Do you remember in The Lion King when scar told the hyenas if they helped him become king he will make their lives better and then their lives didn’t get better and he blamed them for it.
And upon realizing this, the hyenas ate him.
Do with that story what you will.
Chicago Bears Rep. vs The NFL
The Chicago Bears B.D.L is prepared to launch an investigation and lawsuit vs the NFL on the grounds of the NFL’s failure to abide to federal law Employment Discrimination under Title VII or Section 1981.
We understand that Rooney rule is a company policy, but the lack of compliance by the NFL further supports discriminatory practices found throughout the league. Such as the Brian Flores case and many others.
The Chicago Bears currently meet all of the qualifications of the JC-2a Rooney Rule that was modified to include draft compensation towards teams that develop minority candidates towards their promotion elsewhere in the league as Head coach or executive.
Since Ian Cunningham was promoted from assistant to General manager for the Atlanta Falcons, the NFL owes draft compensation towards the Chicago Bears.
But the NFL and Rodger Goodell have refused to abide by their diversity policies. On what grounds is the precedent being set on?
The Chicago Bears are a family owned organization that have truly lived up to the NFL’s diversity policies willingly.
The Chicago Bears is one of the original football teams that has been around since the genesis of the NFL.
The Chicago Bears are not involved in any illegal activities that may forfeit draft picks such as tampering or Epstein allegations. Though we find it odd that teams involved in those cases still maintain all of their draft capital.
Thus, our team of lawyers want to understand on what ground did the NFL break its own diversity policies? Why are the Chicago Bears losing their draft compensation?
Falcons executives and team President Matt Ryan has stated multiple times that Ian Cunningham is in charge of football decisions and operations.
We demand answers @NFL@NFLPA@DOJCivil
The NFL should be a representation of people from all backgrounds uniting towards a common cause.
It saddens me that we need policies such as the Rooney rule to maintain equality and equity.
But it’s even more devastating when the NFL doesn’t follow through on their own policies and principles that they market to the world.
The public deserves full transparency on the matter, but we are willing to hear what the NFL has to say privately.
At the end of the day, actions speak louder than words.
Give Chicago Bears their draft compensation that they have earned. Their staff and organization is a model representation of what diversity looks like within the NFL.
The Bears were loud in the right places (public media settings with maximum visibility at the combine) regarding how they felt wronged by the NFL’s decision to not award comp picks for Ian Cunningham’s departure. It goes against the spirit of what the Rooney Rule is supposed to be about (promoting minority advancement in coaching and front office positions). The NFL was adamant in January that it wasn’t something that could be appealed but the Bears tried anyways. Can’t fault them for their attempt, but fall out from this should lead to a real conversation about the rule in the first place and how poorly this reflects back on the league.
I think one of the reasons the right-wing Christian Nationalists are coming out so hard against James Talarico is that they know his version of Christianity looks a whole lot more like Jesus than theirs does and they know people are catching on.
BREAKING: MAGA in full meltdown mode over this Super Bowl ad 😡
It would be a shame if you shared it and it went Viral 💙💙💙
Drop a 💙 for the bravery of Epstein survivors!
I grew up Republican. Still am in many ways. But MAGA pushed the party so far right that I get called a liberal now.
Let me explain the difference:
Traditional Republicans believe in:
• Fiscal responsibility (balanced budgets, not exploding deficits for tax cuts)
• Limited government (actual small government, not big government that punishes your enemies)
• Strong institutions (courts, elections, constitutional norms matter)
• Personal responsibility (your actions have consequences)
• Free markets (not tariffs and trade wars)
• Strong alliances (NATO, international partnerships)
• Rule of law (no one is above it, including the president)
MAGA Republicans believe in:
• Whatever Trump says today (even if it contradicts yesterday)
• Loyalty tests (agree 100% or you're a traitor/RINO)
• Conspiracy theories over facts (stolen election, deep state, QAnon adjacent stuff)
• Grievance politics (owning the libs > actual policy)
• Personality cult (Trump loyalty above party, above country, above truth)
• Performative outrage (culture war theater instead of governance)
• Ends justify means (storm the Capitol, ignore election results, whatever it takes)
I didn't move left. The party moved off a cliff.
I still believe in conservative principles. But when you say "maybe we should respect election results" or "fiscal responsibility matters" or "rule of law applies to everyone," you get called a liberal.
That's not conservatism. That's a cult.
