Is it still called Black History Month, or is it called White Discomfort Month now?
Now this…this is change. This is progress.
Let’s be real. It’s not going to change anything. As much as Kap risked what did it really change? The NFL will do a few more gestures on how their all about equally make a couple more commercials maybe something during a halftime performance. They’ll counter this by doing something like putting a woman as offensive ordination or something like hiring a non black person as HC that will settle all noise caused by this.
Due to history, I completely agree.
However, there is always a watershed moment. If this suit goes to trial, the discovery phrase will have enough data to unravel it all.
It may not shut the NFL down, but they bag is gonna be impacted greatly.
Once gamblers can’t trust you, it’s a wrap.
Ask baseball about the PED situation.
Yeah he mad cause he had high hopes of being on the team but the reality the team had their eye on someone else..he’s calling it a sham but the truth is if a team wants someone you can’t say im mad at you for giving me an interview where you have no intentions of hiring me..the rule is they have to let others interview..if that rule dosent exist they probably not even calling him.. the rule that exist is good and bad..it’s good cause it gives black coaches the opportunity to get interviews but it’s bad cause some coaches will go to interviews that’s really just a waste of time cause the team already got someone else in mind
Plain and simple, semantics aside, Flores has a case.
Lot of those players coming out of college only care about signing on that dotted line.. they don’t care what team pick them as long as they get drafted and make the cut..the least of their worries is wondering what the color of their coaches skin is… the funny thing people expect some athletic employees to have more demands Than what themselves actually do.. how many black 9-5 workers demand that they only work for black bizz and black managers? the same people that will complain about athletes are the same people that continue to work for white companies and white overseers and continue to make the white man rich.. it’s funny how people demand others to do things they personally don’t do
One, the kids think like that via self worth they are taught at home about themselves COMBINED WITH many coming out of systemic poverty.
Virtually a lose lose if you don’t train ‘em all the way up.
Second, many everyday people never consider that they can make change at their job on their level, but don’t have enough international fortitude and self worth to do it where they work.
It’s a tough balancing act but we need to teach to the generations under us.
Of course John. Not like you’re going to come out and admit it. FOH
John and that “Sweet Valley High” high school qb jock look will allow to forget he is just as much a red neck as Favre.
Which is why I said on day one that this is the right message but he isn't the right messenger. People tend to forget that Rosa Parks wasn't the first person to not give up a seat but she was just the one they selected to be the face of the fight.
The respectability politics fcked us then with that case (original lady that would not give up her seat just finished her memoir) and it is still fcking us now.
That “proximity to whiteness” is just that: proximity. Yellow hammer to redbone to round and brown to dark as midnight, to them, you still Black.
Rob came with it, but Chris who I don’t normally care for, brought all the smoke.
He said I don’t give a DAMN if you like me or not, but you start fcking wit’ my quality of life, it’s me and you out back.
Okay, so, since Godwll works for the owners, I wanna know who had enough power to get in his ear to put out this statement, although we all know it’s window dressing.
Real quick. White people in power think they are so smart.
You had already broken the Black QB mold. You coulda gave Colin what he asked for and the league would still be running smooth.
But it was a bridge too far.
Now, Flores has filed a suit for where the real power and cheesecake are: the front office.
And now you don’t know how the players will react towards this lawsuit so now you fighting more than one battle.
Black person tells you it’s a problem, and you white, settle up because many of us have short memories.
Oh, well, too late for that now.
