Joe Staysniak, a former Colts lineman, has been suspended one week without pay from an Indianapolis sports radio station after on-air comments saying black people need to stop being victims.
that included saying black people need to stop being victims, kneeling in front of the American flag is treason, the Confederate flag is not racist and he finds it hard to believe black people are being targeted by police.
Black people need to say,"I'm going to stop being a victim," Staysniak told his listeners on WFNI-1070 Wednesday. To do so,"Well, you know, get an education, you know, get a second job," he said. "Discussing on air the riots that are happening around the country, I shared views about systemic racism that did not give the proper and due attention to the horrible injustices experienced regularly by African Americans in our society," said Staysniak, who played for four NFL teams from 1991-96."I did not stop to consider that my own experience being raised in a family of police officers is not the same as the experiences of so many in our community and in our county.
"My dad used to tell me one thing," said Staysniak, whose dad and brother have been police officers."Don’t put yourself in a situation where police are called."
