    I find this article illuminating on a topic that is near and dear to my heart–Disability insurance. However, the entire article puts me off in a way that made it hard to finish the article, to wit:

    PLEASE stop publishing any articles that capitalize Blacks and not whites. Either it is black and white, or Black and White. This is needless racism that is just not necessary. It is WOKE, and we don’t need it. Stop trying to appease a segment of the population that is calling attention to a stupid cultural war that should not, nor ever have existed. This article is trying, correctly I might add, to a stupid, never necessary testing element that changes test results based on racial lines. If a black player scores a touchdown, it is six points, period. If a white player kicks a field goal, the NFL does NOT give him four points because he is white, it is three points, period. Let’s level the ENTIRE FIELD, now and forever.

    Sorry, but the woke culture is just getting out of hand.

      Your comment seems to contradict with the article. You argue for leveling the entire playing field and giving everyone the same score regardless of color, but then you argue this change is WOKE and unnecessary.

      Did you miss the part of the article where the NFL admitted “…on using a scoring algorithm on the dementia testing that assumes Black men start with lower cognitive skills”

      So do you want a level playing field for all races and the NFL to change their cognitive scoring system, or do you think this is just another woke unnecessary change? Can’t be both…..

    At least usual corporatespeak has been stripped away and the players have an unfiltered statement about what their employers actually think of them. It wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a strike.
