Summary

Yesterday the Houston Texans fired head coach David Culley. This makes Mike Tomlin of the Steelers as the league's only Black head coach. I talk about the constant messaging by the league such as end racism and inspire change....the league has fallen way short when it comes to Black coaches in the league. I read a list of all the Black head coaches since 2000 and talk about the negative reaction by so many. I then talk about the labor impasse with MLB and the Player's Union. What a disgrace! In this day and age and billionaires and millionaires can't figure out how to split up billions of dollars. Screw them is what i say! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
