist to have to compete on an equal playing field in the business world too, hehe.
