Texans Players Walk Out of Practice After Team Owner Calls Them ‘Inmates’

How about not using analogies and figures of speech. How about just speak directly!

Ha,ha,ha!!

Having Trump is in the White House is making these crackers as bold af.

What the owners don’t realize is that they screening themselves. I am lost for words. Thanks for the post

common saying nothing more nothing less

I thought this saying was common. I've said and heard this said a thousand times. I guess cause of the perception of NFL owners being slave maters that makes it look worse. Players gonna have to sh*t or get off the pot. If they going all in then that's what it is but they can't keep pump faking.

That's what they do: boldly say what they really mean. Then, back-paddle when caught. Seen it too many times. -we know their game by now.

Figure of speech; but

When children run the house
..NFL players we are not children

When children run the classroom
....NFL players we are not students

When inmates run the asylum / prison
...NFL players we are not crazy / prisoners

i don't know what context he meant it and frankly I don't give a shit. The one thing that I value is organizational rules and standards which are negotiated through a bargaining agreement. I love legal contracts. Obey your contract or you are out. It doesn't mean you can't present grievances, but if a contract is broken, there will be consequences. It's how businesses survive so employers and employees benefit. The fact that the NFL has royally offed up is now evident. I won't watch another game until the league straightens itself out. I've got time, they don't.

That part.

"From the cotton field to the football field"

This is not surprising. A lot of CAC feel this way, especially filthy rich ones.

Why are they surprised? And I have a homie who used to mess with Dre, he has a thing for beastiality babes.

i cannot wait for all these players to just quit the NFL so black people can finally get our piece of the pie. the NFL is the source of all black people's problem and the reason cops are shooting blacks

The owner is a fucking idiot!!!

that's such a basic mind frame. but the mindset of most of the masses of "the masters/massa's". see what I did there?

Do you have any idea what it takes to get to their level?? More than most are willing to give.. its a reason their professionals!

"Walking out," They should walk ON his a$$!!!

I can understand the players' outrage, but the teams are already cutting players who Kneel during the anthem. These players better pray that they have a job next season.

The Wapo is writing that they "considered" walking out.

Texans reportedly considered leaving practice

Football and basketball has been very good to black players. They're billionaires because of their talent. If not in the US, they would be overseas in EU or Russia, maybe China. They can still make money but not the kind of money the US gives them. I don't feel sorry for any baller.
You don't see baseball players doing that stupid shYT, kneeling and complaining about police brutality. You don't see soccer player kneeling and complaining.
The ballers should kneel for ONE game and then go and play. But every single game is ridiculous....and I don't watch football or basketball.

that seems to be the articulation that the nfl is holding blacks back and/or is a racist organization

Ha!

typical America job situation. white people in charge of black people. they call the shoots and you decide when to call them on their racist bs.
the thing with professional sports currently is why should whites hold the monopoly on sports ownership?
it's beyond time to start questioning lots of economic situations. "We" have to be more than satisfied with the old school mind frame of being content with having a "good job".

Caucasian Ass Crackers=CAC? Just asking...

That belongs on a T-shirt...

Do u know if they cut any NFL players because I recently read that 3 college football players have been cut for kneeling.

Yes, but I can't remember who it was. The team said it wasn't because he was kneeling, but it was alluded to that is the reason. Could be the team was sending a message. I'll try to find the story.
Okay here it is: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/cowboys-cut-damontre-moore-raised-fist-anthem-article-1.3588976

Prison = Big House.

Cracker ass crackers...in my Chris Rock voice.

Is this Sandra.....their kneeling cause race like countless issues never got resolved

If y'all don't get y'alls asses back on that field. Just think, they call you much worse behind your backs when cutting those checks. Sure, whitey could've easily said 'can't let the employees run the company,' but no. He let you know, from the pits of hell, how he really feels and views you.

Why are people so surprised when finding out how a person feels about you? Schit, be glad to know what you're dealing with. He's going to apologize and you will return to work. Contracts remember?

“I regret that I used that expression. I never meant to offend anyone and I was not referring to our players,”.

No, he only regrets getting caught. He's a bigoted pos.

A "professional" who is easily replaced. There is always a younger, faster and stronger player.

Yup and so was I. My parents generation are retiring or have retired from their city jobs. I went away to college and experienced a lot more than my mom who I really talk to about the racial situations I've experienced and how I'm disappointed that as a child I was spoon fed that we shall over come complacent docile mindset.

Well when all you come up with is comparing men to prisoners I’d say he should stop being indirect (as he claims) LOL.

HE SAID he used a “figure of speech” LOL not me.

Why my people scared to clap back at these mfckrs, i dont get it, silence aint gonna do, they like actions so give it to them....they should have came to practice with white dog hair wigs, put some dead " fake" flies, knats, crabs.in their wigs , walk in the locker room on all on legs and hands, smelling like shit...that would do it...

Never surprised, I just don't understand black folks and this passive ass chyt. Stand up black man. I'm so tired of hearing money, money, money. When will stand up for ourselves, chyt disgusting

Lol. Now you know that went WAY over the heads of the majority of SR readers.

Have people been so bold as to say publicly what they used to only say privately?

Well damn.

Right! I’d be Kaepernicked!!

At schools, we say “patients running the asylum”. If I say it to press, I am reprimanded and possibly fired. You must use decorum.

Nahhh! It was implied but not this “in your face.” They are running round now thinking that anything goes because they will be protected. And they are 100% correct.

These players aren’t going anywhere, they’re use to the lifestyle that they live. Besides what are they going to do if don’t play football?

And Before Rosa Parks, A Teenager Defied Segregation On An Alabama Bus Claudette Colvin was a 15-year-old student from Montgomery, Ala., when she refused to yield her bus seat to a white passenger. But she has been largely forgotten in civil rights history.

They haven't in the NFL. The Moore dude from the Cowboys got cut bc he was sorry, he got cut from the Giants also. No one cared about that dude raising a fist enough to cut him if he was good. The alluding to him being cut bc he raised a fist is just media fabrication.

I think she was forgotten because she was an unwed mother, if this is the person I'm thinking of.

Damnit!

My Black people: Integration screwed us. Before integration, we build Black Wall Street (the dollar circulated 26 times in that community); Madame C.J. Walker was the first Black female millionaire. There are other stories as well. We were killing the financial game, but when we started mixing with YT, that all went away. We lost our collective vision. Now we go along to get along as long as we get paid to do it. We have too much money to knot have anything (franchises) of any sort. Instead we are bowing and scraping and scratching our heads. Those players have so much power.

At the time, yes it did have something to do with her being forgotten. Her name was Claudette Colvin and they claimed she got pregnant by a married man. It's true about people like being publicized instead of a usual people.

I doubt they will be unemployed. However, your comment above was spot on. They need to invest their money (ever wealthy Black person), build an infrastructure and they won't have to depend on YT to control them. Black people just don't have the collective visions other groups have.

Maybe he was referring to the ball boys and conditioning coaches.

Nope. That old POS knew exactly what he was saying.

Wow you're so ill-informed that you sound simple.

Weeks ago the players' union submitted a ten page social justice proposal to the owners.

That's why McNair was so snappy.

SAY ITTTTTT!!!!!!

On the contrary! It would NOT be offensive if the students WERE actually patients. That would be a matter of fact and not an analogy. If they were all inmates, there would be no argument or contraversy to be had. When I call students weed heads, the weed heads are not offended.

Yes. It. Was! The elders know what they are talking about. The worst thing that happened to us. Many of us have lost our way and have become slaves again to money, fame, and fortune. Instead of investing our money collectively, many of us are making everyone else rich. It's a damn shame.

?? ????
Deal!!!

Yup I used to hear it day in and day out at work, school, grocery store, nail salon, everywhere. Where have ya'll been?

If they really bout it, those folks will sacrifice a game check and stay at home on game day.
_______________________
You right.
And once they make their sacrifice, WE should follow suit.

????????This!! I agree. Once blacks integrated we lost quite a bit of our buying power. Instead of our dollars going into our own communities, schools, and businesses, we give it away to the masses. I sometimes wonder if we would have been further along collectively, had we not tried so hard to assimilate. ?

Really? Walked out? Lol respect the flag douche bags

Eat a dick you inbred billygoat troll.

Master P class? I might need to take it lol...

I read and comprehended everything you wrote. That word just kind of did it for me though.
Goodnight Love.

Oh how he has hurt the city & the team as long as he is the owner. Everytime someone makes a comment then has to try and make amends it's useless because your really just trying to do damage control. Own your $h!t!! acting like it was not what he meant. I would "respect" him more if he just owned what he said. One thing I think our people don't like is when you try to weasel out of what you said and expect us to act like it's just a big misunderstanding. It's not like it's a big shock that this type of mentality exist. The owners just want to win and they expect coaches to bring them "good stock". The saddest part majority of the players going home to white gf's/wives. The only color these chics see is green.

Not happening they too busy giving the money back to their non-black wives and girlfriends

Welp

they have fired one guy already .now i wonder how his family feels

these owners are stupid. I cant believe it. how do you own a multi billion dollar company. small team owners should just shut up. say "the members want to bring awareness which they have, we will work with the community, we ask that the players stand." instead trying to be tough and smart has made him look mocking of the players. its not about race. he basically called all the players grubs. inmates. that wasn't just for the kneelers. that was for all of them. he called them dumb jocks, basically. even the racist players have to take offense.

Fire them all and let's see the teams play with second, third, and forth tier players play. Guess who will will lose? The owners will call them slaves until they start losing money and losing games.

You're a dumb a$$ mofo. You have no idea what striking does, do you?

Our society is turning into a bunch of sensitive pussies!! Everyone gets offended by petty stupid stuff..

My cousin used to live on Brocket Rd so I used to hang out over there quite a bit. It's a little jarring at first but you're absolutely right

A proposal.....meaning the owners do not have to accept. If the proposal is not for the benefit of the injustices that are posed on non-NFL players it is irrelevant. The NFL alone cannot improvre injustices with the communities. They can maybe make it better. Until we come together as a whole and learn how to play the game the proposal is just words on a piece of paper. We need to protest and demand for removal of these reality shows but instead they are on the air because of the viewers that are entertained by this foolishness. We need to start in our own community and demand better for ourselves and stop expecting a bunch of billionaires that throws these players a crumb here and there to help with social injustices.

yes i told my nephews and nieces be lawyers or work in finance...photography is hobby of mine i had a chance to talk to some of the very successful guys they told me don't go to school for photography go to school for money first

You can do that if you want. I have no idea why people like always sit on the sidelines and do nothing but criticize.

Maybe you should google the proposals.

yeh the muslim religion bring in all kinds of people funny that the christian churches seem to be more race based..but yes i attend school in clarkston learned about other cultures

Yes we did! We would've been much further ahead!

What gets me too is that they say that we need to stand on our own two feet, but when we did, they set about to tear everything we accomplished down. It's mind-boggling. There are so many dollars flowing elsewhere that if we had a collective vision, we could do the same thing today, but many of us don't have the vision. That's why we don't have anything. SMH.

Key words: home country, culture, customs, language.
We have NONE of that
They took and hid it all. All we have is what we've been taught by those who hate us. We look to them for the definition of family, success and spirituality. But theirs is a doctrine of devils. A way of life contrary to what The Creator purposed, therefore a way of life that leads to fruitlessness and destruction.
THERE IS MORE TO US THAN MEETS THE EYE.
Chile, I could go on and on.
Have a safe weekend!!

THIS

Did you put any thought into this comment ? #ApparentlyNot

What guy would that be ? Are you making up stories now..?

dude from cowboys

The NBA had to fight for those rights... Remember the NBA Lockout 10 yrs ago? lol... The NFL won't levy any power unless they make sacrifices

He spoke his true feelings and then threw a weak apology behind it. This seems to be the way things are now because the players and others will accept it and continue on. People constantly keep saying that players make millions and shouldn't complain, but bring that down to your level at your job and it's the same thing. Don't knock them for making money. Racism is as high as the presidential office, so.........They mistreat, belittle, kill us because they can and will until we do something about it. United we stand and individually we will keep falling.

Idiot for speaking out to so that public can hear his real thoughts & conversations around certain people behind closed doors? Or would you rather go on in life not knowing how they really think about Black athletes??

I want to help in this protest but I’m not a athlete I can’t kneel where do regular ppl fit in in this protest I’ll sign petitions call government officials but can’t kneel I don’t hear the National Anthem in my life ever

thank u!

That's not really integration fault tho. That's white supremacy conditioning us to believe that white is better.

The reality was the whites had more resources and thus could provide goods and services that were not available in the black community at the time. Using these goods and services had an allurre of exclusively. We see this to this day where white is right and black is a safe fallback. Look at the rampant materialism of European goods that is promoted to our community via our music. Ive had this discussion with elders many times. It's really sad the number they did on us mentally.

I hear you, but we created our own resources and that's why the dollar circulated 26 times in that community. Yes. The damage has been done and it's sad. I don't know if we'll ever recover.

Unfortunately I have heard this phrase used a few times before...It is true tho. You cannot have the subordinates running over the authoritarians.

Yeah, but you and I both know none of those players are going to stand up and leave that job. I'll tell anybody who's on the fence about their job not to come talk to me cuz I'll convince to leave that MF. You've been warned.

Most folks are cowards and will tuck their tail. You'd have to know me to know that I'd leave...friends will tell you, yep he would. When I said get back on that field, it's for that reason there; not one of these players will quit and leave "money on the table." The owner will apologize, throw them a party with favors, and all is forgiven. Lets FF and just get back on the field.

Yes indeed! All of that!!!

Are you speaking of the man that has a net worth over 3 billion?

How are they running over authority?

Omg. On the low I've felt the same way for years! F*ck trying to convince these demons on how to act human. Not all, but it's just senseless at this point to continue to force an issue that has not and will not ever change. Only if, and this should of been the whole point of the I have A Dream Speech, black people uniting and building together. Smh, if that ever happened, and we built up our wealth, the sky would be the limit. It's just really hard to unite us even as next door neighbors. A lot of work needs to be done.

Yup....also watch all of the Hidden Color series.
