NFL News and Notes 10/23

1) Race Norming

The NFL, whose virtue signals all the time about diversity, has been busted yet again for being the exact opposite. Race Norming follows revelations that the previous testing system was based on a formula that assumed black players have a lower level of cognitive function. This “race-norming” made it harder for black players to prove they suffered from injuries linked to their careers. Since the 1990s, the NFL has declared that African-American athletes are inherently dumber than their white counterparts. This is the same NFL that fired Jon Gruden over emails, so you may ask what the NFL will do in this case. Will what the NFL did was get rid of race norming, while at the same time putting in the agreement that there would be no finding that they are to blame for it! So once again, the NFL, which is a good ole boys network, will get off scot-free again.

2) Deshaun Watson to Miami?

Please leave it to the Miami Dolphins to take a bad situation and make it worse. Rumors are flying that Deshaun Watson could be traded soon to the Miami Dolphins. Number one, Watson has not played all year. Number 2, we don’t know what will happen in the future with the Sexual assault allegations that have been leveled against the star quarterback. Number 3, the Dolphins would have to give up a lot to get him. Number 4 Watson would be a huge distraction. Brian Flores has given quarterback Tua Tagovailoa a vote of confidence, so maybe the rumors are not valid. But I think it’s safe to assume where there is smoke; there is fire. The Dolphins organization was set up two years ago to become a contender quickly with all of the draft capital they had obtained, but they blew that by screwing up on most of those picks. So, in the end, I do not think a trade to the Dolphins will happen.
