I was thinking about writing an article today regarding the NFL and after reading some of these articles on face book, I decided that this article would help me to write my article.Is it not interesting that those who have defined the meaning of words have used the word BLACK to mean something bad. I was listening to sports talk and they were talking about Black Monday which is basically the day after the season has ended in the NFL. This is the day where coaches and other staff will be fired from football teams of course most of them end up finding another job but the point is...what it is called. Why do it have to be Black Monday? It is called Black because people will be fired and there is no good in being fired. Of course as I see it, they could have easily called it WHITE MONDAY that since the majority of those to be hired to replace those that are fired will be WHITE. I am sure that for many of us this will not mean anything, we will continue watching and my point is not to ask us to not watch...the point is how Black is used to describe bad. See the Native Indians decided well many of them that it was not fitting for the Washington Football Team to use the term REDSKINS because it was offensive and racist. I am sure that there are many unseen racist realities that we face everyday but just out of curiosity would it not be good to know the reason as to why this is called BLACK MONDAY? I hope that this has enough interest to get some responses.
