NAACP is calling for negro athletes to spurn the south

NAACP at war.

Blog King, Mass Appeal

ATL — “🎵Fight the power! We’ve got to fight the powers that be!🎵” The NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus are calling on negro athletes to eschew collegiate programs in the SEC and ACC, mainly because it’s their assertion Black voting rights are restricted in southern red states. The NAACP launched its “Out of Bounds” campaign on Tuesday to exhort black athletes, their families, alumni and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from public universities in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi and Texas because they “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation” with plans of gerrymandering Black congressional areas. NAACP President Derrick Johnson held a news conference outside the U.S. Capitol where he accused the aforementioned states of “seeking to reinstitute a sharecropping reality” by recruiting blacks to play for flagship universities while curbing “our ability to elect candidates of our choice.”

Johnson might be on to something. If properly executed, a boycott could certainly work. That’s because clueless black athletes are worth billions in terms of television revenue, shoe deals and NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness). The bottom line is athletic brothas are fundamental commodities in the mold of oil, gas, livestock and grains. “Black athletes should not be asked to generate wealth, prestige, and power for state institutions while those same states strip political power from Black communities,” Johnson said.

“We will fight with all we have in solidarity with the Congressional Black Caucus to ensure that we have representation, or if we don’t, we will withhold the talent that plays on the football field or on the basketball court, be they male or female.”

Me, personally, I don’t think the boycott will work even though it would benefit my Kansas State Wildcats and other Big 12 schools.

Athletes want remuneration and if a southern school offers more NIL mazuma💰, they’re going — plain and simple.

That said, I’d like to see the protest expanded to address a paucity of negroes in key positions of scholastic leadership (i.e., head coaches, athletic directors and chancellors).

What say you?

Should athletes and entertainers be thrown on the frontline to advance this type of political agenda?

Or, is this the responsibility of Democratic legislators?

Watch Johnson’s news conference, his interview with Joy Reid and instant reaction.

  1. Democrats don’t care about black men especially young black males they want kids to protect the democrats and their jobs shame on them but are not willing to ask teachers and professors to do the same. What about students who don’t play sports?

  2. The campaign is called “Out of Bounds?” Dam

  3. FOHWTBS (fuck outta here with that bullshit)

    STOP asking FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICAN athletes to give up LIFE CHANGING NIL for a democratic party that has not done SHIT specifically for FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS IN 58 YEARS.

    FOHWTBS

    The democratic party only concern is and has been getting illegal invaders citizenship and giving social assistance to immigrants, legal & illegal.

    FOHWTBS.

    ALL FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS ATHLETES do not listen to this BS. GO GET YOUR NIL for you and YOUR FAMILY.

    FOH democrats

  4. @Tyler Hackner: Fuck celebrities. I say get doctors, lawyers and attorneys to put they careers on the line.

  5. NAACP is worthless. I ask for help when my son went missing and was told they couldn’t help me even though my son was black but because I was white.

  6. I remember when Democrats were pushing another lie . Democrats target the young who are gullible . Collin kappernick ruined his career when he claimed he was oppressed as he was raised by wealthy white parents. Kaepernick grew up with priviledge . Kappernick then pushed the Democrat lie that black men were being shot down like flies by cops in the street . Another lie by Democrats to fire black people up to use them for votes . Statisctics did not support those claims . Blacks were killing blacks in record numbers in inner cities loike chicago stats supported that . As Kappernick bout into the lie of oppression as he screamed racism and oppression he walked the sidelines in Fidel Castro apparell . Castro happened to be the biggest oppressor known to man . Kappernick lost his career the whole thing was sad and mind boggling . Democrats used him up . Now Democrats are targeting the young again with another lie all to get black people fired up and spinning their wheels to get a big turnout . Now they want college athletes to give up their college careers boycott because the lie Democrats are now pushing is that blacks are losing the right to vote . Again they target the young who are gullible and believe the Democrats who are desperate . What has happened is Democrats who relies on the race card and race have been gerrymandering districts based upon race . The supreme court has ruled wheter white or black you cannot do that because it is racist . Democrats have been gerrymandering the maps for years . To stay in power . Black people are not losing the right to vote and all of the boycotting in the world will not change the law or the Supreme courts ruling . Critical thinking skills are very important . This latest thing by Democrats where recruits lose scholarships is about the dumbest idea they have come up with yet beyond ignorant . It will accomplish nothing or change nothing . Democrats will use whoever they can to stay in power . They use black people every four years for votes do nothing for them then disappear until the next election . They keep black folks upset spinning their wheels as they use them . Democrats even put illegal’s before them . It is just mindboggling how or why black folks cannot see what is going on . This is one decision you can boycott call everyone racist but your not going to change the supreme courts ruling . Black folks like everyone else have the right to vote and elect the candidate of their choice nothing has changed . It will be harder for Democrats to cheat they are not happy about that either . See Fulton county Georgia . Democrats have relied on the race card and division and identity politics so long they will not have that as much anymore . By and large Democrats are a Godless party . They have nothing but perversion and nothing the everyday working person can relate to . Be interesting to see if they can come up with any new ideas this one the boycotting is the Dumbest yet . However not suprising Democrats are on the wrong side of every cause . I have not watched the NFL since Kappernicks ignorant doings or sports . There is more to do than sports the world will survive lol . People like me whgo were paying big money to go to nfl games while being called a racist rrealized we dont need the nfl or to watch a bunch of grown men play a childs game the world kept turning . Just like the Democrat party people have left by the droves . Again it will as usual all blow up in the Democrats faces .

  7. Asking young black guys to sacrifice their future for your politics. Not happening. Get a life loser.

  8. Let these schools and states run themselves into the ground.

    The same people that don’t want black people to have their vote count or vote at all, also don’t want women to vote, have jobs, or go thru higher education.

    Then who would be attending their schools, playing in sports, or paying tuition.

    Watch the money shrivel up and they come begging.

  9. These YN’s don’t give a damn about no politics! They’re trying to get the bag.

  10. Asking young Black athletes to to not get paid through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals has absolutly nothing to do with the state supreme court ruling on rezoning districts. The supreme court decision does not take away black voting rights. Black are still able to vote in Tennese and it’s a shame to ask skilled athletes to forefit perhaps the only means to get out of poverty for the democratic political agenda. The NAACP was created and is controlled by YT …ish people said Judith Varnai-Shorer, the former Israeli Consul General in Atlanta, stated that “”The major problem with Israel is with the young generation of the Black community.”

    My young Black talented atheletes DON’T FORSAKE the NIL cash flow you deserve. The powers-to-be are trying to keep us down. WHY DON’T THE DEMOCRATES ASK THE BLACK PROFESSIONALS to forsake their jobs for the NAACP? You only will have one shot to get rich so don’t let politicians cause you to miss your ONLY opportunity.

    Everytime an athlete get involved in politic, they are told to play ball and stay out of politics. SO STAY OUT OF POLITICS. No one is losing their voting rights, so falsely claimed.

  11. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE BOYCOTT. McDonald’s all Americans need to go to Big Ten, Big 12, PAC-10 or any conference that’s not in the SOUTH….PERIOD…

  12. This is selfish behavior to ask these young men and woman who’s future is ahead of them to not go to these colleges some of these kids come from poverty if they have a chance you let them take it
    Damn the naacp a group of people who dont do shit for black people anyway.

  13. We are experiencing the same shit we lived with through the 50s and 60s of my youth. And we began to wake up to the practices that the conservative movement began to perpetuate. We became aware of the history of America and the ugly truths of its history, and where we stood in that history. It is beyond time our youth of today grasp a full understanding of the issues we lived with and fought against.

  14. How about boycotting the NAACP. It’s 2026 and the still have colored in the name. Why should an athlete give up their dreams because Negros won’t get off their behinds and vote. This campaign is dead on arrival. These recruits are getting NIL now….even in high school. They would be stupid to give that up to make a political stance.

  15. The Democrat shills are delusional. Why would these kids give up their dreams when you don’t properly represent them? Placing everyone’s needs above Black American is why you’re in this position now, you have NO wins under your belt. 1. No Black Hate Crime Bill. 2. You’re against Reparations, even though Pres. Trump is giving them to criminals. 3. No tangibles no vote. They should all be ashamed that they’re throwing this on the laps of young men and women, instead of fixing this problem.

  16. Using 18 year old kids to do what grown azzz adults should be doing. We’ve failed them..

  17. Black athletes don’t just fund athletic departments, they fund the schools. And these schools have never cared about these student athletes actually getting an education. So those who play college ball, but make it to the pros, often leave school without having gained what’s needed to succeed in other areas.

  18. Auburn former football coach, now senator and running for Governor in Alabama Tommy Tubberville has made millions off the backs of black college football players while voting against anything that benefits black people. He even went as far as to say, his words exactly ”
    ( Not only NO to even discussing reparations for black people, but HELL NO). So my question is why would a young black athlete not question going to a program with that mentality towards them and their people???????

  19. Sounds good, but why not go for a Mlking solution? If they can’t have games without us, why not demand govt react to us-or else? It worked in the civil rights era. 60 years later we can demand regional change(SEC)and nat’l change(independent map makers). We hold all of the cards. We should make bold , irreversible demands based on our economic black power. Anything less is to ignore their capitulation when they had far less to lose. Look at what happened to Target! They came begging!

  20. Naacp are cowards. You cant sacrifice and use black college kids to fix 65 years of Democratic party failure. Yall are cowards.

  21. If you going to do this you have to go all the way. Dont watch or attend games, stop buying merch, dont go to any events on their campus or at their stadiums, dont vacation in those states, entertainers need to not have events there also. We are asking alot of our student athletes. If we cant take the Essence festival out of Louisiana how can we ask our kids to not go to the schools there. It starts with the adults. Its starts with voting!!! Even with the redistricting. If we vote in large numbers it will hurt them even more smh!!!! Why are we not voting is the real question!!!!!

  22. This is horrible.
    Kids, don’t risk your college life for these folks.
    What they’re asking is sick.
    You’ll only hurt yourselves.
    They are using you for their own gain.

  23. STOOOO-PID!!!!!!!!!!! “Hey young athletes why dont you destroy your opportunity; of which you sacrificed from pop warner to AAU, so that WE can influence and control YOUR opportunity, that WE neither worked for or frankly care less about😂😂 great advice😂😂😂….😂 STUPID!!!! YALL young athletes better not lose the opportunity that you and your loved ones worked for by following this MESS…. just krazy dawg

  24. I have a question for everyone who is ok with what the NAACP is asking these babies to do. My nephew has just received a full ride athletic scholarship To The university of Ole Miss. Now with that being said can I get a legally binding document signed from each one of you stating that if he boycott Ole Miss you will pay his college tuition for the next four years? My Nephew don’t wanna hear a bunch of cross talking. A simple yes or no will do. If not, I suggest you all leave these babies alone and allow them to attempt to change their family lives for the better.

  25. @BeautyAndBrains: Been saying this. Don’t stop at sports. Even non black stars like comedians, singers etc should not do tours in red states with voter/rep dilution. If you support democracy then don’t let your talents, skills, art to generate millions in these states. I.e. when a big star tours, that generates a lot of money in states they have concerts etc. stop doing that in those states.

  26. Black athletes don’t just fund athletic departments, they fund the schools. And these schools have never cared about these student athletes actually getting an education. So those who play college ball, but make it to the pros, often leave school without having gained what’s needed to succeed in other areas.

  27. I think we Black Americans have conformed to the ideals of capitalism and classism and are not willing to make sacrifices. This complicates our unity, our wealth building and our black power to achieve inner peace, respect differences and prevent incarcerations.

  28. THIS IS UNIVERSALLY STUPID. LAND GRANT STATE SUPPORTED COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ARE THE VERY INSTITUTIONS WHO BATTLE AGAINST RACISM. THESE SCHOOLS STAND AGAINST HATE SPEACH, STAND FOR CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS. IF THIS IS THE REASON TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST TRUMPISM. STUDENTS LEARN THAT LIYING, CRIMINAL SEXUAL PERVERTS AND SERIAL ADULTERY, AND CHILD MOLESTATION. TRUMPISM SUPPORTS THE MASS MURDER OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS ALL OVER THE WORLD. SOUTHERN STATES, JUST LIKE MIDWESTERN STATES AND PLAINS STATES ARE ALL RED STATES. UNIVERSITIES OFFERS AND DEMANDS THAT STUDENTS LOOK AT REALITY IN WHATS GOING ON EVERYWHERE. IF SOUTHERN STATES ARE BEING SINGLED OUT, THEN YOU BETTER CAST A WIDER NETS. YOU NEED TO BOYCOT BOSTON, OHIO, INDIANA, NEBRASKA, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, CALIFORNIA AND ANY STATE THAT’S RED AND THIS ILLEGAL. YOU ARE REMOVING BLACK STUDENTS FROM UNIVERSITIES IN THE SOUTH WHO RESPOND TO THE HORRORS OF MASS SYSTEMATIC RACISM PERPETUATE BY NARROW MINDED BIGOTS. ALL UNIVERSITIES FROM ANYWHERE ARE PLACES WHERE STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEET TO DISCUSS THE DIALOGUE OF IDEAS AND BELIEFS IN THE FREEDOM GREAT EXCHANGE OPENLY. DO,YOU WANT TO KILL OFF THE ONE PLACE WHERE YOUNG BLACK STUDENTS CAN BE A PART OF THE ISSUES THAT FACE EVERY HUMAN CAN LEARN AND DISCUSS THESE VERY ISSUES. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE BEST PLACE TO CREATE A DIALOGUE. DON’T BLAME THE UNIVERSITIES OF THE SOUTHERN STATES MARSHA BLACKBURN ,MARJORIE TAYLOR GREEN.
    PLEASE FORGIVE ANY ERRORS. I AM A RETIRED PROFESSOR APPROACHING 80 WITH SHORT TERM MEMORY ISSUES, YOU KNOW, DEMENTIA. BUT I HAVE MEMORIES OF THESE DIALOGUES. THEY CAN STILL MOVE PEOPLE TODAY. THE BEST PLACE TO GET GOING.

  29. The kids of the 1965 civil rights fight had dogs put on them, fire hoses, hitting the head with batons. All to make sure that the kids that came after them had rights. So what they’re saying is that for a little bit of money these kids shouldn’t fight to maintain those rights? GTFOH

  30. So black athletes should not play at schools in the south to go play for schools in the north with presidents and coaches who voted for and support Trump policies? And let’s be honest, attending HBCUs is not a legitimate financial and facilities option for many black athletes.

  31. Before integration all the Black Athletes came from the HBCU’s

  32. Also, go tell immigrants and the LGBTQ 🌈 to fight. Democrats care more about them than us.

  33. BLACK PEOPLE REGAIN YOUR POWER WHETHER IT BE ECONOMIC OR PHYSICAL!! REMEMBER YOU HAVE THE POWER!! USE IT!! POWER TO OUR PEOPLE ❤💚🖤

  34. These athletes are not going to do anything because they love money more than their own people

  35. Go to Big 12 schools. They will actually teach you something. Southern schools are just as bad as Harvard or USC. A bunch of woke nonsense.
