Howie Long's powerful message regarding National Anthem Protest

3peet · Sep 25, 2017

My favorite Raider of all time.

"Standing for the anthem is something I would not choose to do, but I fully support the right to do it. That being said, what's being lost in the criticism of the form of the protest is the message of inequality. Put it in perspective: As a white father having raised three boys, there were a million things to worry about on a daily basis. But it's impossible for me to understand the challenges that an African-American father faces at every turn while raising his children. But in a league that is comprised of 70% African-American players, if you're a white player in an NFL locker room, that puts you in a position to try to better understand those struggles, and, subsequently as we have seen, show your support for your teammates in your own way. Understanding starts with a dialogue, and the most important part of dialogue is to listen."- Howie Long.

Not many black fathers face the issues Long is talking about as most of them they don't have a daily relationship with their children, if they even have a relationship with them at all....

More idiotic opinions from media idiots...

He'd never stand for the anthem?

There are actually very few black fathers raising children in America as 74% of black babies are illegitimate.

This guy is a complete dope.

I see this first hand every single day and is a fact

As the issue of black unwed parenthood inches into public discourse, Carroll is among the few speaking boldly about it. And as a black woman who has brought thousands of babies into the world, who has sacrificed income to serve Houston's poor, Carroll is among the few whom black women will actually listen to.

"A mama can't give it all. And neither can a daddy, not by themselves," Carroll says. "Part of the reason is because you can only give that which you have. A mother cannot give all that a man can give. A truly involved father figure offers more fullness to a child's life."

Statistics show just what that fullness means. Children of unmarried mothers of any race are more likely to perform poorly in school, go to prison, use drugs, be poor as adults, and have their own children out of wedlock.

^
So the "struggle of black fathers" is that they have made poor life choices and their kids are idiots as a result.

He says what the network tells him to say , typical queer ass PC comment

What issues do African Americans face that the rest of us don't?

They act like cops are driving by guns drawn trying to shoot them.

Uhh, blacks. Everyone and everything is against them.

And then you have the liberal slant where whites are sellouts to the homeboy/ Jewish/ Soros agenda. Howie Long is being sympathetic to pure BS here.

Homeboys love to say I got a "DWB". Driving while black. Yeah, that usually holds up in court.

What rights dont they have?

Just deport them. Nothing but a headache. Sports, especially basketball would be better with an all white league.

Who knows what every player is protesting against... they never actually define wtf they are doing it for...

to be honest most probably can't as they are dumb and illiterate. Heard a Patriot player talking on the radio today about what they did yesterday.
he could not form one coherent sentence, had no clue what he was saying....

when they give them a platform to speak they can't even make a cogent point...

You will find the blacks are not the most organized group. Their pre-frontal cortex lags the development other humans posess. They think like primitive animals therefor are often good on the defensive side of the ball. No thinking, pure instinct.

PoundFoolish · Sep 25, 2017

he says whites have to (fill in the blank) because the league is 70% black. do blacks have to (fill in the blank) because they are 12% of American society?

HacheMan · Sep 25, 2017

Every time a black man speaks out against his fellow African Americans, he's critiquied & called an 'Uncle Tom's by them.

So to be fair, what do we call a Caucasian, Latino, or Asian who deals in favor of a different race & against their own?

Maybe there's the difference right there.

That the three mentioned above understand people of their own ethnicity won't always be right about everything on this planet & ok with the varying beliefs & opinions of their own people...

Do you disagree? Most blacks are great at instinctive positions. Ask them to think and you will be in a world of hurt.

Yes, I want Lawrence Taylor to know the dummy call on a Q76 slant in bunny, know the blitzing sam protection, then audible to a Z fly y cross boston protection while keeping the snap count. My God, that would be a delay of game.

Nope, line him up, give him a couple moves and let insticts take over.
