The Kaepernick Effect Beyond The Super Bowl

By Amy Lukau

 

After the New England Patriot’s historic comeback in this past Sundays SuperBowl 51 which led them to victory over the Atlanta Falcons, Patriot player Martellus Bennett told reporters that he would not be attending the ceremonial visit to the White house. Many thought he would be alone in his public stance, however, Monday he was joined by Devin McCourty, the Patriots defensive back when he too stated he would not be in attendance.

McCourty told TIME magazine, “Basic reason for me is I don’t feel accepted inthe White House. With the president having so many strong opinions and prejudices I believe certain people might feel accepted there while others won’t.” McCourty also went on to say, “I can’t imagine a way I go there.”Super Bowl 51, has arguably been the most politicized sports event of the year thus far, with President Trump tweeting “What an amazing comeback and win by the Patriots.

Tom Brady, Bob Kraft and Coach B are total winners. Wow!” It should also be noted that the President has close connections with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady.Despite the many feelings by both Patriot and Falcon fans one aspect cannot be overlooked: the Kapernick effect.

Both Patriot players have been participants in taking a knee, a political jesture begun by Colin Kaepernick to protest racial injustice in America. Although still early into the week what remains to be seen is if any more Patriot players will follow their fellow teammates lead and opt out of attending the ceremonial visit reserved for Super Bowl champions

    None of the non white players should attend. Period.

  3. Rita Martin says:

    I guarantee in a minute they gonna legalize it that you have to attend or you will be suspended you wait and see only because these black players are doing it. Fuck tom Brady he didn’t go meet with Obama.

      Niggas dumb as fuck..U just won a SuperBowl.. U gotta show your face.White privilege and Tom Brady ain’t the same thing as openly shitting on the president, and not going..Niggas do too much.. I wouldn’t jepordize my $ or eligibility of a NFL career.

      1. E train says:

        Niggas like you are the reason we can’t get ahead because you sell out for money all day everyday! Cooning and buffooning for a couple of dollars, instead of making a stand for your peeps! #niggaswithnoprinciples Smdh

        1. AC130 says:

          Truly… We need to stop thinking about individual monetary gain because the collective feels the effects of white supremacy. They haven’t dominated the world on a individual tip

        2. Jessy brown says:

          No,the reason u can’t get ahead is because your a loser,but it’s good to have someone or something to blame for it.

      2. don g says:

        weak minded fools like you are the reason why black folks will always have a loosing streak… when it time to stand up and fight for what right you will be engaging in coonish actions!

      3. Frank says:

        Boy you sound stupid Trump openly shited on many American voters to encourage stupid white voters to vote for him even tho in his policy he thinks middle class is from 260k-660k please read a book sir.

        Blacks like you are what’s wrong with us. You Coons will do anything for a dollar. He should say fuck his right to be recognize as a human being and continue to earn money for his White Masters? This is the shit that keeps us under the thumb. We love stuff too much. Blacks were the safest and happiest when we were in mudhuts! Fuck Money and Material.

    Shout out to those Brothers !

  5. Everett Gant says:

    If winning the Superbowl is the only ticket for a black man to see the president then I wouldn’t go either. Under normal circumstances such as mine what are the odds? It’s that same old privileged BS.
