The article mentioned hip hop culture and the author went on to describe it in the manner in which he perceives it.

"The NFL has immersed itself in the hip-hop culture. Yes, I know this automatically makes me a racist according to the Left, but I simply don’t like the hip-hop culture and the things it represents that have nothing to do with skin color. I don’t approve of a culture whose music refers to women as “b**ches” and “h*s”, glorifies drug usage and violence, and encourages an illicit lifestyle. Plus, I don’t like the clothing. Pull up your pants, you look like an idiot. When this type of “music” blares out over the sound system in the stadium, as it did when I attended my last NFL game, I’m gone."

Buses leave every day from the US to Canada. They got a nice little league up there called the Canadian Football League. They got Funky Uniforms
and you can still get your Gatorade there. And best of all you can go wave to the Canadian Flag. Choice is simple to me and the Fans love ex-NFL Players up there. After all the grass is always greener in Canada.

Well if their commissioner's last name isn't Goodell, that's a good place to start.

In essence, rap music, break dancing, graffiti, and the art of DJ'ing. At one point it was the reflection of the lives of Black, Brown, and disenfranchised White communities during the era of the Panthers and the introduction of the crack of epidemic and war on drugs. Hip Hop is a lot of things to a lot of different people. All in all, Hip-Hop is a microcosm of Black culture in America and it gives insight to the positives and negatives of our daily lives. The music itself is more along the lines of pop these days. The same thing that happened to rock is happening to Hip-Hop.

Goodel is doing exactly what he's being paid to do. Focus all the attention on himself. Magicians use "misdirection" all the time. "Pay no attention those owners behind the curtain pulling his strings"

I agree with papz, stop giving these players the attention for their protests and start bringing the active duty and veterans down on the field to stand right in front of them between camera and player. Let the camera focus on the guys and gals that sacrifice for their rights.

Don't give a flying f*ck what culture it is, if someone has given their life so that you live in a free society that allows you to be paid $$$$ to play a game - get off your arse and show some respect...

Otherwise, put your money where your mouth is, show you're really committed and forfeit a game check and don't play...
