No surprise here. Leftists claim to be against “hate” but indulge in it lavishly.
“Flag on the Play: NFL Taps Anti-Semitic Rapper To Lead Social Justice Initiative,” by Chuck Ross, Washington Free Beacon, July 1, 2022:
The face of the NFL’s newest social justice initiative is an anti-Semitic rapper who in his songs has called for violence against Jews and Asians.
Ice Cube, whose real name is O’Shea Jackson, has in his songs referred to a Jewish music producer as a “white Jew” and “cracker” and Asian shopkeepers as “little Chinese motherf**ker[s].” He is also an admirer of Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader who has called Jews wicked and compared them to “termites.”
Now, Ice Cube will lead the NFL’s “economic equity” program to spur partnerships with black–owned businesses. The partnership is through the rapper’s Contract With Black America Institute, which supports reparations and affirmative action for secondary schools and colleges….
Ice Cube has an extensive history of anti-Semitic, anti-white, and anti-Asian rhetoric. He came under fire in 2020 for a series of social media posts with anti-Semitic tropes and for praising Farrakhan.
“The Honorable Louis Farrakhan continues to warn America to this very second and he’s labeled one of your ‘evil names’ and you turn your ears off,” Ice Cube tweeted in June 2020.
The rapper, who has posted photos with Farrakhan, later that month chided CNN anchor Jake Tapper for calling the preacher a “vile, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Semitic misogynist.”
“Watch your mouth, Jake,” Ice Cube warned Tapper, who is Jewish….

Even if I wanted to continue watching the NFL I couldn’t because the NFL no longer exists. In its place is the pseudo-NFL. The old NFL was not looney, not woke, not silly and it was very patriotic. The pseudo-NFL is looney, very woke, very silly and not patriotic at all.
The Left ruins everything. They have killed the old NFL, a once great organization. RIP.

Sadly true, Wellington.
I no longer think of the Niners as the team of Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, but where Colin Kaepernick first “took a knee”.
mortimer says
Agree, whoever is in charge of the NFL is mistaken to think their fans want WOKISM, JIHADISM or ANTI-SEMITISM.
Fans will stop watching and start watching college football or some other league that leaves out the virtue-signalling.

This is already happening, Mortimer:

I can’t say this is the only reason for the decline of interest, but it certainly would seem to be a major one.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
I, too, I’m also totally done with the NFL – and I used to enjoy Tom Brady’s time with the Patriots.
But, still, lots of goods college football out there – especially when Army plays Navy!
Even some my friends who had been diehard NFL fans have made the switch.
Wellington says
I fear, though, James, college football is next in line to be ruined by Leftism. Hope I’m wrong.
James Lincoln says
Yeah, hope so Wellington.

Yes–my husband still watches a lot of minor league and college sports–but this “wokism” is encroaching there, as well. Just sad.

NFL’s new social justice initiative led by rapper who called for violence against Jews and Asians
……………………….
Utterly disgusting, but who can be surprised at this point? The NFL no longer reflects American values of equality and decency. And it can’t be that the NFL has no knowledge of Ice Cube’s ugly, long standing history of antisemitism and calling for violence against Jews and Asians.

And here are the vicious lyrics of “Black Korea”:
Every time I wanna go get a fuckin’ brew
I gotta go down to the store with the two
Oriental one penny countin’ motherfuckers
That make a nigga mad enough to cause a little ruckus
Thinkin’ every brother in the world’s out to take
So they watch every damn move that I make
They hope I don’t pull out a gat and try to rob
They funky little store, but, bitch, I got a job
Look, you little Chinese motherfucker
I ain’t tryin’ to steal none of this shit
Leave me alone! (Mother fuck you, yo, yo, check it out)
So don’t follow me up and down your market
Or your little chop suey ass’ll be a target
Of a nationwide boycott
Juice with the people, that’s what the boy got
So pay respect to the Black fist
Or we’ll burn your store right down to a crisp
And then we’ll see ya
‘Cause you can’t turn the ghetto into Black Korea
[Outro]
Mother fuck you

Lewd, rude, crude … repulsive bigotry and beyond the pale.
Anyone who admires Farrakhan is a bigot.
Wellington says
Wretched stuff, gravenimage. I don’t see how anyone of sense and knowledge can watch what passes for professional football any longer.
gravenimage says
Sadly agreed, Mortimer and Wellington.

Only Jews and Asians? As a white guy I protest, I feel left out, dis-included. Perhaps they are not ready to go that far but anytime they feel like it, go ahead.
BexarKat says
Cowards like O’shea are more cautious with those he fears most but can do nothing about….yet
Devasur says
That’s the tactic of left first go for the small most hard-working groups then after that go for others one by one.
Other groups won’t question if they attacked these small groups.
The same happens in India where they target brahmins for everything in the west it is the Jews and Asians.
Andrew Blackadder says
This is the lowlife Bill Maher brought onto his Show so that Maher could apologize for saying he ”Aint no house nigga”… As that nigga sat beside Maher saying, ” You cant use that word as that word is only for the brothers to use” and Maher almost bowed down and kissed that nigga ass in deep sorry for using a word that is in EVERY Rap ”song”…
Meanwhile all those kids in the Hood are laughing their black asses off at whitey while they call him cracker, whitey, redneck, but nobody tells them to stop using those words are they are ours…
Perhaps those folks living in the Projects should try doing what the Asians are doing, do what the Jews are doing, that is, get an education, get a job, clean up the neighborhood, stop worshiping the nigga selling nickel and dime bags of crack on the street corner because hes got a gun, but it seems they rather just play the victim card rather than learning that success is the best revenge.
The biggest enemy of black America is people like Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan, two bit Race hustlers of a low IQ.
tgusa says
These days only the daring speak the truth. You dare not speak non-leftist truth…or else. And so they have left us with two choices. We can submit to them and their crazyness or fight it.

Another” musician ” rapper using profanity ,racist, lyrics in his “songs” embraced by the NFL as an example for young black men to follow? It looks like the owners suffer from more head concussions then the players.In this woke day and age being black gives you license to be profane and racist in the garbage you call your art .Anyone who voices an opinion against it is either threated with violence or called a racist themselves and canceled. The core of sports fans watch sports as entertainment they do not need to or want the woke opinions of owners and players who earn more in one year that many of them do not earn in a lifetime of hard honest work in the real world
