My cousin told me about it. He say he aint gonna get involved right now but he might if they really go ahead and do it. The dicrimination is definitly gettin out of hand. All the owner's and league executives are white dudes. Can you imagine being a young black man and trying to explain yoself to an 87 year old white man? How that man gonna know where you coming from?

I should not have said alot, I should have said some. There is a group of black players talkin bout striking. They approched my cousin. He is not going to join them unless a bunch of other players do. If it was up to me, I would join them.

Veggie, you keep coming up with new ways to make me laugh.
I think that you sit around all day and think of ways to sound ridiculous and create a stir. Either you're the dumbest and most ignorant person alive, or you're the most diabolically brillant person in the world.
As for your cousin Joseph Addai, I doubt he would go on strike because a bunch of nobody's in the NFL asked him.
Bravo again.

Tell your cousin that he doesn't HAVE to play in the NFL. Why should any owner worry about where the player is coming from. I'm sure my supervisors lose sleep every night trying to figure out where I am coming from. Or maybe they pay me to do my job well and it doesn't really matter where I am coming from.
PS: The strike comment is by far the most stupid thing that you have ever spouted on this site. And that is really saying something. Keep up the good work, this stuff is GREAT!

For a league that you believe discriminates against blacks, they're doing a pretty lousy job considering how many black employees they have in the fold. And as for explaining yourself, I'm a white man who has no trouble understanding an explanation from a black man. It's not that difficult.
As for your claims about a strike, they're beyond ridiculous. I'm sure all those players are going to give up their millions to go on a strike in which they'd have absolutely no union support. Good luck with that.
In short, I think you're just pulling this stuff out of nowhere.

Only the black ones? They got a separate union now for black players?
Sounds like racism to me. Think they are all just trying to keep the white man from making his money. Always trying to bring the white man down.
Get over yourself, princess. If your supposed "cousin" that plays in the NFL feels that strongly that he's being treated unfairly, he can quit. Then he can go out and see what it's like in the real world, where people don't throw millions of dollars his way. I can understand why you don't mention his name. If I was related to someone like you who spouts more crap then a diarrhea ward on bean soup night, I wouldn't want anyone to know either.

How many punters or kickers in the NFL are black? Only a few.
20 of the Eagles are white. Thats almost half. Thats like 40%.
And I agree with Score 1.

Whether you like it or not veggie, the white guy owns the team and has all the money at stake and pays the salaries. Without the old white guys the young guys (white, black, and hispanic) don't have a job. They don't have to relate to the young player even a little. It's up to the player to earn that money and stay out of trouble.

Why! If you look at the rosters of every team in the NFL is is difficult to find a white player. So what exactly is it they are complaining about? Would it be those multi million dollar signing bonuses? Gee, yes, I would sure go on strike to increase those suckers!

I'm sick and tired of hearing about this discrimination stuff. the only thing wrong in the world right now is the fact that everyone thinks they are being treated wrong.
If the players want to own a team then take the millions that they make and buy one. don't try to crawl up the executive ladder make your own.

Your posts are getting dumber by the day. You're half illiterate and full of $hit. You know nothing about football and even less about how to construct a sentence that makes sense to anyone with an education above the 5th grade.

Thanks for the 2 points
When are you going to learn to speak in English so you sound intelligent?
You know nothing about football nor do you have a cousin in the NFL
Wishful thinking
