The first all-Black NFL officiating crew to work an NFL game poses for a picture before the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Rams at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fl., on Nov 23, 2020.TAMPA, Fla. —
When the NFL announced the crew was being assembled last week, league executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent hailed the move “a testament to the countless and immeasurable contributions of Black officials to the game, their exemplary performance, and to the power of inclusion that is the hallmark of this great game.”
The members of the crew have a combined 89 seasons of NFL experience and have worked six Super Bowls.
I still keep wondering why we should consider this historic!?! Are we not all equal before God!?!🇺🇸❤🙏

That’s great news! Now when does Colin Kaepernick get a shot at a job in the NFL?
The good thing we already know they’re better than white referees because well...referees.
