    We need to do to the NFL what the right has been doing to them for years. We need to boycott and call them out all the time on all our media platforms. We need to very loudly not watch the Super Bowl or any more of their bullshit. Really wish players would do something.

    Clearly it works so we should do the same thing.

    We wouldn’t want to offend the Führer when he attends the game, would we?

    I’m waiting for the moderate conservatives to get offended that the NFL thinks they’re SO FUCKING RACIST that “end racism” is considered controversial.

    Weird take from the NFL.

    What’s the ratio of owners and coaches, white vs. black?

    32 NFL teams, 23 white coaches.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2024/11/13/nfl-coaches-project-diversity-report-2024/75799491007/

    Owners?

    https://spotcovery.com/nfl-black-owners-the-leagues-ownership/

    “The NFL is still waiting for its first black majority owner.”

    "Forbes reports that there are only 15 black billionaires in the world. These include rapper Jay-Z, pop star Rihanna, Tiger Woods and LeBron James. However, their net worth isn’t enough to buy out a majority stake in an NFL team.

    For example, the Denver Broncos team was sold for $4.65 billion, a figure higher than their net worth. Plus, to buy an NFL team, you have to buy 30% of the stake, which means that buying the Broncos costs $2 billion in liquid cash. This is a figure that’s beyond what most wealthy black people in the United States can meet, hence keeping them out of ownership."

    Well the Lions aren’t in it so I don’t give a fuck about the NFL again. Just supporting my city, whose entire downfall was because of racism. Glad that’s solved /s
