“The part that I hope people appreciate and take away in this moment is what [New England Patriots owner] Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore the opportunity to go out and perform with Ed Sheeran is they are willing to collude,” Kaepernick said on the MeidasTouch podcast. “The [NFL owners] are openly colluding.”
Kaepernick told the MeidasTouch podcast that Kraft and other NFL owners had tried to hound out Macklemore in a similar way they did to him.
“When we filed the grievance, it was like, well, the owners wouldn’t do that,” Kaepernick said. “Everybody just wants to win within the NFL. And the realization is, no. They want to protect their interests. They want to protect their power. They want to protect their money. And they also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.”
these assholes make bank screwing over major cities and it’s just not enough. it’s never enough. they’ve just got to be even more ghoulish.
They’re the personification of cancer
The nice part for Macklemore though is that he can end-run (see what I did there lol) the issue because he’s reasonably famous and the fans that appreciate him for supporting Gaza (I’m guessing most of his fans, considering this isn’t a new position for him) will go to his shows and listen to his stuff regardless of what the fuckwit NFL owners do or say.
Most of us have been doing that for decades now, too.
Meh. The “organized sports” industry as a whole needs an enema. (see what I did there?) 🤛🏼
