[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 5029758, member: 48469"] I think Roger Goodell should go too. It was only 4 months ago that this was a thing. [HEADING=2][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.insider.com/nfl-ends-policy-black-players-lower-cognitive-function-2021-6[/URL][/HEADING] "The NFL agreed to stop using the practice [of] "race-norming," which assumed Black players have a lower cognitive function than white counterparts, according to Maryclaire Dale of the [URL='https://apnews.com/article/pa-state-wire-race-and-ethnicity-health-nfl-sports-205b304c0c3724532d74fc54e58b4d1d']Associated Press[/URL]. "Race-norming" has prevented some retired Black players from qualifying for compensation in the NFL's $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims. In the original settlement, the NFL used a scoring algorithm for dementia testing that assumed Black men start with lower cognitive skills before the injury. Black retirees would have had to score much lower than whites to qualify for a piece of the settlement." [/QUOTE]
