Freethinker
Hall of Famer
I enjoyed reading it as well and I wish him the best. However it’s infuriating to see a guy with 4.38 speed and no DI team was willing to have him. For arguments sake, I’ll assume he wasn’t a great student but we know damn well that a black in a similar situation would have been given every accommodation at multiple top programs. The Caste System filters out plenty of White athletes with similar speed and a 4.0 GPA so it’s really easy to railroad a guy like this. Whites have to be nearly perfect athletically and academically, while ideally having some former pro athlete connection, and then maybe they’ll get a shot......(preaching to the choir)What a great article. It made my day that he still has a chance to live out his dream. This kid deserves to make the practice squad at the very least. Hungry as can be and will do anything to win!
