Are Democrats still watching the NFL?

Are Democrats still watching the NFL? Where is BLM? Discrimination in the NFL has not been front and center this year; I wonder how much money the NFL has handed out through their “Inspire Change” Initiative? I’m just confused why progressives continuously give the NFL a free pass.

Direct Quotes

Jim Trotter, who previously worked for NFL Media, has filed a discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against the NFL and his former company, per Wigdor Law. Trotter claims that he repeatedly called out the league for not addressing, "long-standing, institutional discrimination within the coaching ranks, the NFL league o ice and NFL Media newsroom,"

Trotter said he had a conversation with Jones in 2020 regarding the lack of Black professionals in decision-making positions in the league. Jones then allegedly replied:

"If Blacks feel some kind of way, they should buy their own team and hire who they want to hire."

Trotter also brought up a 2020 Zoom call that had several members of NFL Media in attendance, where on the subject of player protests against racial injustice, Pegula allegedly said:

"If the Black players don't like it here, they should go back to Africa and see how bad it is." 

Both Jones and Pegula disputed Trotter's claims. In a statement, via CBS News, Jones said, "diversity and inclusion are extremely important to me personally and to the NFL. The representation made by Jim Trotter of a conversation that occurred over three years ago with myself and our VP of Player Personnel Will McClay is simply not accurate."

Pegula also refuted Trotter's story, saying it was "absolutely false," and wrote in a statement posted on social media, "I am horrified that anyone would connect me to an allegation of this kind. Racism has no place in our society and I am personally disgusted that my name is associated with this complaint."

"I hope this lawsuit leads to real change across the league and in the newsroom," Trotter said in a statement. "It is on the backs of a majority Black player population that owners have made billions and those players deserve to have someone who shares their cultural and life experiences at the table when decisions are being made about how they are being covered."

I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag.

  https://time.com/4297996/hillary-clinton-hot-sauce/ I hope none of it has ever leaked in her bag. The Time tries to cover for Hillary Clinton boasting about the health benefits and her collection of hot sauces. If that is true why not say that in the interview? Actually after this comment she was told people are going to think you’re pandering to the black community where she said “is it working”. Direct Quotes: In a radio interview Monday morning, Hillary Clinton was asked to name something she carries with her everywhere she goes. “Hot sauce,” she answered. “Yeah.” The Clinton campaign has confirmed to TIME the type and brand of hot sauce now toted by the Democratic front runner for the presidential nomination: Ninja Squirrel, a Sriracha from the in-house brand of Texas-based Whole Foods Market. “And we continue to carry chili flakes and jalapeños around,” says Clinton campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill. Clinton was speaking to one of New York’s largest hip-hop and R&B stat...

Joe Biden should take the same test.

https://www.nytimes.com/article/trump-cognitive-test.html Joe Biden should take the same test. The media, including the Washington Post, continued to down play the difficulty of the test and even said the test is too “blunt” of an instrument and for most people it’s too “easy” and “the test is not that difficult”. If that is true, then the genius that is president now should have no problem! Direct Quote: But it is by no means definitive, or even diagnostic, experts pointed out. And as the president tries to draw a contrast between his mental faculties and those of Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a fellow septuagenarian he expects to face off against in November’s election, some experts criticize his politicization of such cognitive screening tests. “You would think he would understand clearly what the test result was and why the test was done,” Dr. Karlawish said, “and not turn it into a competition about mental health.” This screening test was designed about 20 years ago as a pos...
