WASHINGTON, D.C. -- How long have we been hearing about the NFL's great desire for diversity and inclusiveness in management and off-field employment opportunities?
At this point, they sound like your no-good cousin who sits around during every family bar-b-q saying, "You know what I'm going to do?....", pontificating on grandiose life changes and business plans, simply to spend the entire time between the next get-together doing diddly-squat, while hitting you up every few months asking, "Lemme hold a few dollars until I get things in order."
I'm happy to hear that the league that has long-denied the overwhelming medical evidence about brain concussions, brain injuries and suicides has struck up partnerships with the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in order to provide opportunities for non-playing careers in the NFL.
But at this point, and please excuse my pessimism, I'm ready to tell the NFL what everybody wants to tell that manipulative loser of a cousin. "Ummmm, hell, no! I'm tired of your berlshit. You gets nothing here, partner. Get to steppin'!"
I'm happy that some athletic trainers, communications specialists, video directors, equipment managers and administrators will get a few internships, but I ain't buying that this is some great effort to diversity hiring efforts by the almighty, benevolent NFL.
