        I'm surprised he didn't use a plantation analogy.

        Jail is the plantation replacement. Once slavery ended, they found another way to get free labor...jails -the new plantation.

        No surprise, but of all of the NFL owners McNair was the biggest donor to Trump.

        This is on the players to put these owners in there place. Make them realize tbey are nothing without players. Don't let this go.

        Or the wealthy blacks pool up and buy their own team, and sign up the R Wilson, T Gurley, OBJ, and so on. Can u imagine?

        Yes, I can imagine it. Forming a black league is not a bad idea. It would take time but anything is possible.

        How would forming an all black league help with any kind of progress? Wouldn’t that just make it worse?

        You can’t make the owners change. Can’t teach old dogs new tricks. But you can hope and work with people who may be future owners to start

        So an owner calls his players "the inmates" how profound. If I was on that team and a black player I would be kneeling.
