When Hodge stood for something, These same guys didn't get behind him. They cared more about money. If all the black athletes had stood up for him and boycotted the game. Hodge would have been able to retire in the league.
Elton Francis but most of the Black athletes were once like us, the “regular” or average African Americans who are poor & powerless. Black people’s plan is always to get some Black folks a seat at the table, but that never works because said Black folks turn their backs against the Black community when they gain wealth & power.
Mr. Hodges, I apologize for letting the media/NBA influence my dislike for you during this time along with silky smooth Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf. I am appalled by the comparisons of today's athletes to your courage in this video. I am an adult now and understand your passion. YOU should have a permanent job on Inside the NBA, ESPN, etc etc. rather than these cats...minus E.J. he is sincere. It's all good though, I know you know by now "All money ain't good money!" I wish you well.
good on him but let me tell u at the end of the day money wont help you succeed in the grave once you die you die and that all, that temporary satifaciton wont last long all that money wont do good but using that money for good is what can create happiness not being selfish wit it, and also money can help ease stress and financial issues and get you anything you want in a materilstic standpoint but it cant create long term happiness cause at the end of the day were all gonna meet GOD and he will ask what you did with the riches he gave you
Steve Jhonson You're an idiot racist. I have black friends and I'm white. Do you even know what black people did to their kids back then, when they was buying drugs instead of food, it was the white person feeding their kids you dumbfuck.
Nobody on the Panel realizes the significance of what Craig Hodges really has done. They should be asking for his autograph and helping him regain his lost wages. Four Disrespectful Dummies trying to keep their Jobs lol
When money is involved folks be afraid to alienate people who disagree. It ain’t about right or wrong for these dudes. It’s about profitable and non profitable situations. They was uncomfortable as fu(# having this conversation. Noble black leadership is few and far between.
40 to 50 million dollars? Man, Michael Jordan made 90 million dollars his whole career, talk about exaggerating your value. Hodges was a role player at best.
Why force athletes to be activists.. Some are born to be one some are not. Dont force someone to be one when they are not... They are there to play.. To entertainin... Not to be activists.. Its not allowed in the contract..
This is why Craig doesn’t have a job. No one stood behind him, now they will talk about what he did now but was no where to be found when he got kicked out the league.
Craig Hodges wrote a letter to the President about the conditions and issues of the Black Community and not the "Country". He was all about improving our community! #MichaelJordan did not care about the issues that plague our community, he only cared that his brand is successful and money coming into his pockets.
Craig had great intentions but dont put out false narratives look up what MJ did. From 911 victims black college funds to hurricane disasters for people in need. Build 2 hospitals for the uninsured. Just tell the truth

Pwe don't stand together. The same thing happened to me when I stood up. I lost my job. It's not worth it. Mist people cant give up their care.
@@dolldoctrineBlack people arent a monolith
Being black doesnt mean you owe other black people somethibg
Mister Hodges wears a dashiki and writes a letter to George Bush ✉️📃✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
One of Our Many Leaders Craig Hodges!!!!
Stop defending Jordan and defend Craig Hodges!!
yep

Kenny why are you defending michael(no love)jordan. Forget barkley.
Gotta respect people who use their influence for good. W.
Bro this man literally just came to my basketball practice and was not missing anything
He used to run pick up games with us at the Capistrano Beach court. I think we saw him miss one shot in like 2 years. Chill guy.
2:43 Jordan didn't speak on societal issues and became a multibillionaire.
good on him but let me tell u at the end of the day money wont help you succeed in the grave once you die you die and that all, that temporary satifaciton wont last long all that money wont do good but using that money for good is what can create happiness not being selfish wit it, and also money can help ease stress and financial issues and get you anything you want in a materilstic standpoint but it cant create long term happiness cause at the end of the day were all gonna meet GOD and he will ask what you did with the riches he gave you
Jordan should be a ashamed of him self. Sellout....
underground27 I loved Jordan's skills on the court & Jordan brand (retro line) but never liked the guy!

@@truthsterwakeupworldplease8875 Keep telling yourself that. Who brought the drugs into these communities?
Craig Hodges is phenomenal and a quality African.
These guys on the panel don't have a clue of Craig Hodges.
Nobody on the Panel realizes the significance of what Craig Hodges really has done. They should be asking for his autograph and helping him regain his lost wages. Four Disrespectful Dummies trying to keep their Jobs lol
T Johnson Mr. Hodges is a good man, but bringing up MJ makes him look weak.
yep sellouts
WHAT IS ENOUGH BLACK MEN NEED TO SPEAK ON BLACK ISSUED PERIOD TO SAY NOTHING IS UNBELIEVABLE
THA WORLD H8s NEEGAZ. 👎🏿PERIOD😔
Definition of being more than an athlete.
Dope.... Meeting him in 2020 made me come here. Have crazy respect for this GENTLEMAN.
Charles is just useless. Buck dancing over there and trying not to acknowledge the problem.

Salute craig Hodges there people like you to let me know I’m not the only one going thought the same thing 🙌🏿🧝🏿♂️black excellent
Raleigh Simmons Here Fred Tex Winter player Craig's Friend. My Brotha has put his life on the line.
I always felt that Craig Hodges should’ve started over John Paxton. Craig’s fuel percentage was way better than Paxson’s on a bad day.
40 to 50 million dollars? Man, Michael Jordan made 90 million dollars his whole career, talk about exaggerating your value. Hodges was a role player at best.
i hated jordan for this
THANK YOU CRAIG HODGES FOR YOUR SERVICE. Sacrificing your career for me... Craig should sue NBA for wrongful termination..
Please Charles . . Read Moor Ame'rican Heritage Books !!!!

Respect to Craig Hodges. Today's boycott was built on your courage to speak out when others weren't willing to.
This is why Craig doesn’t have a job. No one stood behind him, now they will talk about what he did now but was no where to be found when he got kicked out the league.
People are too obsessed with race.
Goat shooter
They are feeling bad because they stood by and did nothing to help Hodges.
What did bush have to say about the letter tho?
Get that N out the NBA😂😂
Cop outs, the three of them.
Jordan rules.
Respect

@@truckinndrivin3089 true I think people with likes to do there stuff private and not in public.
Ali is the GOAT.
Educated? Hodges is black, that's all the knowledge needed.
