Politics,Sport and Kapernik

[Tommy Tainant]

Just watching Baltimore v Jacksonville @ Wembley. Packed out.Not a seat to be had. Perhaps the NFL doesnt need the US ?

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Fuck these players, I watch sports to get away from politics.
Now they are using sports as a tool to bring their political views into sports.

But Tommy Smiths actions did more for civil rights than most. Surely that was worth it ?

Nope Sports are Sports and politics are politics and should remain separate

So Ali should have kept quiet ? We should have continued to play against South Africa and the US should have gone to Moscow ?

 

[jknowgood]

Sport and politics have always been interlinked. Sport does not exist in a vacuum and it is an ideal platform for getting your message across.

Here is Jesse Owens defeating the master race. Owens disproved and humiliated Hitlers sick beliefs. Apparently he became friends with the seig heiler on his left.

In 1976 the Olympics were blighted by an African ban over the participation of sanction busting New Zealand.

In 1980 the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics in retaliation to Russias invasion of Afghanistan.

In 2000 Zimbabwe were banned from international cricket for human rights abuses.

And then we have principled men willing to stand up for their beliefs.the white guy is an Aussie,Peter Norman. He became a great friend of Smith and Carlos and actually advised them on their protest. They were bearers at his funeral years later.

Here is Robbie Fowler of Liverpool.He has just scored for them and used the moment to show support for the striking Liverpool dockers. His goal is long forgotten but his action will not be.

Of course Liverpool are possibly the most politicised club in the UK having endured decades of struggle to get justice for their 96 dead supporters .

The question is can you have normal sport in an unjust society. In the 70s the South African team was ostracised from world cricket because of the evil apartheid regime.

Football teams refused to play in the national stadium of Chile. A stadium where Pinochets goons killed people who believed in democracy.

In 2013 Kevin Prince Boateng walked off the field of play after being abused by racist supporters. The rest of his team followed him.
Was Kevin-Prince Boateng Right to Leave the Field After Racist Abuse?

It didnt make a difference. In 2017 Sully Muntari did a similar thing. His team mates did not leave the field and he was criticised by his manager for his actions.
Pescara’s Sulley Muntari walks off after being booked for reporting racist abuse

Why do individuals feel the need to make a stand ? Generally because the governing body is not dealing with the issues.

Contrast the £10k fine meted out to Athletico Madrid for their fans racist chanting:
Atletico Madrid fined 10,000 euros after fans racially abused Manchester City players

And the £110k fine Malmo received for having a sub standard pitch.
UEFA fines Malmo $110,000 for “poor pitch” in Champions League, but racism still only worth $11,000

Of course governing bodies have a proud history of getting it wrong. Here is a pic of the English national team saluting Hitler in a game against the Germans in 1936. The players didnt want to do it but were ordered to by the FA ,and by extension, the government. England are on the left.

Of course its not just the players that make waves. Here are Celtic fans showing their support for Palestine.

Hong Kong fans get a chance to give the Chinese some truth.

And here are Dortmund fans sending out a message.

And fans of Werder Bremen doing likewise.

Mr Kapernicks protest , when seen in this light, is not unique. Becoming an athlete does not mean that you stop being a human being. He obviously feels strongly about this issue and deserves some respect for highlighting it.

Of course he could have taken an easier route.Kept his head down,picked up the cheque and said nothing.

Which is the American way ? Standing up for what you believe in or looking the other way like a coward ?

I'm glad kapernick is your hero, explains your Looney mind.

If we deride Black Lives Matter because the number of blacks killed by white police is very small, shouldn't we apply the same logic to the very few players protesting in the NFL? And Kaepernick has been out of the league for all this season. Why the outrage over like ten players?

Of course no doubt there will be plenty more today. Irony is that if the President had simply ignored the protests they would stay small. But he doesn't really want them to stay small. He wants another issue to screech-tweet about.

Yes to all sports arenas are not the UN

 

[jknowgood]

Kaepernick has not protested all season

Why is he still blamed?

No, shit. He doesn't have a job, thank God!

Well ... Looking on the bright side ... He should have plenty of time on his hands to do so ...
Let's see what he does with his time and his money.

.

 

[Mac1958]

As usual, the hyperbole around the Kaepernick story is being blown dramatically out of proportion because it's political red meat.

He's an average-at-best quarterback who would bring a massive distraction with him if he were to sign. The nature of the distraction is less important than the amount.

The NFL is a very competitive league, and any player who would bring this amount of distraction with his skills has to be evaluated on his NET value to the team.

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled politics.

Obama set race relations back 50 years. So a half black man, protesting another half black man's policies is what we have. In which neither one has suffered in their life. Making a fool of themselves doing it. Liberal logic at it's best. In this great nation, you suffer because you choose to, or you rely on democrats to take care of you.

 

[jknowgood]

how many players were let go after beating their wives & girlfriends? what about mike vick? i would think the backlash from that ruined them all.... right?

It doesn't matter what the employee does ... If it empties the seats ... You cannot afford to keep them.
It is perfectly okay to express your opinions and desires as a player or owner ... The customer still pays the bills.

.

If the product is good then people will turn out. Fans can rationalise pretty much everything given time.

No, I watch football to watch football. Not some jackass that has never suffered in his life, disrespect our great men and women defending our country. Tell me do you support the football coach having his third grade team sit down during the anthem at a football game? He is ruining their minds at such a young age. Instead of teaching unity he is teaching hate.

If Kapernik was protesting against Nazi Germany, as a german, that would be very different.


Instead he is showing disrespect for the greatest nation on Earth, and one that has been bending over backwards to benefit his people for generations.

And his politics need to be treated like the scum it is.

He's out of the league. Nobody will touch him not even the CFL. What do you want to do to him, have him killed? Until the President tweeted this weekend there were about ten players protesting.

Why is he still blamed?

Do an experiment.

Next time you meet someone, make sure to call him a vile asshole over and over again, for say, 6 months.

And see if once you stop, that he starts liking you.


Get back to me, and let me know how that works out for you.
