Read this article below about how Black coaches aren't getting as many NFL head coaching jobs as others. Troy Vincent, who is the executive vice president of football operations for the NFL, spoke recently about the excuses he's heard about not hiring more black coaches. He made a list of all the excuses the NFL has given him as to why they do this, and here's a portion of the list:

• Never called plays
• Too many friends listed on potential coaching staff
• No previous game-clock management
• Unsure of their ability to motivate veteran players
• Didn't interview well
• Lacked the necessary experience to lead
• Didn't look the part
• Seemed nervous throughout the interview process
• Job is different than what it was previously

Vincent doesn't think these are valid reasons, as do I. Especially when you see stuff like "Didn't Look the Part" which makes absolutely no sense, and sounds more racist than anything else on the list. Is it a must that coaches look a certain way out there? We got fat ones, short ones, bald ones, fugly ones, and yet black men and women can't get a position because they may not look the part?

So dumb. NFL get your shit together.

On Wednesday, a U.S. district court judge ruled in favor of Braidwood Management Inc., a Christian-owned company that argued in its initial complaintthat the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that insurers and employers offer plans that cover PrEP for free “forces religious employers to provide coverage for drugs that facilitate and encourage homosexual behavior, prostitution, sexual promiscuity, and intravenous drug use Opinion | Why PrEP should be covered for free (especially in Texas)

Hello Faithful and diligent people.
This is Dr. E , and I bring great news. Remember saying and believing that one day , a change is gonna come? I rember one day after visiting the city of Los Angeles, that very song came to mind. The words stole my heart away, and caught my Soul, it was being sang too much. I believe in making things come true for persons dismayed so many years. Nothing was getting done. I decided to be that change,and do something for all sistas &brothas. You ll never hear that word again, and you will experience LOVE & change. The burden for you became light, and love came in change. You notice it. I'm glad that you and your black pride has been restored in change. You notice it in society. Never forget...your creator is in your image be proud of that and succeed. He loves you. Remember one person can make a difference. It has been very hard for to live with those words that hurt you. To find comfort we draw near to our creator no matter how bad it hurts. He'd love for you to meet his Son in conversation. He said all of you was all he thought about. He's o.k. now. He never forsook. He used me. That change has come. He has a lot to tell you. Draw to them both while he is near. He misses you
Amen Spend time in them.

Your brother in faith,

SERVANT You can now live.

We lack discipline, economic base is misguided ... That's why ppl feel like they can treat us any type of way ...

Fam, if you want some Asian food , we can cook it ourselves (Sriracha , and honey sauce, put it on some broccoli) ..

There was a restaurant that opened last year or something by a Brotha selling Asian food (I'm not sure how he's doing now, I visited once, and he wasn't there), and some in the community laughed at him for trying to sell Chinese food ... But, we need more of thinking like that ...

BTW, does anybody on here buy businesses ?

Imagine if they did an audit like this across the country..

I want to send a shoutout to those who were out there as boots on the ground for the month of September. We may not agree with everything or everyone, but I will allways agree with the people standing up for themselves.

Tina Bell | The Woman Who Invented Grunge

Tina Bell is the godmother of grunge. She formed the band Bam Bam with her then-husband Tommy Martin, Scott "Scotty Buttocks" Ledgerwood, and Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. But why is she so overlooked?

If you are curious how the husband of the female staffer found out she was having an affair with head coach Ime Udoka, we have the answer to that.

According to E! Kevin Frazier, the husband overheard a private conversation between his wife and Ime Udoke about the affairs.

She was talking in view of the RING doorbell camera, and the husband saw the footage.

I also find it interesting that the Celtics knew about the affair but still allowed this employee to help Nia Long with her move to Boston. Long did not find out about the affair until it was leaked by Woj and Shams

According to well-placed sources, even after the affair was discovered by the Celtics, the female staffer continued to work with Nia Long on her move to Boston. Nia did not learn about the affair until the disciplinary action by the franchise was made public.

Multiple sources confirm Celtics female staffer’s affair w/ Celtics Coach #ImeUdoka was uncovered by her husband when he overheard a private conversation on a home doorbell camera.

This report falls in line with a previous report that Nia Long had no idea what was happening, and the woman was helping Long’s move to Boston.

The Celtics employee with whom Ime Udoka had an affair helped make all his travel arrangements … and that job sometimes included organizing travel for his fiancee, Nia Long.

Sources connected to the couple and the NBA franchise tell TMZ … one of the staffer’s duties included planning Udoka’s team-related travel, and we’re told she was also involved in booking travel for Nia to come to Boston or to road games.

Perhaps most upsetting for Nia is that the employee had a hand in Nia’s arrangements to move to Boston permanently, according to our sources.
TMZ broke the story … Nia had just moved east a little over 2 weeks ago with Key, her 10-year-old son with Ime.
The Celtics are not releasing the name of the employee, but we’re told Nia has been told who she is.
