In light of the controversy surrounding former San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick’s non-existent NFL career, the ongoing National Anthem protests and the recent two-week suspension of outspoken ESPN anchor Jemele Hill for violating a social media policy, it appears Sean “Diddy” Combs has an idea to smooth things over.
On Tuesday (October 10), the rap mogul made one simple request via Twitter: “SELL ME THE NFL NOW!!!!”
The demand followed Diddy’s retweet of political commentator Keith Boykin’s post that read, “Black players are 70% of the NFL. We have the power to defend Colin Kaepernick and Jemele Hill from the forces that would silence them.”
The artist formerly known as Puff Daddy also mentioned owning his own NFL team used to be a “dream” of his, but now he’d rather own “our” own league.
“A league where you can be yourself. Have a retirement plan,” he explained.
In an accompanying tweet, he also seemed to reference Kaepernick, writing, “Have freedom to be a great human and protest for your people without being demonized for your beliefs as a KING!! NEW DREAM ALERT.”
Check out his tweets above.
Nothing says unity like segregation……..
Fuck unity if it’s at the expense of our v humanity. Go away white troll.
…or bullets in your back
Tell that to the people that invented it.
Powers that b will never allow it he know that diddy just trolling like he did Craig Mack album
Want happen a few spin off leagues like world league and usfl all fail and the last one by WWE owner Vince Mcmann fail also so ,Diddy good idea but a long list of pop up leagues fail to mighty NFL
Those leagues never had the best players in the world. There is no NFL without the Black players. They are the league. If they united and joined the new league that would be THE league. White players would eventually jump because it would be the only game in town and the money would follow that league.
Whats up with that photo, looks hes constipated maybe?
There is no way he has enough to buy the NFL. I’d love to see us leave the NFL and start our own league. The NFL would be so boring without us but that would never happen. Diddy could own a team I’d love that as well. If I were a black player I’d watch what each owner says about protest and compile a list of teams I’d never sign with.
He couldnt even buy a top team.
Nowhere even fucking close to buying any team.
The NFL IS boring with us, if it wasn’t for the beer, food and socializing that is around football no one would “watch”(not that most people do, unless you a fantasy football nerd). Anyways, no one should be playing football with that CTE BS and the entire football complex system in the US, is akin to modern day slavery.
u LEGIT just said people in the NFL are slaves…. they make more in 1 year than most do in a lifetime…. throwing the word slave around like its cool. you werent no slave so how the hell do you think nfl millionaires are slaves? down syndrome like you read about…
“the entire football complex system in the US, is akin to modern day slavery.” I didn’t realize the entire football complex in the US was the NFL. How much do they pay people in College or HS football again? How much money is made from black athletes in these rungs of football and they never get to be millionaires in the NFL? Maybe you should get checked for down syndrome .
No, they didn’t say that maybe you should read the post again.
so football players are new slaves? shit sign me up cause id love to make millions for my family to have for generations.
Wow. You fucking can’t read can you?
No he doesnt…his money and credability is all tied up in NEW business ventures from boarding schools to revolt tv/website to his music label man can only be spread so thin same goes for his finances…
With hot ass model cheerleaders from the hood. Hell yes. Ass bouncing all over the field at halftime shows. Ciroc served instead of beer. The “Diddy” yard line instead of the fifty. What else ya’ll?
Couldn’t even buy a team lmao
you would have to take a loan out just to buy a team.
Black folks are 70% of the league. Without the black players, its the leather helmet days for the nfl.
White People are 70% of the Viewers. Without them you wont make a dime.
Missed the point. Black people don’t need white people. They can walk away and form their own.
No you missed the point. If you lose the white viewers you wont even make close what you would make in your own league. Even if every single black person in America watches every game you will make maybe 20% of what you making now.
Nope. Still not getting it. White people that are being addressed is the white owners and racists. We don’t need them. But my post is for Black folks. I don’t care to speak to white folks or about black issues. Or lost black folks.
To quote the first Comment on this Article. “Nothing says unity like segregation”. I dont get your logic at all. So its just about the white owners and racists but you still dont wanna talk to the rest of the white folks to find a common ground and a solution to this problem?
Make the NFL exciting again Puff! Shit it more boring than watching golf.
If Puff can get the funds together to start a league, then he should do it. There should be more Black ownership in sports. Best of luck to him.
It will NEVER happen… rather keep us down then see us win
Wow, have we really gone that batshit crazy. Our president has really exposed how shitty of a society we really are. In what fucking universe does Puffy have the means to buy the NFL…he knows the NFL isnt a dictatorship owned and ran by 1 person right? I think he just inspired me to buy NATO
they have great pensions if they not retarded by retirement age, or blow it on new bugattis every week instead of land & while its a great dream diddy you still working on the 1st billy nfl would be over 100 & you gotta outbid 30+ white billionaires to do it, how bout you buy a few projects, thousands of acres, provide affordable housing folks instead if trying to help fellow millionaires? take all the black entertainers, athletes, wealthy with over 50 million could buy back all their old blocks and do something instead of bentlys
If Jay-Z can’t fully buy the Brooklyn Nets, then no way in hell would Diddy buy the entire NFL.
