Calling the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a “huge mistake”
Describing Martin Luther King Jr. as “awful” and “not a good person”
Stated “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to think, ‘I hope he’s qualified’”
Claimed successful Black women like Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson were “affirmative action picks” who “do not possess the cognitive capacity to be taken seriously”
The league only cares about black athletes to the degree that it can profit off their performance.
Case in point: Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem – which was honestly an extremely mild form of protest – and was immediately black-balled.
If they do care about black athletes, they clearly care about money a lot more.
The players are unionized, and the NFLPA has a lot of strong black voices in leadership if I recall (at least as of the last time I looked into it)… But yeah I doubt they’ll do anything unfortunately.
The last time I checked, and fuck me if I’m wrong, the NFL has several black athletes. What did kirk say about black people?
