On Sunday, Hill said Dallas Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones’ threat to bench players who disrespected the American flag “has created a problem for his players.” She also said fans could protest Jones’ threat by boycotting his advertisers.

is a courageous woman who speaks to the racist powers that be in media and on the political stage....fuck ESPN , huckaboo, trump and bravo Ms Hill...
Just hope she has good people watching her back...the cowards are who they are...intimidated little people afraid of the strong woman of color...standing against, murder and execution of unarmed and defenseless, men, women and children POC. This controversy in sports is the PERFECT stage to bring attention to what most white people prefer to ignore or minimize...the 'kneelers' are our 21st century 'bus boycott'.....
