#nflprotests

JUST IN: NFL commissioner says will have "full and open discussion" about players' protests at upcoming meeting of NFL owners;  says believes everyone should stand for National Anthem, but also care deeply about players' opinions and concerns.

Often, we encapsulate the idea of #diversity in a numbers game based off levels of melanin in our skin, lands we descend from, or languages we speak. Diversity is not a numbers game, it is not existing in the same place, nor tolerance for each other’s existence, but rather the space and #freedom of #expression of your #culture, #identity, and existence. The current controversy surrounding the #NFLprotests drives at this very point by trying to interrupt the #protest content and context. It represents a cultural #conflict in a space that has been superficially labeled diverse, but rather represents traditional models of oppression. It epitomizes the process of having to convince the public of the needs, representation, and existence of the black community to only be silenced by interrupting the narrative to focus on historical muscle #memory that is saturated in white supremacy. The transfer of focus from the voice of the protest to the demands of the #flag serves to maintain the status quo of #oppression from which the need for the protests were born. The position grounded in fighting for the respect for the flag represents #racism through storytelling by continuing to try to control the narrative and continue to silence the voice of the protesters. The refocusing of the narrative serves to deny diversity and discourage social change. #blacklivesmatter

CEO John Schnatter said in October that the pizza chain had lost millions due to the NFL’s anthem protests. Schnatter eventually apologized for saying that the NFL protests had hurt the company’s bottom line, but he was later ousted as CEO of the company over the ensuing controversy over his statements. #papajohnspizza #nfl #nflprotests #colinkaepernick #friendsofcolinkaepernick
