has been drafted in the first round of the NFL and MLB…guess who he is?

Kyler Murray, black.


“The A's took Murray ninth overall during the June draft and gave him a $4.66 million signing bonus. He became the starting quarterback at Oklahoma in the fall of 2018, led the Sooners to the College Football Playoff and won the Heisman Trophy. He picked football over baseball the following February and had to repay $1.29 million of the $1.5 million he had already been paid of the signing bonus.

Then the Arizona Cardinals selected him No. 1 overall in the NFL draft in April 2019. He signed a four-year deal worth $35.7 million that included a $23.6 million signing bonus, was the team's Week 1 starter, won Rookie of the Year and has reached the Pro Bowl the past two seasons.”

A’s signing bonus: 4 million.

Cardinals singing bonus: 23 million…

Difference: you can make 5 times more in the NFL compared to MLB…

So he bounced…ain’t have shit to do with lack of opportunity or race.
