With the Super Bowl a day away, a contest that will see the Los Angeles Rams square off against the Cincinnati Bengals, millions of Americans will tune in to watch this star-studded event.
However, like everything throughout American society the NFL has become thoroughly politicized.
As a result of this politicization, the NFL has started changing several of its testing policies. The NFL employs several tests such as a bench press test (where players bench press 225 pounds for as many repetitions as possible) and the 40-yard (to measure straight line speed).
The Wonderlic test is another test used by the NFL in order to assess prospective players. The Wonderlic is notable in how it is used to measure individuals’ cognitive capacity and problem-solving abilities.
However, in early January the NFL announced that it would stop using the Wonderlic test.
Detractors of the Wonderlic test believe the test is ineffective at predicting future success in the league. However, the main beef many pundits have with it is how black prospects receive the lowest scores on the test.
The Wonderlic tests intelligence and uses a scale of 1-50. Per a 2012 study published in the Journal of Sports Economics, black NFL draft picks averaged a score of 19.76, whereas white draft picks averaged 27.7. The disparate results angered many pundits.
For example, Sports Illustrated criticized the Wonderlic test back in 2017 for being full of “cultural and racial biases.” Sports writer Stephanic Mack made the case in 2020 that the test is “discriminatory” and pointed to racial disparities to demonstrate this.
As Robert Hampton of American Renaissance noted, “The NFL was one of many sports leagues that promoted Black Lives Matter after George Floyd’s death.”Even into the current season, the NFL continued its pro-BLM propaganda. Hampton added that the NFL “makes stadiums stencil ‘End Racism’ in one of their end zones. Maybe it will make them stencil ‘IQ is a Myth’ in the other one.”
Indeed, there are uncomfortable truths about intelligence differences between certain ethnic groups and races. There’s tons of human biodiversity and there’s nothing wrong with that. Certain people will possess distinct traits, aptitudes, and skills that separate themselves from other populaces. This is simply a matter of biology and no ideological grand-standing will erase this fact.
Overall, the NFL is just another institution that’s become thoroughly infected by wokism. It’s no exaggeration to say that no American institution is safe from this leftist mind virus. Liberty conservatives will have to get creative in finding ways to stop wokism in its tracks. Because if we don’t, our entire culture will be devoured by radical leftism.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander: scrap any timed running events for prospective players. Reason: Blacks are consistently faster than whites. It's a racist test.
