How the fuck?

the NFL has insisted on using a scoring algorithm on the dementia testing that assumes Black men start with lower cognitive skills. They must therefore score much lower than whites to show enough mental decline to win an award. The practice, which went unnoticed until 2018, has made it harder for Black former players to get awards. wrote:

...and a civil rights lawsuit about it was thrown out 2 months ago. Da fuq is going on here?

I guess as a white guy I should understand this. Ya know. With my awesome cognitive skills.

Even by the NFL's standards, this is pretty fucked up.

I agree, with my umm...............because I..............you know........................

Wait, what are we talking about?

That's fucked up!

Maybe by going public the NFL is trying to win back some of the non "son-of-a-bitch" crowd.

Is this real life?

Jesus Christ I'm as white as they come and just the other day I couldn't figure out the name of the guy that was in Good Will Hunting along side Ben Affleck, Saving Private Ryan, and the Jason Bourne movies.

Idris Elba, dummy.

Jesus. You’ve got to be kidding.

Insane. It’s always been obvious that nfl owners are mostly racist old white guys, but this underscores the problem. And where were the journalists who should’ve been promoting this story a few years ago?

Risk losing out on that sweet sweet TV revenue.

I'm not sure what to say. I mean there are average IQ scores (which I struggle with), but this is highly speculative and plain wrong.

That can't be real... No one in their right mind would have signed off on something like this... Let alone think this way.

REMINDER TO ALL: Anyone can sue for anything, doesn't mean it's true and doesn't mean they will win.

Seems like ProPublica or Axios could’ve gone after it. It’s not like it was a secret deal. Paula was too busy with MSU

This isn’t speculation or someone fishing for a fountain of wealth. The documents exist and have been around for awhile, but as the article said, only became known in 2018. That’s why I wondered why it’s taken so long for the info to spread.
