What's increasingly clear is that the @NFL was created by white people, for the entertainment of white audiences. When a demonstration of any kind irritates that audience, instead of entertaining them, the core mission is violated. Let me explain...https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/1000039075024441344 …

My Latest. It's time for Black owned sports teams and Black owned sports leagues. No demographic is more loyal to Trump, and to the oppressive status quo of the United States, than the white men who dominate sports ownership in America. https://theintercept.com/2018/05/25/nfl-owners-white-kaepernick-protest-rule/ …

  Here is the problem Sean you don’t speak for them because they want to play for the white owners and they want to make the money that the white owners pay to entertain people that’s what you don’t seem to get phony activism at its greatest is you

  What about the story of the white guy putting a black teacher in ICU but having his mommy watch him at home. No bail just go home and hang out! Does the NFL know why people are kneeling? This is crazy.

  Yes that is why all of the black people that are being oppressed by the white people in the NFL should quit why are they still trying out and putting all their eggs in the NFL basket from the time they’re born
