Colin Kaepernick said that playing in the NFL is like being a slave.

If the slaves had been paid like NFL players, they would've fought for the South and kicked the North's ass.

Weird
Could have thought there were white guys in the NFL
Are NHL players slaves too?
Lets see this clown do that video
Couldn't make it seem like black people are victims with that though

pavyracer · 10-31-21, 10:13 AM

Of course they are slaves. Especially the kickers. They have one job. Kick a ball. If Kunta Kinte was asked to kick a ball for cash or work in the cotton fields all day for free..what would you think he would have chosen to do?

BeatTheJerk · 10-31-21, 11:19 AM

Without slavery there would be a hell of lot less millionaire black athletes today, just my opinion.

JIBBBY · 10-31-21, 11:32 AM

If he never played in the NFL he'd be broke today and working as a checker boxing groceries and high on drugs. NFL gave him a platform and name, made him millions.

He blew it and sucked and was cut. LOSER!! Not even for kneeling. He just regressed and sucked as a QB in the end and was benched and cut.

Now he just hates.

packerd_00 · 10-31-21, 11:41 AM

How much is this clown making off this horseshit? More than he ever made playing Football I bet.

Runeblade · 10-31-21, 11:54 AM

What a fukin loser this guy is.

Bluehorseshoe · 10-31-21, 12:04 PM

The guy never had a real job in his life.

Demonata · 10-31-21, 12:09 PM

He's a bum.

MUHerd37 · 10-31-21, 01:22 PM

Netflix trying to shove that shit down your throat already. Went on there last night for the first time in a month and they kept trying to get me to watch it. Ended up watching Untold Malic at the Palace. Pretty good except for Stephen Jackson.

JIBBBY · 10-31-21, 04:52 PM

This guy needs to go away already. I can't believe he's still even relevant. I guess his NIKE commercial signing a while back kept him in the social loop still. He has to be running out of money to keep making these foolish racial statements still.

This guy is a cancer on society and on social media.

Mr KLC · 10-31-21, 05:09 PM

The scary thing is not as much about him making the statement, but how many people will actually believe it.

Bluehorseshoe · 11-02-21, 09:02 AM

The funniest part about this is.......He works for Nike and Nike pretty much makes their money off of slave labor in China. LOL

It's hilarious how all these companies stand against discrimination, racism, all this inequality, and then you see their sweat shops overseas. They say "well that's how you get cheap shoes." No. That's how you make billions of dollars a year.

magpie878 · 11-02-21, 02:38 PM

I guess he's very happy being free from that oppression.

Where do you get this? Have you seen slave labor in China connected to Nike? I'm asking because I have a lot of Nike stock???

Maybe you mean cheap labor? Like in the Philippines, I can hire 30 of them for 1 American. And their pay is in the top 10% of the country. It's cheap labor (compared to US workers) but no way slave labor.

No I don't. Here's an excerpt from THE WASHINGTON POST:

Based on our information, The Post’s Anna Fifield visited a shoe factory in Qingdao producing sneakers for Nike and found that it resembled a prison, with barbed wire, watchtowers, surveillance cameras and a dedicated police station. Uighur workers at the factory, she was told, did not come on their own accord, nor could they return home for the holidays.

Even amid the covid-19 outbreak, Uighurs are still being transported to central Hunan province, an area that has been heavily affected by the virus.

Feel good about your stock??

This has been well known for some time. It's a joke. The conditions they make them work in are horrendous. I think there was even one journalist who was gonna release some kind of story or documentary or something back in the day -- and something happened. I don't remember. NIKE is basically the American mafia.

Damn, didnt know slaves trained their whole lives just for the chance of picking cotton and earning $100,000,000's....

In this case, Im willing to slave for anyone

Nike has long said that they do not source shoes from that region. Neither does 80+ other companies like MS, Apple, Adidas, Samsung, etc., who all came out and said that they do not directly or indirectly use labor or purchase goods from that area. The Washington Post have been on a witch hunt with US companies but have zero actual proof.

Here's a Nike Statement

Resources — Nike - Human Rights and Labor Compliance Standards — NIKE, Inc.

https://purpose.nike.com/statement-on-xinjiang

At Nike, we strongly believe and are committed to respecting human rights. It is not only the right thing to do, it also drives our success by allowing people’s full potential to be realized. We look to the human rights defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Rights at Work. We also consider the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises as best practice for understanding and managing human rights risks and impacts.

How do I feel about my stock? Fantastic. Nike is up over 50% in the last year. Look for it to go up another 15 - 20% through the holidays.

Just the facts Goat. Please show me some actual facts of slave labor working in Nike sweat shops? Do you think Nike would spend millions of dollars to make a shitty factory? They have like 100+ factories in China. They are by no means sweat shops. They are cutting edge technology. Nike is in a lot of countries. Most companies look to Nike on where to open manufacturing next. China is not the preferred location it once was btw.

Keep making money off of exploited workers. You're a terrible person.
