The NY Jets, representing the AFL won the "first" Super Bowl. The next year, the Kansas City Chiefs made the SUper Bowl. Buck Buchanan was there and so was Otis Taylor a wide receiver from Prarie View A&M The story goes that the Cowboys wanted to draft Taylor so bad...

That they put armed guards outside Taylor's door. So Judge Wells gets Eddie Robinson to find the address they're keeping Taylor. He drives down, but they won't let him in. They've literally kidnapped Taylor. Wells parks outside and screams that Robinson knows he's there'e

Taylor climbs out of the window and signs with KC. In the 3rd quarter, KC's leading 13-7 when Taylor catches a 46-yard pass and strolls down the sideline. He's crying. No one knows why. He's already the AFC champ. The Super Bowl isn't really a big thing yet.

But the players know. See, that wasn't the first super bowl. It wasn't the biggest. But the KC Chiefs was one of the first in ANY LEAGUE or ANY era who started a majority Black team They said they wanted to beat "the white boys," or, as writers more politely put it...

"They were proud of their diversity" Now, the AFL didn't hire UNQUALIFIED Black players, they just just gave Black players the opportunity to succeeed because they WERE AWARE OF the NFL's PAST RACISM

But if you ask ANY of the previous NFL champions, even though they only played against white boys on teams that enforced quotas, they'd tell you they won on MERIT. In reality, they won bc of white affirmative action AND here's what happened

After pro football's FIRST real Black team trounced the white boys on National TV, the NFL merged with the AFL. And that's why the Super Bowl is actually a DEI project. Happy Black History Month!

Much of the opposition to DEI is based on the premise that a Black person with any measure of power or authority will automatically treat white people like white people with power have historically treated Black people.

Angel Reese, the No. 7 overall pick in the draft, leads all rookies in rebounds, steals and double-doubles. She had her sixth consecutive double-double and seventh overall Sunday. Could she be the WNBA's top rookie? trib.al/Wqtt5EK

"I have so much more to grow, and I'm just excited to be in this league." Angel Reese was all smiles after becoming the first rookie to record at least seven straight double-doubles 👑

This is why “Make America Great Again” is so insulting. It wasn’t great, for a lot of folks, for a long time. The country moved forward. Stop trying to drag us back.
