re: #333 Timothy Watson

Al Davis could be an ass at times, but his support for civil rights was touching.

Indeed. And as a Steelers fan, I can’t help but to think of the recently deceased Chuck Noll who along with Bill Nunn scouted small African American schools for talent and also gave African Americans like Tony Dungy coaching jobs in a time where black coaches were unheard of. I became a huge admirer of Lombardi’s when I learned about him staunchly defending a black player of his who was getting some shit because he was married to or dated a white woman. And even more groundbreaking was that he stood up for gay players too.
