"This historic Week 11 crew is a testament to the countless and immeasurable contributions of Black officials to the game, their exemplary performance, and to the power of inclusion that is the hallmark of this great game," NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said.
The crew will be led by referee Jerome Boger and includes four members of his 2020 crew. Monday night's group will include umpire Barry Anderson, down judge Julian Mapp, line judge Carl Johnson, side judge Dale Shaw, field judge Anthony Jeffries and back judge Greg Steed.
The NFL typically assembles its 17 officiating crews prior to the season and works to keep them together for each game to promote cohesion and communication. It organized the crews by home geography this season because of the coronavirus pandemic, giving officials the option to drive rather than fly to games if desired.
Johnson, who lives in Louisiana, and Steed, who lives near Washington, D.C., were pulled from other crews.

I hope they blow a bunch of obvious calls just to spite this kind of thinking.

I wonder if the refs selected will feel like props for PR.

An added bonus for the NFL, you can't criticize the refs for this game because they black.

I thought they were pandering to the military this month? Is there not an all veteran crew they could have dragged out?

Finally. Some progress being made in the nfl.
Took them 10 weeks after putting “end racism” in the goalposts and the fruits of that hard labor have come now

So they are pulling black refs from across the country to work together, increasing their chances of contracting the deadly COVID virus. Seems pretty racist to me.

If I were one of these black refs chosen for this game I would politely decline. This is using the black refs as a token to appease some white guilt- has nothing to do with their merits.

How does one not feel like a prop when shite like this goes down?

How can black people not feel insulted by this?
Some NFL executive was in a room somewhere and he intentionally assembled an all black officiating crew solely so the NFL could tweet about it later and to try to winning woke brownie points.
White guilt leftists are the most racist people on the planet, they view blacks not so much as people but as props for their virtual signaling.

Wow, that’s extremely racist

One day, probably in the not too distant future, a person of color will be elected president. We are ending racism.

That’s not enough. I need some lgbt on the crew to satisfy my sjw feelings.

The same people who will call non-leftist blacks "tokens"...will praise this.

Imagine being the chosen token 
You're literally there because of your shade.
