Election of Donald Trump Deepening Racial Divide in NFL Locker Rooms

Bleacher Report ^ | 10 November 2016 | Mike Freeman

This has gone way too far. Obama owns all of this. The things he said time after time have created a division of the nation we NEVER had like this before. Unfortunately, the division is probably permanent. Obama, you own this.

[Gaffer]

Frankly, I don’t care what they do. I don’t invest any of my time, interest or money in them. Overpaid simpletons, IMO.

[jerod]

Relax... It’s an election, they have one every 4 years and Trump is probably going to be the best once since Ronnie. Even Wall Street turned optimistic in the end... Stocks are up.

Let them go and get real jobs like the primarily white suckers that pay them.

Obama used countless dog whistles for eight years; even more than seeing Hillary consigned to the dustbin of history, I relish this opportunity to witness the utter repudiation of this useless token mulatto. Trump’s victory (including the House/Senate) is Obama’s legacy, and the more they slam Trump the more obvious it becomes that Obama was an absolute failure. If they successfully paint Trump as a Stalin/Mao/Hitler hybrid, they then still must acknowledge that Obama’s presidency led to it.

"Easily one of the worst days of my life," said a black offensive lineman, also from the AFC.

He never had to play against Butkus.

[Uversabound]

Obama, you own this.

And he is very proud of it.

I found out this morning on the news that many blacks think Make Ameria Great Again is racist.

Duh.

[ssaftler]

I have one question: What’s an NFL? Is that some kind of political influence group???

[GregBo]

I stopped watching the NFL a long time ago. I follow my college basketball team and that is about the extent of it for me nowadays. These professional athletes are a bunch whiny a-holes for the most part.

[blam]

I quit watching the NFL when they go into politics.

I believe Mike Tomlin endorsed Hillary and before her, he endorsed Obama!

[LS]

Irony: A black player worrying about his dog dying.

Dividing us by race, gender, class — that is part of the horrible legacy of the RAT party.

[Genoa]

RTR

[rlmorel]

Yep. He has intentionally created this divisive atmosphere, both in NFL locker rooms and outside of them.

[Altura Ct.]

"If you voted for Trump," said one AFC offensive starter, "I don't trust you." "Black players are constantly playing the race card [when it comes to Trump]," a white NFC player said.

I don't trust you either AH.

"This election had nothing to do with race."

Whites need to quit saying this instead they need to push back.

And, probably one of the least productive.

If the white female candidate had won they’d been ok??

[Ken H]

Well this will certainly help pull the nfl out of its nosedive.
