Goodell really bad at picking equity voices

-

IT SEEMS Roger Goodell, an incurable panderer to what leaves us all lower and lower, remains blindly and deafly attracted to the most vulgar, hateful, crotch-grabbing and women-objectifyi­ng rappers as the best representa­tives of the NFL’s social and entertainm­ent initiative­s and values.

On June 30, the NFL named Ice Cube to lead its “economic equity” plan to stimulate the NFL’s business with black-owned business.

Ice Cube, real name O’Shea Jackson, is a member of the Contract With Black America Institute, which supports reparation­s and affirmativ­e action.

He’s also a racial hatemonger and devotee of proud, loud anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. Ice Cube has rapped and spoken virulently anti-Jewish, anti-white and anti-Asian words, even advocating violence against them.

A sampler: In his early “songs” he referenced a Jewish music producer as “a white Jew” and a “cracker,” adding, “Get rid of that devil real simple. Put a bullet in his temple.” He has characteri­zed an

Asian shopkeeper as “little Chinese mother-f---er.”

As recently as 2020 Ice Cube posted anti-Semitic social media hatred while praising Farrakhan as his guiding light. How did the NFL miss this? Or is it that it didn’t look or didn’t choose to know?

Why would such a misanthrop­e even be considered for such a position?

But he’s just the guy for Goodell.

We well know by now that Goodell is a selective devotee of the corrosive double standard — a runfor-cover coward, buttressed by an equally frightened and cowardly news and sports media — as witnessed by Goodell’s silent indulgence of receiver DeSean Jackson after he circulated wildly reckless pro-Hitler messages pertaining to Jews as fed to him by the lunatic Farrakhan.

Jackson’s team at the time, the Eagles, eventually condemned Jackson’s hatefilled ignorance. The NFL? Still hasn’t been heard on the two-year-old matter, thus it’s reasonable to believe that we never will. Jackson just played on, no shame, no foul.

Same with the NFL’s growing crime problem, specifical­ly players illegally packing guns. Goodell keeps pretending we can’t see what we can’t miss.

Yet, in Ice Cube, Goodell has found his latest embraceabl­e malicious and malignant antisocial recording “artist” and activist to serve as an NFL justicefor-all front and business partner. How fast can the NFL, under Goodell, keep running backwards?
