Legit question. What happens if every single black player just REFUSES to play at the superbowl?
Like, lets say you get opening kickoff, and it's a white guy kicker. So he kicks the ball. It lands at about the 15 yard line. And just NOBODY even attempts anything. They all just stand there, pointing at the endzones.
And it's both teams. I don't know exact numbers, but I'd guess every teams roster is 90%+ black.
And since it's both teams, you can't call one side a forfeit.
I think they should. Embarass the NFL on the biggest stage. The game is Feb 9th. This would be the lead story Feb 10th. They either repaint it back onto the endzones DURING the game, reschedule the game, or the whole game is 0-0, with a clock running down for 3 hours.
What would the NFL do?
Fire all black people and somehow fault them for the whole thing.
At least if the rest of the country does not show solidarity and doesn't organize a general strike - which is illegal by the way.
Fire every black person in the NFL??? Hooooooooboy.
2026 headline. "NFL viewership falls to 3. As in there are now 3 people still watching."
Point taken.
Just don't pay them, get them arrested and lease them back from the prisons. Slavery is legal in the US after all.
Every single ~~Black~~ player. They're a team, and I'm willing to believe they respect each other enough to stand still for each other.
They shouldn't be so political!
As the literal president who started the whole thing sits in the stands. Hopefully getting boo'd.
I'm glad to see you bought a copy of my book! Would you like me to sign it for you?
Here's the nazi!
This would be fucking awesome.
I'd love them to take a knee at the anthem. I hope someone or many do.
