They're unwilling to defend the values that they built their businesses on, says Jason Whitlock, writer and partner for Outkick.com.

In these ideologically
perilous times, it turns out
some of the most daring truth.
Tellers are sports commentators
you wouldnt have expected it,
but its turned out to be true.
After the NBA announced it
planned to paint black lives
matter on courts when they
resume play, someone did what
almost no one else has done. He
directly to size, Blm
Watch,
I dont know how many people
really looked into the mission
statement of black lives matter,
but I did
when you look into it theres a
couple things that jumped out
to
being a father and husband
thats my mission in life right
now.
How do I reconcile that? What I
just told you with this mission
statement that says we
dismantle the patriarchal
practice
we disrupt the western
prescribed nuclear family
structure, requirement
children from single parent
homes versus two parent homes,
the children from a single
parent home. This is one thousand nine hundred and ninety five. I was
reading this
five times more likely to commit
suicide six times more likely
to be in poverty, nine times
more likely to drop out of
high school
twenty times more likely to end up
in prison and thirty, two times more
likely to run away from home.
I knew it. You know why
a lot of my friends didnt have
family structures that were
nuclear like mine and they found
themselves outside of their
dreams, goals and aspirations.
There is a brave
man there.
I wonder what the reaction was.
Internally.
Is anyone listening professional
sports,
the NFL now plans it says to
play the song, lift every voice
and sing a beautiful song, the
so called black national anthem
before every game, along with the
anthem, your used d ring
nothing against the song
very pretty song, but does this
mean we have separate anthems
for separate races,
set a good idea for the country
or not
Jason Whitlock is a writer and
partner at outcast dot com
he used to host with the man you
just saw on Fox sports
happy to have them.
Thank you for coming on.
You are an expert at expanding.
What that actually happening
professional sports?
What do think its about, and is
it a good idea?
I think its really about a
lack of leadership,
the failure of men to stand up
and stand on the principles that
they say they believe in.
So when I look at what the NFL
is doing, this goes against
every value that the NFL has
built itself on. Professional
sports have built themselves on
celebration of Americana and the
ideals and values that best
exemplify America.
They have built themselves on
unity and unifying the country
if the NFL starts out its season
with everyone standing for lift
every voice and sing the black
national anthem and then
virtually everyone on the field
taking any when
the STAR Spangled banner
plays. I think its going to
be, if you remember the show
happy days they jumped the
shark moment when we knew happy
days, was over,
the NFL will run off a nice fat
chunk of its audience and will
never be seen the same again
because of the failure of
leadership throughout the NFL
theres. No way you can do any
homework on black lives matter
and not see that its a marxist
political organization,
its not about black deaths,
its not about black men,
its a political move, a
communist political move
for those people that stand on
religious values- and this is
where I say, its- a failure of
men ive seen many of these
guys, the claim theory their
christianity in their religious
beliefs. They understand black
lives matter. Communist Marxism
is antireligious
its a historic failure of men
and leadership,
its cowardice at its highest
level.
This is the NFL jumping the
shark and saying we quit being
who we said we are.
We are now something else
because our moneys on the line
and we dont stand for the
values we said we stood for
in one minute.
There is an NFL, commissioner,
where is he
probably hiding under his
desk with Troy, Vincent his
assistant,
talking about Roger Goodell?
These guys dont know what to do,
and I dont want to just plain
Roger Goodell and Troy Vincent.
This is NFL ownership, all of
them
cowards,
not standing up for what they
believe in
America has made them. Filthy
rich and some of the most
powerful people on the planet
and they are unwilling to defend
the values they built their
business on and the country that
has enriched them incredibly
across the board Tucker
politically in the sports
world, I am looking at men fall
out of cowardice.
Women fall out of cowardice,
its pervasive throughout this
country.
That is exactly.
