The problem is that the science is emphatic. Mean Black IQ is about 1.1 standard deviations below the Caucasian mean. This is measure of central tendency for aggregates, not specific individuals, and everyone deserves equal civil rights regardless of IQ. Given that IQ scaling has an overall mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, this means (no lame pun intended) that mean Black IQ is about 83. Mean Caucasian IQ is 100, Asian about 105-107 (variation in different countries). This data reflects innate genetic differences in IQ of different races. I don't like these results, but they are hard science, which the liberal demonization like cultural bias cannot explain (tests have been given in every nation on Earth for over a century with same results EVERY time).

Science can be a harsh mistress. You don't always like the results. In this case, there isn't some big bad racist conspiracy, but rather a scientific attempt to help determine the cognitive decline players suffer from playing in the NFL. Without adjusting for race differences in IQ, this is impossible. When you assume higher IQs than actually exist for Blacks, to satisfy a pre-existing political philosophy, thereby ignoring basic science, you prevent identification of cognitive harm to black players. On the one hand, you don't want any NFL player not to receive help for the obvious and scientifically documented brain injury the sport causes, on the other hand, maybe people who ignore such obvious science, acting like 16th century mystics, deserve what they ask for. . .

Why not just burn me at the stake?

Welcome to the new America.

Yeah, just censor any post you don't like and can't refute!

Pitiful.

I don't want anyone censored, especially views I detest the most.

You want me censored because you can't refute the scientific data presented.

Homey don't play that.

LOL. "I've been told to shut up on a football board, WE CANNOT SAY ANYTHING ANYMORE".
We have the same here, they want to be able to say anything, but if someone strongly disagrees and calls them out it's censorship.
(And no, I am not going to waste time deconstructing racist thought nor teach about social science on a football board, I come here for fun, I can turn French TV on for that kinda shit).

I will bite. A well done troll job. You want to see my response look in the debating with the enemy thread. I am not going to politicize the football threads my apologies everyone for my OP taking it down this rabbit hole.

To be honest I’ve never heard of the practice until this past week, but obviously this isn’t right.

Neurologists aren't Klansmen. You have to accurately measure cognitive decline to help people. Doing so without taking racial variations in IQ into account is impossible. If mean Black IQ is 83, but we assume it is 100, and then measure it as 83 or anything close, then EVERY African American qualifies for the monetary compensation. This is of course the whole point of the absurdity. You might argue every player should qualify, and I would agree, but that was not the settlement as negotiated. You can bet your ass that the blacks paid money won't use the bogus non-normed cognitive data when receiving treatment from neurologists.

I don't ever make political posts first, but I will not stand mute while reverse racism is dressed in the sheep's clothing of equality. The superficial appearance of things PR wise often differs dramatically from science.

Aw shit here we go.

Julio traded to Titans…pending per ESPN. Wow

For a 2nd a 4th.

Like it for both.

Nice boost to the Titans offense but they still have a weak defense so I am not sure if Jones will help them win more games.

Yeah I was really surprised how their defense seem to take a step back last year. But added Julio with the prime years of brown, tannehill and the best RB in the league makes a lot of sense.

Horrible trade. Kind of trade we used to make. We got a long-term starting T for what Titans traded for a 32-year old WR past his prime and starting to slow down and have health issues.

Nah, we’d have thrown a first in too. I am glad to see we aren’t trading for older guys and are being judicious with the older players we bring in and their contracts.
