If the numbers are as he says they are, a protest from him would be more meaningful. So not only is he a racist, he’s a pussy too.

I thought something like what you wrote.

In an interview with USA Today the 31-year-old veteran seems to suggest that unlike the NFL, the MLB doesn’t need black players. He contends that if you choose to make a political stand protesting “The Star Spangled Banner,” the league will kick you out.

“In football, you can’t kick them out. You need those players. In baseball, they don’t need us,” Jones argues.

Is he implying that such things are happening in the NFL simply because there's a sort of safety in numbers?

What is the actual percentage of players participating in "politican stands," anyway? If it were the case that all "black players" were doing so, I probably would've heard already. I haven't been looking closely at news, but it seems to me that such actions form a lower percentage of players than some would like.
