NFL Fans Split After Michael Strahan's Speech Covering Racial Inequality
Sunday afternoon, FOX set the stage for Week 1's slate of NFL games with the pregame show. Analyst [...]
I didn't tune in to Fox to hear and watch about social issues. I tuned in for football. Bye Fox.

prevnextYou better talk that TRUTH @michaelstrahan. Even though its about to be so man "Jim86477997" or flag/eagle profile pics "angry".

Man @michaelstrahan just nailed his commentary on racial equality. If anyone heard that and still can’t understand what the players are doing, they heard it but didn’t listen. That was powerful.

prevnextPeople who aren’t black and brown have also fought against racism for a many decades! @michaelstrahan!

But, football is being played by those being affected by the messages. There won’t be football if they (the players) remain silent.

Human equality shouldn't be political.

prevnextThat is a part of football. What color are the players Brother? They are affected and these conversations are needed. Incredulous!

Thank You! Loved the pregame address to social injustice. Howie Long, it takes a big man to admit he got it wrong - way to go big man! #BlackLivesMatter #EndRacism#FootballsBack#MinnesotaVikings

The conversations must be held!#StrongerTogether
You’ve made the message clear, now get back to the reason you are there...football. If not you’ll lose viewers just as for the games. You lost many today! I tuned in to watch you, my favorite sports guys, talk football & joke, but we will not be watching games. @JimmyJohnson ☮️

prevnextChanged the channel. Just want to enjoy football and hear football talk during the pregame shows.

They're reying to reach ignorant racist morons, and judging from the comments on this tweet alone, yeah those assholes watch football in spades.

prevHowie just insulted everyone who does not agree with him by calling them uninformed or lost souls. What a way to create unity by insulting people. Way to go FOX.
