Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time:
"Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things.
Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us.
If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.
That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk.
As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter.
I just want to move past this."
Black people hear me…
There is a national obsession with harming, disrespecting, diminishing, and emasculating Black people.
The fixation is no longer subtle.
I do not care to understand the hatred anymore because at this point it’s undeniable.
They’re infatuated with breaking Black confidence, Black unity, Black masculinity, Black femininity, Black success, Black identity and honestly Black existence.
And if this doesn’t make you stand up, lock in, unify, and fight for our future, then nothing will.
The fact that almost EVERY former confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives almost immediately after the SCOTUS decision should be more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection and racism is far from gone in this country.
Republicans: Pass new maps in Tennessee, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas ALL without a vote — upheld
Democrats: Pass new maps in Virginia with a vote from the will of the people — overturned
Make it make sense.
All the states now drawing new congressional maps to eliminate Black districts were slave states that had joined the Confederacy, waged war on the USA and then imposed Jim Crow laws. That MUST be included in all media coverage for context!
Hitting the playoff game tying 3 to force OT in the same game you threw an alley oop to your literal son is more impressive in and of itself than 6 rings.
My brain can’t comprehend how a monkey and a penguin get more attention than an actual human baby, starving in the middle of a genocide. People in Gaza deserve to live too. No child deserves to be starved to death or shot in the head.
You weren’t spending 5 hours at the airport under Biden….matter of fact….the airlines were required to pay you money if they messed up…..just food for thought.
