4 Lessons the NFL Could Learn from ABC
Following Roseanne Barr’s obscenely offensive comments about former Obama Senior Advisor, Valerie Jarrett, ABC took immediate and decisive action to demonstrate that her words describing an accomplished Black woman as an ape did not reflect the networks values. The network’s cancellation of its highest rate show - a move that prioritized integrity and a commitment to decency over money, ratings, and even political expediency - surprised many. The NFL, as it faces continual media and public scrutiny, could stand to take a knee and learn a lesson from ABC.
Together We Rise
No one person rises to the top alone. Someone or something pushes us physically or mentally to go beyond what we imagined for ourselves so they can flourish in a place we never thought we would be.

In celebration of Black History Month, we honor that hand on our back, that word in our ear, that support in our darkest hour.
