9:07Now PlayingIn this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill goes all the way in on NFL star Saquon Barkley for flying with Donald Trump to the White House and brushing off criticism like it’s just “politics.”
Marc breaks down why Barkley’s so-called “respect for the office” is not a neutral move... especially when that office has pushed policies that harm Black folks, poor folks, and marginalized people.
Barkley didn’t just go for the post-Super Bowl photo op... he *golfed with Trump*, flexed with Ivanka, and kicked it with Kushner. While some fans tried to give him a pass, Hill isn’t having it... and he calls out the deeper problem with Black celebs normalizing anti-Black power under the excuse of being apolitical.
He contrasts Saquon's cozy MAGA vibes with Jalen Hurts' quiet resistance praising Hurts for skipping the Trump visit and standing on principle.
This moment isn't just about football. It’s about visibility, values, and how silence... or a smile... can become complicity.
