TIME Magazine Celebrates Two Black Quarterbacks to Start in Super Bowl

The media on the left just won’t stop. 

America has fought for equal rights for centuries.  The Civil War was ultimately the fight over slavery.  The Democrats in the South wanted to keep their slaves and fought to do so.  The GOP and their first President, Abraham Lincoln, freed the slaves.

On This Day in US History — Republicans Freed the Slaves

The Democrats didn’t appreciate their slaves being free and for decades threatened and killed blacks in the south.

The work of the past was to bring this country together.  All races and colors and religions were to be free in this country.  But some people still want to point out race in everything.

These same people push BLM and ignore the massive destruction and death behind this movement.  They want Americans segregated based on race.  They push Critical Race Theory in schools denigrating the white race and encouraging white students to apologize for being of this race.

This is racism.

Today TIME magazine points out that the two starting QBs in the Super Bowl are black.  Twenty years ago no one would have said such a thing because we were Americans of all races but not today.  Today this has to be pointed out.

TIME shares the following:

When Doug Williams—the first Black quarterback to win a Super Bowl—saw the Kansas City Chiefs win the AFC Championship game two weeks ago, he grew emotional. “Tears didn’t come down my eyes,” Williams tells TIME. “But they were in my eyes.” Williams, who led Washington to a 42-10 Super Bowl victory over Denver in 1988, knew that for the first time in NFL history, two Black quarterbacks would be starting in the title game. Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs superstar and just the third Black quarterback in history to win the Super Bowl, after Williams and Russell Wilson in 2014, would be back for his third Super Bowl appearance in four years (his Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in 2020). Earlier on that championship Sunday, Jan. 29, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts—who’s in his third year in the NFL—propelled the Eagles past San Francisco to secure his first Super Bowl trip.

Williams, now a senior advisor to the president of the Washington Commanders, was the Super Bowl XXII MVP: he finished with 340 passing yards and four touchdown passes. The presence of two Black starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl for the first time reminded him of past injustices faced by Black quarterbacks and gave him hope for a more equitable future. “We have been denied over the years,” says Williams from Phoenix, where he’s in town for Sunday’s big game at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. “I don’t care what anybody says, there’s one word that’s key to this whole thing, and it’s opportunity.”

That opportunity to set up behind center, to become the face of a franchise and perhaps the entire NFL, once eluded Black players. Coaches at all levels slotted Black quarterback prospects into other positions, like wide receiver or defensive back. “I think about all the rich history in this game, and to be part of such an historic event, historic moment, it’s special,” said Hurts on Monday. Mahomes also used the word “historic.” “So many people laid the foundation before us,” he said, “and to be playing with a guy like Jalen, who I know is doing it the right way, it’s going to be a special moment that I hope lives on forever.”

Maybe Americans are tired of being shamed for the actions of corrupt racist Democrats living in the past.   Maybe we just want to watch football and admire the athleticism of all the athletes.
