Roger Goodell said the NFL has 'moved on' from Colin Kaepernick. WritingMoore wonders what would happen if black people moved on from the NFL.
To recap the conflict: Kaepernick in 2016 became the leader of an anti-police brutality movement when heand kneeled during the national anthem before games. It was a peaceful protest to the very violent deaths of unarmed black men that had sparked riots and protests around the nation.
Let’s take that to its next logical step and consider if that multi-ethnic coalition of insulted people of conscience decides to boycott the beer and soda and pizza and insurance and car companies that prop up pro football. Imagine how much money these companies would stand to lose in a week, a month or a year.
Let’s get to the core of it. According to most recent results from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, 70% of the NFL is black. Imagine those players leave the NFL and play in pro leagues in Canada, China or Europe. Imagine they leave and start their own league.
