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."

What is hip-hop culture?

rezburna

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.

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.

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"

In every other industry, employees are a representation of their employer and if you do something disrespectful while representing the employer you are subject to repercussions. We're all supposed to pretend like the rule doesn't apply in this scenario because it wouldn't be PC to do so. The media has created a climate where supporting the President or being overly-patriotic is toxic.

The owners are in a tough spot because they will be strung-up by the media if they dare to take a stance against these players. The fans now have a chance to voice their disapproval by not supporting the league. In the end, everyone will suffer.

But IMO, this is exactly what these players are trying to accomplish through their protest.

These players feel that their people being wronged and disrespected, so they feel they are just returning the favor. They will in turn piss off veterans, which will in turn piss off white people, who will then turn on the league, whose owners will be hit in the pocketbook.

In this way they achieve their goal of making everyone marginalized.

Don't be fooled into thinking it has any other goal. Their point was made long ago, it's not even about that anymore.

It's payback.
