fritz pollard

A question answered: what didn’t Fritz Pollard accomplish? Not only did Pollard fight racial prejudice during his life but was a great football player in the Ohio League and helped pioneer what would become the National Football League. Pollard’s intelligence, winning personality, and all-around skill made him a Hall of Famer and the NFL’s first black coach. More than an athlete, he excelled organizing barnstorming teams, booking great black entertainers, starting a coal heating company, and launching a newspaper.

Fritz Pollard had bigoted teammates rip his uniform and he stayed up late at night to fix it.  I need to read more about this extraordinary man.
I agree with Max Scherzer that MLB needs to do prorated contracts for the players.  And Scott Boras you're right.  Can't play the games without the players.
Damian Lillard excited for play in games as opposed to group play.  Players love competition especially when there is a potential playoff spot.
