Video of NAACP condemning Floyd & to eliminate his AT&T & Reebok sponsorships

you know he is one of the few high paid athletes who doesn't make a huge portion of his income from sponsors

and i can't see that changing with his constant jackass behavior

 

didn't reebok already say they don't and never did sponser him?

 

This is why I like being white.
If I act like a dick.... I'm the one acting like a dick. Not my entire race.
And other people who happen to be white don't feel the need to make any more excuse for me other than "well.... he's a dick".
There's no white caucus that will make an issue of "how you're making us all look bad".

If there's anyone Floyd has to answer to - it's the human race.
And humans, individually, can make decisions whether to write him off, support him, help him....whatever.

The fact that the NAACP needs to or feels they need to respond on behalf of Floyd is silly.

 

I've read an article that said Reebok and AT&T beat the rush a while back by dropping Floyd some time ago before these recent developments.

 

lol, honestly i dont make Floyd's video as much of a big deal as its being made. I feel PBF was talking alot of **** cuz thats what fighters do to incense the other fighter. I dont feel he carries specific hatred towards phillipinos and he really didnt go to the point as would classify as an "extremist". Yeah, he threw in some racial jabs and slurs, but nothing really hardcore. Honestly, he made me laugh and im asian lol. You just gotta take it for what it really is and not take it seriously. Cuz, really, its just silly to take PBF seriously.

Hyper-sensitivity is carrying the legacy of racism more than anything else. People gotta let the hatred and skepticism go or we'll never progress past the past. There are very few truly racist extremist, and the best thing a society can do is just ignore them. This invalidates their point, position and influential power, and realize no one else is gonna buy in and follow, or get incensed by them. And they just fade out and disappear while the whole continues to progress forward.... the NAACP is the last hold-over and bastion of this lousy legacy

 

Good point Falk, I'm a black man, and i feel he does not have to answer to me, thats a little unfair, he is a man he needs to answer to himself and himself only.

 

what would be silly is to have the naacp up in arms every time someone black gets discriminated and pretend they dont see blacks doing any discriminating.

 

floyds deals with AT&T and reebok are bull****...

they were just for the AT&T commercial that he did and an apparel deal.... his deals are trash and don't even make up for more than 1 million $ combined

 

Exactly.
If Floyd makes a mistake - it's solely on him.
If I make a mistake - it's solely on me.

If Floyd does respond and truly apologize for what he did - then it should be on his own terms. Not because he felt he was being strong armed into doing it.
