The presidential campaign of Kamala Harris is rolling out endorsements, and a former Florida Gators running back is on the team.
Emmitt Smith is among a group of 15 Pro Football Hall of Famers including Mel Blount, Kellen Winslow, Andre Tippett, Marv Levy, Alan Page, Drew Pearson, Kenny Houston, Jan Stenerud, Calvin Johnson, Robert Brazile, Willie Roaf, Mike Haynes, Elvin Bethea, and Ron Mix that is part of the Athletes for Harris coalition.
Per the Harris campaign, athletes are “among the most trusted voices for key voting blocs, especially young men, making them uniquely qualified campaigners for Vice President Harris and Governor Walz” as the campaign attempts to appeal to “Gen Z and younger men.”
Smith has been more political in recent months, including going public in March with objections over UF ending DEI initiatives.
“Instead of showing courage and leadership, we continue to fail based on systemic issues and with this decision, UF has conformed to the political pressures of today’s time,” Smith said, adding that those who “stay on the sidelines and say nothing” are “complicit in supporting systemic issues.”

There are lots of people out there saying, “who is Emmitt Smith?” Stick to football Emmit. None of us care who you or any other athlete is endorsing.

One thing is definitely for sure. I am not scared of the senile old fool that frequents this board. With regards to playing football, it was another soy boy like yourself that called me out. You were picked last as well in PE class.😜

I’d say you are quite wrong about this . Read what he has said . The plethora of endorsements that Hall Of Fame athletes are giving to Kamala Harris are yet another important nail in the coffin of Trump’s political career . The fact that you don’t like Emmitt Smith for using his platform to speak out can’t be helped..Tough luck . There are lots of people out there who are saying “Who is Bobblehead Sammy? ” . Stick to yourself . Love will always conquer hate .

NFL, unlike WWF, is a legit athletic endeavor– not a fake morality play like wrasslin’, which employs actors. Which explains why bleach-blonde male posers endorse DJT.

There are certainly NFL players current and retired like Emmitt that support Trump. Remember the country is 50-50. 😄

Nope. I played tackle football from 2nd grade through high school. I even received letters from a couple of smaller colleges offering me to walk on. You were probably the last to get picked when teams were chosen for PE.🤣

Governing bodies of College football and NFL protect American players from foreign competition by controlling scholarships and other recruitment tools. Would love to have DEI policies apply to all American football leagues. DEI ruined many organizations, why not the NCAA or NFL.

Good Morn ‘Ting Sage Patriots, Dook 4 Brains Leftists, and Undecided Voters,
Scientifically & Mathamatically & Logically the above story is a “BIG ZERO, A NOTHING BURGER, and POLITICAL PROPAGANDA.
“E” preaches on:
1.) America, as of 2023 there were 371 members of The Pro Football Hall of Fame.
2.) 15 ÷ 371 = 0.04% of The Pro Football Hall of Fame.
3. ) 0.04 % of anything is “TOTALLY INSIGNIFICANT”.
America, lets all “KEEP IT REAL” by trusting The Science, The Math, The Logic, and most of all, The Sage “E” AMERICA’S DEPORTATION CZAR.
Thank you,
Sage Patriots, Dook 4 Brains Leftists, and Undecided Voters,

America, it is with heavy heart that I must squeel on Emmitt and his cohorts in “THE GANG OF 15”:
They were paid handsomly for their lying endorsement.
HOWEVER:
America, there is yet a “Bright Side … A Silver Lining …. A Redeming Factor to be shared with our Sage Patriots.
I, The Sage “E” AMERICA’S DEPORTATION CZAR, just got out of a meeting with Emmitt and the other 14 ageing X Pro Football Players. And, America, they all begged for my Sage Forgivness because all 15 were Flat @SS BROKE. And when these DNC CHUMPS came around flashing STACKS under their noses they all got together and came to the logical conclusion to “TAKE THESE DNC CHUMP’S STACKS OF CASH” … do the “SILLY ENDORSEMENT” and “STILL VOTE TRUMP”.
I, The Sage “E” AMERICA’S DEPORTATION CZAR, am so proud of these former Pro Football Heros and Who Amoungst Us Flat @SS BROKE from “HARRIS-NOMICS” would have not taken “THE DNC CHUMPS” STACKS of SWEET SWEET CASH????
THANK YOU EMMITT AND THE OTHER 14,
The Sage “E” AMERICA’S DEPORTATION CZAR, you Retired Pros are Forever My Heros,

I, The Sage “E” AMERICA’S DEPORTATION CZAR, have arrainged for these Beloved X Pro Football players to be rewarded for taking 120 Million out of the DNC’S WAR CHEST.
In keeping with Our Great Nations Gratitude I, The Sage “E” AMERICA’S DEPORTATION CZAR, have arainged for each of these 15 HEROS to each be responsable for paying the IRS $17.76 Dollars in income tax on the money they received from the DNC upon Trumps election to POTUS.
America, its the right thing to do,

America my secret sources within the “Evil DNC” have been blowing up my phone to warn me, The Sage “E” AMERICA’S DEPORTATION CZAR, that The DNC is so angry with my Busting up their “EMMITT ABSCAM” that they have put a bounty on my head and have deployed their top killer “HILLUGLY CLINTONORRIS” out to take me out of their hair once and for all.
Pray for me, The Sage “E” AMERICA’S DEPORTATION CZAR, America because this killer “HILLUGLY CLINTONORRIS” is no joke.
Thank you America,
