It kind of annoys me when people make general statements about Goodell like your title does. Roger is doing his job. His walked into a shit situation and doesn’t know how to handle it. I will admit he’s an idiot and has handled things wrong, but I can’t picture anyone doing this perfectly right.

You have:

I guess my first question is, do we every really credit the people who do something first or do we credit the people do it the loudest or in the largest numbers first. Again I’m not claiming any research on the topic, just stating articles I read said that the Panthers did it. There might not be a directly…

My first question is, why is it simplistic? If they truly can trace the first large amount of Africanized names back to members of the panthers, wouldn’t it make it true? Just like how we can trace basketball back to James Naismith.

My second question is even if it is simplistic, why is it a bad thing? I didn’t…

The only argument you can make is what if a school doesn’t have rich alumni handing out free crap? How can they compete?

Football, basketball, Wrestling, and shockingly a ballet dancer in a school production once lol

That never happened! But the girls got money for sports and the guys didn’t because they won a battle of sexs competition once!

The problem is Title IX, which says if a government run business is doing something, it has to be fair and even. Not even just for women, but for anyone involved. So the question becomes how do you pay people at every school? Do you tell Tulsa and Toledo they have to pay everyone 2k a year and tell Bama the same…

They do know that if they actually finish their 4 years of college they get a degree which is the equivalent of about 70K or more depending on where you go to school right? Based on what I learned from the Broke 30 for 30, most nba players will need a job after sports anyways, so why not get a good paying one that…

Although I agree, I think it will be harder to remove the fans from using it.

The reason I started using Uber was I was in Savannah and I got a cab ride about 15 or 20 minutes from the hotel and the lady who dropped us off said heres my card call me and I’ll bring you back. so I did. 3 times. The first time she said she was on her way. The 2nd time she said she was stuck in traffic. The…

I love these people who are “Speaking on behalf of Uber”. Talk to any Uber driver and they will all glow about the company. The last one I had said if anyone throws up in his car he sends a picture to Uber and they send him $250 dollars to get it clean. Even if it costs less than $250. Name me another company that…

Yeah I didn’t mean that the panthers forced anyone or were the only ones to do this. I just mean they started the biggest accounts of this and once people around the country heard it, followed suite. The freedoms that African Americans had after the 60s and the back to Africa mindsets that people had in the 70s and…

I didn’t mean to say something as if the panthers held a gun to people’s head and asked them to change their name. I mean they were the first major group that decided this was ok to do, and it caught on. By no means can you talk about it in my opinion and not bring them into the conversation though.

Yeah a lot of the black Muslims that came about after Africans got free from colonization and converted back to Islam after the Christian Europeans left them alone got a lot of attention in Black America and caused a big wave of African American conversions to Islam.

How is it simplistic for me to tell you what I’ve read? I mean from what I’ve read, not that it’s the gospel, it says that the Black Panthers and their movements in the 60s and 70s brought the trend to America. I’m not saying they went to every hospital and changed the names of babies still in their cribs. I’m just…

He looked like a jai alai player the way his arm curved to launch the pass

I had an uber driver who couldn’t find my location, but refused to call or text me. So after five minutes of watching him drive around the area on my app I canceled the request. I was shocked to find that Uber charged me a 5 dollar fee for canceling 5 or 10 minutes (I forget the exact number) after ordering it. The…

As a history teacher I always read that the Black Panthers brought the Africanized name craze about in the late 60s and early 70s. The easiest way to notice is how everyone on Motown in the 60s had traditional European and American names like Marvin, Jimmy, and Dianna. I always think it’s interesting how fast and…

Calm down ESPN, it’s only been 1 game.

Who?
