This is absolutely embarrassing for the @RedSox.
As their manager and a dozen players of color decide to sit out the visit with Donald Trump, 100% of the white players go anyway - not seeing a problem with it.
Not surprising, but disturbing.https://www.apnews.com/c172ebf8bba54abd9dd2eb4c9d412180 …
You can literally count on one hand the number of white professional athletes that have protested alongside Black athletes, immigrant athletes, and other athletes of color over the past few years. Most just decided it's just not that big enough of a deal to them.
Because it doesn’t affect them or their families,..but when it does,..SUDDENLY it’s a problem..
Kinda like drug addiction that destroys families and takes lives. Now they want sympathy for opioid abuse.
Facts.
It doesnt bother them until it’s them. Same way the rich aren’t bothered by the same thing that a person who’s struggling is going through. So they won’t be enraged over discrimination, or any forms of racism.
I think it's worse than that. Some whites are indifferent to issues of race that 45 highlights. But a sizeable number are thrilled with his views and find common ground with the racism he expresses.
Sad but true either way it’s disgusting
this is why i will always remember that @mPinoe chose to take a knee in solidarity with Kaepernick. good white allies shouldn't be this hard to come by, and yet...
All except the Eagles. Nobody went because a majority of the White players included.. didn’t want to go.
Neither did the Golden State Warriors
True but they have majority black players so that was to be expected.
It’s absolutely pathetic & embarrassing
We need more Kyle Korvers
Yep. More Billie Jean Kings as well.
And just think how much more momentum the Black Lives matter movement would be if some white athletes would offer support
If Tom Brady took a knee, half of New England would be fine with kneeling.
Remember, way back, when the Australian runner protested with John Carlos and Tommie Smith at the Olympics? Not many ever take a stand like that.
His name is Peter Norman. He caught hell for it in Australia and has only recently, posthumously, been acknowledged as a hero there.pic.twitter.com/eE69gOscAK
