@DataRepublican @CynicalPublius I reached out to request an interview -- I reached out to @TheShawnHendrix, who is your media rep? (I can't message you here directly because I'm not verified) I explained the story that I was doing and offered a chance to respond. Shawn said you had stopped all media interviews.

The NFL and CBS have failed to live up to the standards of equity, diversity, and inclusion they claim to value.

[The Daily Moth @thedailymoth]

It won’t change as long as the NAD is in bed with the NFL and the founder of Love Sign, Alexis Kashar.
