NFL cancels a 2025 diversity program 3 months after Roger Goodell said policies would be 'consistent' from Biden to Trum

From the New Orleans locker room during Super Bowl week, Roger Goodell was steadfast. Despite the change in presidential administration and the political voices weighing in loudly on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the NFL would not change.

“We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League,” the NFL commissioner said, “and we're going to continue those efforts because we've not only convinced ourselves, I think we've proven ourselves that it does make the NFL better …

“We see how it's benefited the National Football League, and so I think we'll continue those efforts.”

On at least one front, they are not.

The NFL and other sports are diverse. Fuck Donald Trump with a red-hot poker.
