On Thursday, NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson penned a letter to the Players Associations representing five major professional sports leagues, asking potential free agents to avoid signing with teams in Texas because of the state’s voting and abortion laws.

The letter was sent to the Players Associations of the NBA, NFL, WNBA, NHL, and MLB, and urges professional athletes to “seek employment with sports teams located in states that will protect, honor and serve your families with integrity.”

What an insult to Black people. In other words, don’t come to Texas if you want the unborn to die…or if you plan to vote more than once per election. There’s no future for you in Texas.

You could make a pretty cool slogan out of this stupidity.

“TEXAS, NOT FOR WIMPS”.
Put it on T-shirts, Hats, Coffee cups, Bumper stickers.

Suits me. I’m sick of these pro-athletics anyway. Let the cash-cow dry up, and they’ll get what they deserve—and so will the USA.

What an insult to Black people...
They ain’t balck! They be colored! Brown, I say brown colored to be exact. And only brown. If that isn’t racist nothing is. But I tend to agree when it comes to the border!

Texas is not safe?

Where are we more safe? Walking down the street in various cities and towns in Texas, or walking down the street on the south side of Chicago?

In the words of the deep thinker obama, naacp doesn’t think people should be punished by not being able to kill their unborn baby.

Most social institutions in the USA have been corrupted by politics, ideology and also cheap printed money

Certainly media, entertainment, government at all levels, but also sports, education and even religion.

And most people think nothing of it. Soon there will be no trust in society at all

How in the world did we ever survive as a nation and a state for the 200 years prior to abortion being “legal?”

Let’s see. We:

- found a polio vaccine
- beat the Russians to the moon in record time
- became the economic powerhouse of the world
- became the most powerful nation in the world
- became one of the first nations to abolish slavery

All before the Welfare state gained a foothold and WITH abortion and homosexuality being a crime nearly nationwide.

We already have a better slogan:

“Don’t f*** with Texas”

Look at any classroom with black children and realize that there could be twice as many without abortion … so NAACP … you tell us where those missing children were safe in your progressive hell?

They say that while recently looking for the bodies of that woman and man they found another nine other bodies … I wonder how many of those were kids?
