ESPN Promotes NAACP’s Call For Black Athletes To 'Reconsider' Florida Schools Because of DEI

The NAACP believes African-American athletes cannot thrive without the help of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) programs. DEI states that minorities require a forced institutional boost to thrive in America, robbing minorities of any individual merit by attributing their worth to skin color.

Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis took a strong stance against DEI, legislating measures to eliminate DEI's progressive playbook of giving unwarranted opportunities to people based on their race. 

The move by DeSantis was seen as a big win. However, the NAACP disagreed with DeSantis' position and warned black college athletes to ‘reconsider’ attending schools in Florida; a ridiculous call to action.

NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson supported DEI's position in Florida colleges. 

Johnson sent a letter to NCAA president Charlie Baker, asking Baker to back DEI against Ron DeSantis' initiatives to diminish its influence on Florida's college athletes. The NAACP and its president called for black athletes to rethink their offers from Florida institutions to send a message to DeSantis, proving merit doesn't matter to DEI.

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 28:  Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP, speaks about a lawsuit filed against the Federal Government concerning the threat that the 2020 Census will undercount members of the African American community and other minorities across the nation, at the National Press Club on March 28, 2018 in Washington, DC. A government study found that the 2010 Census resulted in an undercount of 2.1 percent of African Americans and 1.5 percent of Hispanic Americans.  (Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty Images)
