Re: Ben Watson's view on race during the draft

Perhaps Watson is optimistic and thinks given time we will see progress.
If it’s that important then the 70% can team up with the Black upperclass and start a new league. I really don’t even care though bruh. Our community has so much more important **** to worry about then football. I wrote a long analysis about this on Facebook maybe 5 years ago. I had statistics and Harvard studies to back me up and those on the opposite side of the fence just don’t care.
If I could talk to Watson that’s simply what I’d tell him: if the people you’re trying to persuade really gave a **** you wouldn’t have to convince them. These owners don’t give a damn and non-Black fans don’t care either. It is what is. Rooney Rule didn’t do ****.
I'd like to read that post if you have it.
