If Jim Irsay was black he wouldn’t have been the owner of an NFL team and he would probably be in jail right now.
But, because he’s white, comes from generational wealth that is damn near impossible for any black person to have considering we were slaves not too long ago and has white privilege his lifestyle is just brushed aside.
The anthem is done before the game, no one is playing at that time, it literally has no outcome on the final score, but the oppressor loves to tell the oppress how they should do things.
“I think it’s the wrong venue,” Irsay said. “It hasn’t been a positive thing. What we all have to be aware of as players, owners, PR people, equipment managers, is when the lights go on we are entertainment. We are being paid to put on a show. There are other places to express yourself.”
If the players aren’t doing anything illegal or violent, it isn’t anyone’s place to tell them how they should express themselves.
It is wrong and it’s a slave mentality that needs to stop immediately.
