Let’s go! History maker Mellody Hobson!

The Broncos just increased their overall viewership, the team could have more SNF games next year!

Truly a moment to rejoice as the issue of lack of minorities at the ownership level and the coaching level have been issues the NFL has been dealing with for a long time.

Well, at least he does not hate the league as much anymore?

She truly did it the right way and that is what makes it more historic and impressive.

This is indeed a positive change as the issue of the treatment of minorities by the NFL has haunted the league for decades. A woman at an ownership position is something that is new but a black woman is something that is definitely noteworthy!
