"My bad, was just venting frustrations the NFL is "race-norming" in 2021"

The NFL says it will halt the use of “race-norming” — which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive functioning — in a $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims. The practice had made it harder for Black players to qualify.

NFL is a business - they truly don't care about the players health or well being as a LEAGUE.

Might be a 'good apple' in the bunch - but I doubt it.

Where a black brain is considered less than a white one and therfore capable of dealing with more damage.

It was so blatant that MY brain assumed I had also pointed that out.

Truly breathtaking in it's racism.

you're both right.

business does not care about people, inequality and indifference is often always used to the advantage of the business.

i.e., we don't want to pay ANY of these people, but because we don't give a single red-haired fuck about any of THOSE specific people in that group, we love that we can not pay them less or nothing at all. FUCK YEAH.

I didn’t know about this. Good lord. This is pure racism. The players should
really stand up and talk about this.

So Kaep was more than correct.

I might have to stop watching the NFL. God damn

Thanks for posting this.

Eugenics in 2021, unacceptable

...this should be the biggest story in sports right now...

But hey, Julio Jones could be traded, Rodgers might be out of GB, something something Tebow...FOH.
