That’s y numerous artists refused to perform at halftime & the NFL instead found Latina performers in an effort to make it look diverse and divert attention from the NFL’s issues w/ race, incl the NFL being a white owned league w/ majority Black players but very few Black coaches

The NFL is the modern day gladiator sport, a state-sponsored event relying heavily on recruiting men from the underclass to serve as distracting entertainment for the masses. Instead of fighting to the death like in Rome, they play to the point of severe physical & mental injury.

The games then serve as a platform for state propaganda and reinforcing the violence of the empire, as you’ll see tonight w/ Trump. This was the same function of the gladiator games in Rome. When it’s all over, the white capitalist owners will collect the trophy & most of the $$$

The professional industry depends on there existing a pipeline of young Black boys who from an early age are raised w/ aspirations of being NFL players. Most never will, but their labor feeds the billion $ industry from little league thru college where they play for free.

Some players will become millionaires in the process, most won’t. The primary beneficiaries will always be the billionaire white owners who profit from Black men injuring themselves and who can swap one player out for another as needed, incl banning a player who protests racism.

Thank you for this entire thread. There are so many people hurt by collateral damage from the NFL. Players’ families. Underpaid service workers. And NFL cheerleaders, who earn less than minimum wage, told they’re lucky just to have the job, and sexually harassed and assaulted.

Not to mention massive sex trafficking, through the event, has been YUGE up 'til now.

Girl, 72% of the players in the field are black when do they receive some of that ire. Oh i forgot they’re just multi-million dollar pawns. These men are rich. Keep that energy for the downtrodden.

And yet even though we know this... we watch. We are conditioned much as we wish we weren’t. Bread and circuses.

Nah, I gave up watching. I'm going for a run.
