I've been putting off making a full statement about an important issue for a while now. My mind's made up, though. See my next tweet.

I'm boycotting the
@NFL because of their bigotry & blacklisting of Colin Kaepernick. It's gone way too far.http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/king-boycotting-nfl-anti-blackness-article-1.3225720 …
What's happening to Colin Kaepernick right now in the @NFL has NEVER happened to another quarterback in the history of the league.

It's called being a workplace distraction. Kaep not only sucks but is on field distraction, a major one.

Can't the same be said for Tebow? I could be wrong but isn't he the only starting QB on a playoff team to never start again after that year?

Or maybe he's not good. Or maybe owners don't want DISTRACTIONS on their carefully chosen and managed teams. Sit down.

It's about denying a person of color an opportunity because he invoked a peaceful protest against injustice.

Did ever occur to you that he's just not good enough?? After teams figured out how to defend him, he couldn't raise his game!

70% of NFL players are African American. Of the top 30 paid players 15 are African American. Math doesn't lie. This is not about race.
-
Actually that math doesn't do your argument any favors. Why only 50% of top paid players black when they make up 70% of league?
-
Ok. Using your logic: Why do blacks make up only 13% of the population but make up 70% of the NFL? Idk. Could it be as simple as merit?
-
A problem, not limited to NFL, is that White folks make up disproportionate numbers in management/owners. Source from
