Sports Blogger Calls for ‘Black Liberation,’ More of What NFL Fans Are Rejecting
13th September 2020
During the NFL’s Thursday night season opener, fans at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium and the television viewers at home made it clear they are not cool with athlete activism in the workplace. Particularly the Marxist brand of Black Lives Matter activism. That’s unacceptable with the NFL, says sports blogger Tyler Tynes of The Ringer.
The fans in attendance Thursday expressed themselves with boos and those at home did likewise by simply by not tuning in on television. Viewership on television crashed to a 10-year low for an NFL season opener.
Yet in an interview with NPR’s Sacha Pfeiffer, The Ringer’s Tyler Tynes urged African American athletes to give the fans even more of what they don’t want.
The blogger in question is, of course, black.
