Join us today for a Google Hangout at 12:15 p.m. today discussing the “State of Black Athletes in the NFL.” As we continue down the road to Super Bowl 50, tune in as we discuss the Cam Newton clapback, the double standard facing black coaches, and why the slow response to the CTE controversy? Would it be different if the racial composition of the league players were different?

Guests who will be joining the Google Hangout today at noon are as follows:

Max Beaulieu, former football player at Syracuse University and sports agent at Avant Garde Management Group.

Cassius Butts, Board Member of Professional Sports Lives Magazine and sports blogger

Coach Bobby Jackson, former football student-athlete at Northwestern University of the Big Ten Conference. He has spent over 18 years as a strength & conditioning coach for various high school and college programs training and mentoring athletes on the amateur, collegiate, and professional level.
