NFL reporter Jim Trotter asked Roger Goodell about diversity in the NFL newsroom and now he’s out of a job

[CrushedGroove]

Salute to breh. I don't think I'm asking that question to my boss in public though. I would have asked him that question but said the MLB.

He’s going to fukk around and get blacklisted from the NFL if he doesn’t watch it. His sources might end up completely cutting him off, but I’m guessing he’s prepared for that with how vocal he is about what happened.

Yeah, he's definitely playing with fire. He's out here airing out that NFL Media personnel are out here (allegedly) trying deconstruct his argument via backchannels. So there's not really a whole lot of room for error here. But brehs out here keep calling for some of these media personalities to stand on their principles when it comes to stuff like this. They got it, it just happened to come from one of the nicer, more laid back brehs in the field.

Trotter out here doubling down on the idea that he got let go because of him pressing leadership about diversity. Apparently he'll have more to say once he's officially fired on Friday.

Say it now(loud)..

He black & he proud

NFL killed the only successful non-documentary ESPN series ever, Playmakers, because it painted NFL in a bad light so this guy never stood a chance

Damn the whole point if the media is to challenge those in power. I hope the brother lands on his feet.

But as a commenter on the PFT article pointed it out, it's a fine line when your job is reporting on your employer.

Roger knows he has the power and if an owner told him "increase diversity ASAP" his ass would've made some hires happen.

Fall in line..........boys



Looking forward to bragging on the ratings of such a league this fall.

It's gonna be great.

As Kevin Samuels said, Roger was exercising his options.

The media that’s criticizing should be independent of the person/entity they’re criticizing.

Imagine writing the checks for the person crapping on you publicly. He can start a YouTube channel now and talk all he want. Maybe even apply for media credentials.

In some cases it is. Look at ESPN and the Dana White situation. They helped suppressed the story in order to protect their business partner and investment with him being the most visible face of UFC.

that was blatantly disgusting smdh

This is why I don't support that white supremacist sport. I rather watch college if need be.
