NFL Argues Black Players Have Lower ‘Cognitive Skills’ Than Whites, Deserve Less Compensation For Brain Injuries

This really is racist and outrageous (if true). We are seeing the results of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. The word racist has become meaningless.

[cgbg]

try applying the same principle to college admissions, government jobs, etc.

Yup--the lefties have turned racism into an art form.

It is hilarious (and pathetic) that the "woke" NFL has gone there.

I had to come back and check after commenting earlier. Thus HAS to be fake.

“Why is this an issue? There’s what, 9 non black players in the NFL?”

Yea, but all of them are Road Scholers.

[Repeal 16-17]

While former and current NFL players who suffer from dementia or other brain injuries are entitled to compensation from the NFL if their injuries were sustained while competing in the league, the NFL also argues that it is correct to assume that black players have lower “cognitive skills” on average, and this should be taken into consideration when awarding compensation.

The spirit of Jimmy The Greek lives!

[Zuriel]

There are plenty of smart black folk; mostly the God-fearing ones. Athletics is not, imo, a gold mine for great intellect; regardless of race.

But blacks didn’t help their race many years ago by killing some of their smarter folk in Tinbuktu, and destroying much of their library.

[ifinnegan]

This isn’t real.

[Mark]

So everyone who gets a life insurance policy, using similar stats COULD charge more for a block person than others?

[Mark]

Not block, black !

[GnuThere]

The first thing I did was look at the byline!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This is similar to how we got the subprime loan crisis:

If you don’t give a loan to a black person who doesn’t qualify for the loan, you are a racist.

If you do give a loan to a black person who doesn’t qualify for the loan, you are a predatory lender.

See how that works?

[GreyFriar]

Every one knows that all jocks, regardless of race/ethnicity have lower cognitive skills. (sarcasm)

[Beagle8U]

How very Woke of them./sarc

[redgolum]

Should be based off of baseline decline.

My late father did similar tests, and that is how they judged him

[Beagle8U]

“the NFL also argues that it is correct to assume that black players have lower “cognitive skills” on average, and this should be taken into consideration when awarding compensation.”

The NFL wonders out loud if they had ever been hurt at all?

[kanawa]

Smells like bovine excrement.

[kjam22]

I think you gotta go on a case by case basis. Make all players take a IQ test upon entering the league. Develop a settlement structure for brain damage based on IQ…. Not race

[hellinahandcart]

Heavens to Betsy. This cannot be real. This isn’t something one argues.

On the other hand, if it’s true, who cares? First they pissed off the white people, now they pissed off the black people. Get in line behind me to complain.

[Flick Lives]

Figures. The NFL is publicly woke, but privately racist, where it’s to their financial interest.

[NetAddicted]

WTF?
