you also see it in the language as well

you never hear about a black coach being an x and o's or intelligent
its just "players love playing for him" or he's a good motivator.

if a black offensive coordinator is great its oh the coach is prob calling the plays


It’s so ingrained they don’t even realize it.

NFL made that call about lovie
The NFL organization has no influence there. The Texans owner probably decided to do this because of their prior actions, the fact that they team ain't gonna do much regardless, and the Flores lawsuit.

The Saints are also probably gonna hire a black coach.

@Pack2 spent a lot of energy saying I was wrong about :mjpls: driving behind Eli getting built around as a result of sports radio john from Totowa and their front office due to the mere presence of a black qb.

The long tail of racism always hurts those involved and erodes. Look at the state of the Giants as a result of trying to put tape around the Geno starting one game mistake, using David Webb as an out as if the cism should have existed in the first place.

I will never waiver from that shyt. It will always show resurface elsewhere.

That entire debacle was utterly ridiculous

One of these days I need you to start an HBCU football thread. I need to adopt a school. I listened to Hue on the pivot podcast and started looking up Grambling gear.

I think @staticshock has one or at least makes a thread once a year

used to make one every year but I just decided to make the 2020 thread the official one

Official Coli HBCU sports thread

@calh45 fukk Grambling..we’ll welcome you to the nest at Alabama State :blessed:

Lovie Smith getting hired feels like such an obvious set up. You can't possibly argue he's the most qualified or best choice - and certainly not better than more relevant black options like Bowles, Fraizer, and Leftwich. Yet Houston is clearly setting him up just like their last coach. Lovie gonna get two years and get bounced, just watch.

I'd say that BUT he was their defensive coordinator last year so he's familiar with the team

Still, I agree that he's not who they actually wanted. They're just playing the legal game.

That logo is fly. That arena is fly. That field is fly. I'm gonna actually pay attention during the season and pick a squad, but they're on the list now.

I need to get some of their gear too.

the two Division 1 HBCU conferences are the MEAC & SWAC

MEAC- Norfolk, North Carolina Central, Coppin State, South Carolina State, Howard, Maryland-Eastern Shore, Morgan State, Delaware State

SWAC- Alabama State, Alabama A&M, FAMU, Bethune Cookman, Jackson State, Mississippi Valley, Southern, Texas Southern, Grambling, Alcorn, Prairie View, & Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

MEAC always been heavy on basketball & academics..SWAC all about football & bands. We talk shyt to each other but we support each other when others try to talk down.

The SWAC-MEAC Classic is in Atlanta every year but you’ll see folks from every HBCU repping their schools :blessed:

The SWAC was supposed to have a battle of the bands in LA this month but it got canceled. That would exposed a lot of west coast folks to HBCUs who wouldn’t normally get the chance to see them. Hopefully they can reschedule it
