I'm ok with being fired for what I believe in.

Martellus Bennett (@MartysaurusRex) September 23, 2017

The idea of @realDonaldTrump thinking that suggesting firing me from football, confirms that he thinks that it's all I can do as a Black man

Let's take away the one thing that a black man can do. That'll set em straight. Naw bruh. We diverse. We aren't just field niggas anymore.

Trying to figure out how #TakeAKnee is un-American but letting people die because of lack of health insurance is patriotic
—
Luisa Haynes (@wokeluisa) September 23, 2017

It's telling that resentment towards wealth in sports is always directed at black athletes and not the vastly wealthier franchise owners.

Adam Serwer 🍝 (@AdamSerwer) September 23, 2017

****

That's because black athletes are seen as recipients of white benevolence, whereas rich white men by virtue of whiteness deserve their money
—
Adam Serwer 🍝 (@AdamSerwer) September 23, 2017

The truth is the reverse: it is the athletes' labor that makes the owners rich, not the other way around. Applies to many other things.

Don't allow racists to reframe #TakeAKnee as being a debate about anthem & flag. It's a protest of police brutality & racism... 🙄

...which is why no one has ever been up in arms about folks buying hot dogs & popcorn when anthem is playing...

...b/c the racist backlash against athletes protesting is not about patrotism but about maintaining racial caste...

"How dare these black athletes (of course your president uses a different term 😒) think they can get out of line & get uppity like that?"

Bree Newsome (@BreeNewsome) September 23, 2017

Racists including Trump will try to frame the issue as "disrespecting the flag" & not police brutality...
—
Bree Newsome (@BreeNewsome) September 23, 2017

...when in reality they are offended by the protest of police violence & racism, things Trump has openly advocated.
