10 YARD BULLET
- National Anthem: Francis Scott Key, the writer of the anthem, penned racist verses within the anthem itself. He was a slave owner that said blacks were inferior and died a supporter of slavery fighting against abolitionists.
- Discrimination in Hiring: Teams have taken a chance on 21 first time white head coaches and only 1 first time minority head coach, the gap was an identical 21-1 nearly two decades ago.
- Guaranteed Contracts: There are no guaranteed contracts for NFL players even though the sport is the most dangerous of the 4 major spectator sports in America.
- Brain Damage: A $1 billion settlement was reached by the NFL and retired players. The NFL lied and hid information about concussions. Many NFL players have committed suicide due to related injuries.
- Domestic Violence: The NFL holds arbitrary policies on domestic violence against women and the enforcement of those policies.
- Physical Assault: 44 current players accused of rape or physical assault remain on NFL rosters.
- Bankruptcy: 80% of NFL players are either bankrupt or go broke within three years of retirement, regardless of how much money they make in their career.
- Help Future Athletes: Tommie Smith, John Carlos, Craig Hodges, Jackie Robinson, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Muhammed Ali have been victims for making silent protest or speaking out for social injustices.
- Support: Colin Kaepernick and other players like him in their protest for freedom, justice, and equality.
Take A Stand: The NFL should realize the value of its African American Viewers and players by caring about these social justice issues. #BOYCOTTTHENFL
