This Is The Sick New Protest NFL Players Have Planned For 'Racist' Thanksgiving Day
Games After They See Who's Showing Up.
Thanksgiving is fast approaching and in case you didn't have any family controversy to
keep you livid this holiday season, your friends over at the National Football League will,
of course, do something infuriating to disrupt your holiday.
This year, the already failing sports league is further damaging their reputation by retaliating
against one of their own teams.
Apparently, the current National Anthem protest that has dug the NFL into an almost unrecoverable
hole is being combined with a grievance that the social justice warriors were wining about
previously.
That being the name of Washington's team.
The Redskins were at the center of a controversy over their name and if it was disrespectful
to the Native American population in the United States.
The most recent objection is to the fact that the Redskins will be hosting a Thanksgiving
day game, which some consider to be some sort of sick joke.
If we assumed that the majority of Americans even cared about football anymore (which their
ratings would say that we don't) it seems like the anniversary of making friends with
the Native Americans would be a great thing to celebrate.
However, according to Fox News Insider, that's just not how it's being viewed by those
fellow Americans who can find offense at anything:
"A writer for The Nation magazine criticized the NFL for putting the Washington Redskins
game on primetime on Thanksgiving.
Dave Zirin wrote that the 'R*dskins' name is a 'slur, a name that exists mainly because
of genocide and displacement.'
'It's as if NFL owners, by having Washington host this game, are having their own private
joke,' Zirin wrote, adding 'a league that celebrates racial slurs can never be an engine
for social change.'
Washington fan Juan Williams, who said he also finds the name offensive to Native Americans,
asked the panel their thoughts on the story.
'Doesn't matter what you call them, they're going to lose anyway,' Philadelphia native
and Eagles fan Jesse Watters remarked."
Watters remark is probably the most accurate assessment that could be made.
Not only do many predict that they will lose the game, everyone in the NFL is losing on
a much grander scale lately.
The NFL has completely PC'ed itself out of an audience by alienating anyone who possesses
even a modicum of patriotism.
Maybe some of the former NFL fans would have been open to hearing about any problems actual
Native Americans had about the name "Redskins" if it had been the American Indians who were
making the complaints, but at this juncture, it's a moot point.
In fact, the same Fox interview pointed out that a recent study showed that about 90 percent
of Native Americans didn't find the name "Redskins" offensive at all.
However, what many do find offensive is what the teams have planned for the Thanksgiving
game.
Whether prompted by the Holiday shake-up, or as a flailing attempt to try an appease
the disgruntled ex-fans who are still boycotting all things NFL, the league is considering
keeping the teams inside their lockers for the National Anthem.
Daily Mail reports that this is not the response to the boycott that the President or the people
wanted, and President Trump let them know about it:
"Donald Trump ramped up his battle with the National Football League on Wednesday,
tweeting his frustrations about national-anthem protests before 6 o'clock in the morning
from the confines of his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort.
'The NFL is now thinking about a new idea – keeping teams in the Locker Room during
the National Anthem next season.
That's almost as bad as kneeling!' the president wrote.
'When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart?
This issue is killing your league!'
Trump was referring to a Washington Post report on Tuesday that outlined a possible new league
policy being privately debated by NFL team owners."
'When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart?' the president
wrote in a jab at Roger Goodell; 'This issue is killing your league!'
Various players and teams have stayed in their locker rooms before games this year, emerging
only after the National Anthem is played in order to avoid the decision of whether or
not to stand.
Most recently, Trump slammed Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch for continuing
to sit for The Star Spangled Banner, despite standing for the Mexican anthem before a game
on Sunday.
Lynch's latest protest took place on Sunday before the Raiders played the New England
Patriots at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City."
The NFL should never have found itself in this predicament in the first place.
Professional sports is where people go to try and avoid thinking about any heavy issues
of the day, but because of the disrespect of the players, those issues invaded a once
worry free refuge.
When it's ceased to be politics-free, it ceased to be popular.
