Social NFL assumes black athletes started off dumber, and must show greater cognitive decline than whites

Stop making so much sense, this is a woke circlejerk thread.

That shit makes sense?

So, the NFL has a $1 Billion pot it uses to pay out ex-players who can show they've suffered effects of CTE and concussion-induced dementia along with other brain decline diagnoses.

Turns out tho, in the NFL's formula for payouts, they assume black athletes are dumber to begin with. And so they need to be more mentally declined than whites to get a settlement.

But hey, they let them play the black national anthem before a game last year so the NFL can't be racist right? And if anything they're anti-white woke trash that's getting canceled by fans, and an ex-president and VP, who want them to stand for the flag above all else.

Under the settlement, however, the NFL has insisted on using a scoring algorithm on the dementia testing that assumes Black men start with lower cognitive skills. They must therefore score much lower than whites to show enough mental decline to win an award. The practice, which went unnoticed until 2018, has made it harder for Black former players to get awards.

“Because every Black retired NFL player has to perform lower on the test to qualify for an award than every white player. And that’s essentially systematic racism in determining these payouts,” said Katherine Possin, a neurology professor at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center.

In other major settlements, including those tied to the the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Boston Marathon bombing, all claimants were treated the same.

The NFL have made their bed.

Lets see them shit in it.

Can anyone explain to me what it is the NFLPA actually does for the players?

Pays men millions of dollars to play a sport they love, which happens to involve crashing headlong into other alpha men, then they bitch about the effects years after they spend that money on hookers, blow and an entourage?

ive got no comment on this crap. but it makes me think of the Wunderlic test they all take in their combine - there are some scores out of he NFL that are hard to believe. Y’all should take the online version and look into average scores by position and also by other vocations who use it. Kinda shocking.

Doesn’t sound that different than all the woke changes to testing and academic standards. This is the current progressive viewpoint.

Truth! The left has always viewed blacks as inferior and in need of special treatment and want to keep it that way. Lefties have a lot invested in keeping black people struggling.

I'm starting to think the NFL might not be as woke as they pretend to be. I wonder if the other multi-billion dollar corporations are like this...

money brings out peoples true colors.
