1. Black Bodies White Power
I also was a former football player from the time of my youth in elementary School playing Pop Warner football up until my senior year in high school.
2. Concussion Country
The NFL this year has been Roth with players that have had concussions. Tua Tungaloa of the Miami dolphins is one of those players.
3. Turf wars
Many of the players have complained about playing on turf and not natural grass when it comes down to playing football.
Black Facts ✊🏿
Did you know?
191 men have served as NFL head coaches, but only 24 (about 13 percent) have been African American. And the numbers are lower today than they were several years ago.
Let’s Take Em To Church
Now I'm not saying that we need to ban professional football college sports etc. Although I have my beef with college sports that I'll talk about in another episode (lol). I love watching football especially the NFL players. I played football in my entire youth and it gives me a connection to the sport that I can no longer receive as a former player. But I believe that players outside of just a contract should be compensated in other ways for putting their bodies on the line. If an NFL player has played in the NFL for two full seasons they should automatically receive compensation for the rest of their lives.
