Ex-Dolphins coach Brian Flores sues, saying NFL ‘rife with racism’ - New York Daily News

"In certain critical ways, the NFL is racially segregated and is managed much like a plantation," the lawsuit charged. "Its 32 owners — none of whom are black — profit substantially from the labor of NFL players, 70% of whom are black."


"THE RACIAL DISCRIMINATION HAS ONLY BEEN MADE WORSE BY THE NFL'S DISINGENUOUS COMMITMENT TO SOCIAL EQUITY.”

It's pretty damning. The dumbass owner offered the coach money to lose. And people still paid for tickets and rooted for the team. 

Suckers. 

And that makes Ross the worst owner in the nfl, if not in all of sports. 

The nfl is not seeing a dime of my money. 

On the NFL

5 teams have not made the superbowl in the 50 year span:

Jets
Texans
Browns
Jaguars
Lions

Four are from the AFC. Two were more recent expansion teams.

Bizarre right?

Super bowl participants

The dolphins last won the super bowl after the 1973 season. You know nearly 50 years ago. They’ve been back twice (both in the 80s), but didn’t win. 

Meanwhile, here’s how the rest of the NFL has done in that span:

Team                      Appearances       Wins 
Patriots                        11                      6 
Steelers                         8                      6 
Broncos                        8                      3 
49ers                             7                      5 
Cowboys                      6                       4 
Giants                           5                       4 
Rams                            5                        1*
Raiders                         4                        3 
football team                4                        3

 Chargers                        1                        0

Wonky formatting. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Trump says he wanted Pence to overturn the 2020 election…

Trump says he wanted Pence to overturn the 2020 election and falsely claims it was vice president's 'right'

So essentially what he's saying is that whoever is in power an simply stay in power from here on out. Kinda like a dictatorship?

Does that mean elections no longer matter, and since Biden is our current president, he can just stay there forever?

Or does it only apply if you have an R next to your name?

So f’ing dumb

I saw a headline this morning to the effect of 'in response to the surf side tragedy, senate approves bill for state inspections'

In general, the legislation is a good idea. And maybe it's well written enough to do some good.

My issue has to with the fact that it took them 6 months to come up with something designed to actually protect citizens. But meanwhile, they could quickly and glibly cobble together a bill that forces twitter to allow 45 back on.

And, worse, they held a special legislative session to pass a law that school boards can't require masks.

Those were legislative priorities. But protecting citizens is not.

I got issues.
