Speaker 1 (00:00):
On today's episode. If I didn't know, maybe you didn't either.
I have a question. You ever noticed how football feel
like slavery but with a halftime show?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. I
didn't know. I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
I mean, think about it. The NFL combine, that's just
a fancy slave auction with Wi Fi. They measuring wingspans,
forty yard dash times, hand sizes. Yep, this one here
can carry a whole plantations worth of footballs down the
field in four point three seconds.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Bruh.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
They got grown men in spandex doing shuttle drills while
old white dudes whisper it looks strong, didn't he.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
I'm like, where's Jango when you need them?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
And let's not even start on college football before nil.
These kids is out there getting hit like they owe
somebody money, bringing in billions for universities, and what they
get a cafeteria meal plan and a good luck handshake.
Wasn't no paychecks, wasn't no health benefits. Just a coach
yelling you gotta play for the love of the game. Meanwhile,
that coach driving a Lamborghini and wearing a visor in

(01:08):
the winner bruf.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
This ain't modern sharecropping. I don't know what is.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
And what about the NFL owners, I mean, let's just
start right there. You notice how we have to call
them owners, not managers, not CEOs, owners, Just something about
that word don't sit right in my spirit.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
They up in luxury boxes like.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, run fast to my boy. And the players seventy
five percent black, coaches, mostly white owners white a than
unseasoned chicken. I'm just saying, how you gonna have a
league full of black folks and not one team called
the Atlanta wacandas where is the representation? And don't get
me started on the physical toll. They out there breaking

(01:46):
their bodies up, getting concussions, and then the league's like,
here's a fifty dollars gift card to Applebee's, thanks for
your service. They even added an extra game this year
for the NFL. I'm telling you, NFL treats players like
old cell phones. It's broken, traded in for a newer model.
Only difference is the NFL don't charge of restocking fee.
But here's the twist. Players starting to fight back. Colin

(02:08):
Kaepernick neil and the world lost his damn mind, Like
y'all cool with the injuries, the exploritation, the CTE, and
the fact that my Dallas Cowboys ain't want a super
Bowl since the Clinton administration.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
But a brother taking a knee, Oh, that's where we
draw the line.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I mean, slavery had rebellions too, Nat Turner in cleats, y'all,
we out here flipping the system one touchdown at a time.
Here's what I'm proposing. NFL players need reparations. Forget super
Bowl rings, start handing out forty eight ers in a Bentley,
and let's diversify ownership. I want to see Jay Z
and Snoop running teams. Imagine a halftime shows. Then, hey,

(02:44):
put me in charge of the Panthers. First move, we
changing the name to the Carolina Black Panthers. Hughey Newton
jerseys for everybody. So yeah, football and slavery not the same,
but let's be real, they could be second cousins. Now,
if you excuse me, I gotta go submit my forty
yard dash to the NFL combine trying to pay off
these student loans. Okay, bye, No,
