laura: i have to understand this before i move on because i will forget what you just said. so you re saying when someone is talented leaves the community the business has a responsibility and obligation to then put money back into the community? but is not an absolute legal obligation, a moral obligation? a spiritual obligation? what are you talking about here? i think it s a moral obligation and i think that s why the nfl is in talks with these players. this is a league built on 99.9% white ownership, and you have a black players at 85%. and this is a league that has almost the same amount of black general managers. so the ideal when you go into a community and to see that community is depleted of talent, depleted of goods and jobs and education and you take the talent out of there and that talent brings you billions, i
now you both have to laugh at this. this is just funny. anthony we have to end this on a laugh. what is that all about? anthony, you can wrap it. i just think there is a serious topic here that needs to be addressed with the idea. i think kaepernick and nike did a good thing. ali took a stand against the war? he was heated. he was hated. not too long ago he got an endorsement with adidas and adidas skyrocket. laura: i got it, but one of the greatest athletes that ever lived, if not the greatest athlete that ever lived, whom i knew by the way. laura: god bless you. but don t compare colin kaepernick who can t make an nfl team on merit to muhammad ali. i m comparing the cause. laura: muhammed ali was the best of the best. colin kaepernick is not the best
his entire protesting from start to finish was a campaign that was dishonest with black america about issues that are facing our community. police brutality is not an issue that was facing the black community, it was not in 2016 at the height of all this emotion. and when he was kneeling, only 16 unarmed black men were shot and killed by police officers. that represents .0004% of the black community. this year, only 13 unarmed black men have been shot and killed by police officers representing .0003% of the black community. all of the issues that we could talk about and fix, and nike sent the wrong political issue for them to back. laura: anthony, this is what the nfl said today. they were pressed for a quote, given the outrage and the stock falling. the national football league believes in dialogue, understanding and unity. we embrace the role of everyone involved with this game to
is he still playing football? yes, that colin kaepernick, the out of work nfl quarterback who refuses to stand for the anthem. some nike customers let there she was on fire in protest, i hope they weren t wearing them. president trump s remark said it sent a terrible message but they are free to do as they please. they have certain freedoms to do things that other people think you shouldn t do. interesting comment from him. joining me now for reaction is candace owens, kim vacations director for turning point usa. and anthony hall, sports agent and attorney. candace, i was getting photos all day from people cutting out the nikes swish and putting it in the dumpster. people were painting it over. i mean, it s pretty dramatic stuff, but i guess a lot of people will supported as well. it definitely rubs me the
promote meaningful, positive change in our communities. the social issues that they raise deserve our attention and action. so what action is the nfl going to be taking, do you think? i mean, are they going to be lobbying congress for some more oversight of police departments? are they going to be setting up nfl training entrepreneurships in the inner city? it s my understanding that they have been in serious conversations with the players to invest money where owners have basically went in and plucked out talent and made billions of dollars off of and given these guys millions, which is really smart considering that the league is leaving the community behind and considering a lot of the people in that community are underprivileged.
