But if you want to learn about how racist the game of football is (not enough black coaches or GMs, etc.) or how the George Floyd was "murder" helped blacks gain professionally in the sport of football, then this is a book for you. It's mostly about how poorly blacks have been treated in society overall. And especially in the NFL. I couldn't even finish the last third of the book. What a joke.
