Personally, I can't wait for the Super Bowl. It always sucks when we realize there is no football for several months. Thank goodness for March Madness, although the amount of Black coaches compared to Black players probably sends some of you into a tailspin. Life is certainly difficult, and we all cope the best we can. I rest easier at night knowing these "student athletes" at least get a free or subsidized education that sets them apart as a member in the upper echelon of world-wide educational privilege.

If Black players want to spend the trillions of dollars they have earned from the sports teams to buy those same teams, they are free to do so. I'm sure they saved enough. MJ certainly did.

OP should make some signs and protest somewhere. Don't forget to get a whistle so people can really hear you. [/quote]

While there is some disparity in Basketball, as one might expect, as well as other sports as well, the NFL really continues to be an outlier in this regard:

And the critical difference is the now known adverse impact on long term brain health due to the repeated sub-concussive hits that are at the very core of the game of football.

The value of the college scholarships are peanuts when measured against the "value" that the institutions receive on the backs of the of all athletes, regardless of race and are only really meaningful if they offer a clause allowing the athlete to return later to complete their studies since many cannot due to the demands and rigor of the sports that they are obligated to play.

The good news here is that they now can benefit from their NIL due new state laws and an NCAA policy change
