Cecelia Lewis, a Black educator, was asked to apply for a Georgia school district’s first-ever administrator job devoted to diversity, equity and inclusion.

“I think this era of player just doesn’t love football” by Kirk Herbstreit this morning is a typical old guard insult.
A new generation gains knowledge and power, and as a result the old guard questions its heart.
I think this era of analyst just doesn’t love football players.
Chris Olave may have been a first-round pick last year, but he came back to Ohio State for another run at a title. Imagine questioning whether he loves football because he opted out of the Rose Bowl.
