the sport is disproportionately Black, and the broadcasters who get hired are disproportionately white

Does he want both groups to match the racial makeup of the country? I'm not understanding how he gets to decide what is or isnt the correct racial makeup for any of these groups of people. For starters if he really wants to be fair and inclusive, he should be arguing for more Asian and Hispanic players and announcers. If he's arguing there should just be more black announcers because they're already over represented in players, then he's just incredibly racist.

Or we could just pick the best players, coaches, announcers, etc regardless of race.

Disproportionate to what?


I think he's suggesting that because the NFL majority black players everything else associated with the league should reflect that as well.

But couldn't one also say that the NFL is disproportionately black and therefore needs to be experience some of that diversity and equity I hear so much about?

How many Jewish NFL players are there? How many white cornerbacks are there?

It would only be a valid point if we knew that there was some large group of black former players trying to become color analysts and being denied simply because they're black.

We already know that the argument doesn't hold up when you consider studio analysts.

Everyone who is paying attention knows that when a leftist says diversity they really mean "no white males, and especially no white christian males"

Do you have an example, that has occurred anywhere on the planet, where diversity was encouraged in a situation that would have benefited white people, or increased the number of white people in that space?

Perhaps there have been cries for this type of thing in China, or the Middle East somewhere? Maybe in Africa? Where they're all "hey, we're mostly Arab/Black/Indian...we need some diversity and white people"

(Wait, you mean, no? That's never happened?)

His ESPN radio show was a dumpster fire. It got more political and more militant. He's a virus

Gotta give him this - he is consistent. It's also why he's banished to forums nobody frequents.

Yeah. Colonialism added diversity to areas that were previously all African, Asian, and Indigenous American…

And who do you think it made rich? Certainly not the natives

So the natives weren't in favor of the diversity being forced on them?

I was really asking for an example of a non-white society asking for or welcoming diversity and for their majority demographics to be decreased, and your example is diversity being forced on a population. I already know diversity has been forced on unwilling people. Is there an example of a non-white society asking for diversity, particularly wanting more white people?

He thinks they are better athletes and at least as good or better analysts and broadcasters. And coaches.

It’s basically a tacit argument for black supremacy

Dan is an ultra-woke, ultra-liberal leftist until you mention Castro and Cuba. Then he turns into Joe McCarthy.
