Why Black (and white) America Should Boycott the NFL and NBA
F the NFL and the NBA. They should be shut down until the rights of all races in this country are respected.
LISTEN HERE -
Many Black families have husbands, sons, nephews, or cousins that play professional sports and benefit from their earnings. But under the current political and cultural landscape, compromising dignity for money will weaken the strategic position of the Black struggle against white supremacy.
The athletes should sell what they have and give to the poor to save their own souls. They should take their college educations and use the knowledge to rebuild their communities and start their own damn leagues instead of smiling in the cameras for white supremacist. This country is not going back to what it use to be. This is now a war for the soul of Black America.
As the government positions military troops and National Guardsmen in majority Black cities, and as this administration targets Black history with erasure and whitewashing, along with them placing bullseyes on the backs of young Black men minding their business, Blacks need to shut down this exploitive game of athletic monopoly.
We should not entertain the very people who voted for the destruction of Black America or America as a whole. This is not just a culture war or about these sports leagues commercialized advertising or who said something offensive on social media, this is about being complacent in a country that is clearly violating and stripping the rights of their own citizens, Blacks being a particular target.
Consumers should not purchase tickets to the games, neither the NFL or the NBA. They should not buy merch of their favorite team. Desperate times calls for desperate measures and the country is currently in a fight for their liberties. This is not a time for entertainment but a time to fight back against tyranny and suppression.
Both Blacks and whites must join this resistance to bring down an industry that many times have been in cahoots with the destructive policies of this administration and its wealthy backers. Shut down the market, the trades, the stadiums, turn off the lights, the media advertising profits and the sports betting industry. Many markets can suffer and collapse under the refusal to participate in such a show of blatant exploitation of young men and women.
The athletes should not compromise their integrity and self-respect by selling their souls to multibillionaires who play the game of plantation trading for their own wealth and greed while at the same time supporting the segregation of society under the rule of white supremacy. F the NFL and the NBA. They should be shut down until the rights of all races in this country are respected.
