I stopped fucking with the @nfl a few years ago. It sucked. I've been a fan for ages but it was time. Besides Kaep not being signed to a team, they were doing nothing to stem the rampant misogyny and physical abuse/violence of their players. They've also shown time and again that they view Black players (and we Black folks who watch the games) as work mules on their money making plantation. For me, it had long been time to say enough. At the same time, I'm happy so many of the ATL artists I stan have been commissioned to do murals because artists promoting ATLs civil rights legacy deserve all the shine. I'm most happy for this non-commissioned, subversive shit from @occasionalsuperstar. On Friday, the city tore down his well-known #Kaeplanta #WakandaAli mural bc the NFL wanted it gone. Ol boy said, okay. They gon' get SEVEN of them joints in time for today's #Kaeperbowl. I won't be watching the game, but I will be cheering for this right here! https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbFDcWB2V9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s8f6fnb719jf

#Repost from @occasionalsuperstar (@repost_media_app) The first day of @atlsuperbowl53 weekend and the #kaeplanta (1st potrait of @kaepernick7), #WakandaAli (portrait of Muhammad Ali as T'challa) mural and building it was on are completely demolished as of this morning. I found out as I'm going to do an interview with @npr about another mural on Fair St at @marddys down the block. Think about that. The way they kick off the celebration if the @NFL most watched event, they tear down the building with their most talked about professional athlete without a job, Colin Kaepernick. What did he kneel for? Inequality. Human rights. That's the symbol that they just demolished during their celebration. Timing is important and it's a message. #Atlanta #civilrights #kaepernick #BlackPanther #tchallaAli https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWsLZZn5zb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=111w9v6tuojwq
