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.
