Steven Hauschka making headlines, speaking out about racial inequalities.

I saw this headline and immediately thought "uh-oh, now what?"

Fortunately he speaks well for himself. Especially that last paragraph. We should all feel that way.

“So that’s where it comes from: a place of love and caring and wanting to see the world a better place,” Haushcka said. “I don’t have all the answers, I don’t even pretend to. But I am open to talking about it and I am open to learning about it with the hopes that one day, either our generation or future generations, can improve racial inequality and how people are treated around the world.”

STFU, you worthless a-hole.

You kick an inflated, leather clad rubber bladder for a living.

Your opinion holds no more value than that of a six-year old child.

You are paid exponentially more than 99% of the people in this country, who work our asses off every day and who form opinions about given individuals on a case-by-case basis, based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

Spare us the lecture you self-important gas bag.

Shut up and kick the ball.

[k-oneputt]

Well that's one way to put it.
You do have a way with words Wagoncircler.

That's one of the main reasons I watch the NFL...to hear about what the players think about racial inequality. Before now, I thought they were all for it...except for the white guys of course.

[DynaPaul]

If there were really that much inequality the NFL would still be like it was around the time of Pollard and Marshall and Negro Leagues would be kept separate.

He's paid what he's worth, no?

[BLUTO]

Who really cares what he thinks - just kick the ball!

[Wally The Barber]

LOL. Somebody ASKED him about this. ASKED him. Any idiot that lashes out at what he said is, well, an idiot.

He's the kicker. And the source was the Buffalo News. You're an idiot too.

“I think a lot of white people don’t understand it and are afraid to be involved,” Hauschka said, via Kimberley Martin of the Buffalo News. “And I think it’s important for white people to see there is inequality everywhere in the country right now, and in the world.”

Just your typical white-guilt ridden response from someone uniformed about statistics and brainwashed by overly vocal self-interest groups. This whole argument is stems from police shootings of unarmed men, correct? Show me one statistic that shows that black men are being specifically targeted in far greater numbers by police. As of today, only 22% of the 721 people killed by police this year are black. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...hootings-2017/.

But this doesn't feed the race war narrative that the news media needs to survive, so people make up nonsense about systemic racism, like there are actually laws on the books that were put there to target non-whites. Fact of the matter is, police shootings of unarmed suspects are extremely rare, but get magnified by a left-leaning media in order to pander to demographic voting blocks.

No. They do it because it is tragic and 100% wrong 100% of the time. And, btw, FOX reports every single one. So stop blaming everything you don't like on the left. It shows you have a problem.

[YardRat]

So now he's going to get cut and black-balled like Kaepernick because the owners and league don't want the players getting uppity and making a political statement. Right? Right??

Wrong -- they do it to stoke racial tension. Tell about the last time an unarmed white man was killed by the police and it became a year-long news story. No rush, I'll wait; you're going have to do some serious Googling.

If he kneels during the anthem and becomes the face of a movement, yes.

look. if Kaepernick was Tom Brady and didn't suck at his job and lose his job to Blaine ****ing Gabbert we wouldn't be talking about him getting 'blackballed.'

when it comes down to it, if you can play. you'll play

Yup. This is a concept people are willfully ignoring in regards to Kaepernick. As long as your talent outweighs your baggage, you will be viable in sports or any job, really. The minute that pendulum swings the other way, you're in trouble.

You're a liberal pussy. Punch yourself in the face. Thanks in advance for doing so.

[Novacane]

That's nice Stephen. Now please stop giving me reason to be nervous every time you line up for a kick.
