Believe it or not, I actually love this idea. Put it in the hands of the free market and watch what happens!
Sean “Diddy” Combs– or P. Diddy (for the record, I don’t care if he doesn’t go by that stage name anymore. He will forever be P. Diddy in my brain)– is really upset with the NFL. I guess Roger Goodell’s letter crushed his dreams of ever owing an NFL team. But it’s OK, because now he has a NEW dream! He’ll start his own league!
I did have a dream to own a NFL team but now my dream is to own our own league!

This league will be really great. People will be able to express themselves. Plus, there will be retirement plans galore! After all, NFL players don’t make enough to survive as it is. They’re totally underpaid. Diddy will take care of that. No more struggles!
A league where you can be yourself. Have a retirement plan.

Have freedom to be a great human and protest for your people without being demonized for your beliefs as a KING!! NEW DREAM ALERT!!!!

Wow! Sounds great! Why even bother playing the game? Let’s just create a new sport entirely– one that involves overpaid players simply standing around raising black power fists. And in this league, they can actually take a knee AND raise their middle fingers during the national anthem! (Obviously they’re going to play it. Kneeling is only effective when it’s done during a patriotic moment of respect.) OH! And “F**k the cops” shirts can be part of their uniforms! I bet viewership will be OFF THE CHARTS!
THAT’S RIGHT BROTHER!!! IT’S THAT TIME!! THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO SAY THIS!!!

Dream big, brown ppl need to start owning like r ancestors did when we were segregated. Own hospitals, schools, bus companies, communities!

These people are actually longing for the days of segregation. For real.
That is the mindset we should have. Make a change, make a difference

When I first read his tweets, I assumed he wanted to start a league for the unpatriotic #resisters. Not just black people. Most people are interpreting it the race way, though. Either way, it’s completely idiotic.
Imagine that! Every black man leaving the NFL. It would die. I hope and pray you do it!! EFL, Equality Football League🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

That’s right! It’s time for us to invest in the greatest assets this world has to offer. US

That simple fact all these doubters are making a mockery of this Is a reason to unite and make it happen. Let’s Make It Happen

Diddy should totally start this league. I want to see the look on his face when the free market tosses it into the dumpster.
