Lindsey Horan Stan

His name was George Nkencho. This should not have happened. Don't let this go. Say his name.

Once. 

Not monthly, not for several weeks. 

Once. 

Our minimum wage is $15. 

That means they’re giving us one paycheck that is equal to a 40 hour a week work week at minimum wage. 

J U S T     O N C E

Took them 9 FUCKING months of raking in a senator’s fucking salary of cash into their pockets piddling and poking and getting tax breaks for themselves. 

And this is what they give us. 

THEY MAKE $174,000 PER YEAR. 

That means:

Biweekly salary of $174,000 a year is $6,692 per 2 weeks Weekly salary of $174,000 a year is $3,346 per week Daily salary of $174,000 a year is $669 per day Hourly salary of $174,000 a year is $89.23 per hour

That means that in the 9 months they refused to give anyone money through this pandemic, have let people die and encouraged people to go out and get infected, they have made $120,456 EACH. 

AND THEY WANT TO GIVE US $600. 

You do understand that soccer is their job right and that they are not responsible for their white friends? They are having conversations (which they shouldn’t have to) but their white ass, ignorant teammates aren’t listening. They can’t be going around ignoring or calling out their teammates or they will be out of a job. Or do you really believe that the black player calling out their white teammate will be valued above Kelley and her army of ignorant stans?

Arguing with white women about mere facts of life due to disinformation and ignorance is not a burden for Black women to bear. Crystal doesn’t enable Julie’s ignorance, you aren’t privy to their conversations. Crystal has spoken before about how she wants the anthem to continue because she wants players to have the choice to kneel or stand to keep the kneeling as a form of protest. It has morphed into a symbol of unity, rather than a straight protest as they have permission to kneel now.

What Julie and Kelley do are their own faults and enabled by white ignorance that has existed since the 1600s. You can’t ask Black women to drop friendships with teammates on their way to Tokyo. You cannot. Because the honest truth is that if a fight happens, they don’t have communication that extends to the field, - the Black player is not as privileged as the white player. They might not keep their job. Just as Crystal feared for kneeling the first time, that as one of the only players of color during Jill’s era she didn’t have the privilege to kneel and feel safe regarding her job.

Anyway listen to Black women & actually watch these videos with Crystal Dunn instead of blaming her for white evangelicals standing during the anthem and inviting swat teams to a Black majority kids camp.
