      In an anonymous poll of NFL players, 100% of the white players said they support Donald Trump. 92% of Black players opposed him. Race has EVERYTHING to do with what is happening in the NFL right now. Everything.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/ …

          imo, If you're interested in creating a positive dialogue about the subject it would be beneficial to include that the poll was from October 2016 if you're going to blindly cite it as fact in May of 2018.

          Polling 21 white guys in a league with over 1,600 players and using it as a blanket statement, to me, just seems like lazy extrapolation.

          @ShaunKing, this "poll" was made up of a grand total of 43 respondents. That's less than a single team's active roster. You can't extrapolate that out to the entire NFL.

          Come on Shaun, you gotta know anything that says 100% is wrong. Spend 3 seconds on @JOEL9ONE twitter feed and I think its clear there’s at least one white guy in the @nfl thats not a @realDonaldTrump supporter.

          That’s a poll of 42 people from two years ago. Preeeeetty misleading to make claims like yours based on that data. And for the record, I agree with the point you’re trying to make.

          Again...just doing the same thing trump supporters do. Generalizing. Find some nuance. Ask a while player what he thinks. Ask a Latino player. You appear to want to find facts to justify your opinion. You're better.

          That’s a straw poll and hardly accurate. Not to mention it’s dated. I’m not arguing against you. I’m fully in support of the players being able to protest.

          Seriously, how can you use this as evidence of a scientific research? You should know better, and I am definitely in support of players’ right to protest. I’m just not a fan of dissemination of amateurism. It defeats the purpose.

          This poll is old and I am sure some players have changed their mind. Except Incognito, he might have lost it.
