From Fritz to Shell NFL Void of Black Coaches is Shameful By Kenneth Miller, Publisher
In less than two weeks Inglewood will host the Super Bowl when the Rams take on the Cincinnati Bengals for the championships of the NFL, but before that game unfolds the foul history of the league will be put on full blast for its inept disregard for hiring Black head coaches. Because the game will be played during Black History Month, the NFL will not be able the hide from its blatant unfair hiring practice of Black coaches which as of this article stands at one with Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin. I was in the room in 1989 when Al Davis made the groundbreaking hire of his offensive line coach Art Shell to become head coach of the then Los Angeles Raiders. My late mentor Brad Pye, Jr. was close friends with late Raiders owner Davis and while I am certain that he and his longtime confidant had some conversations about Shell, the hiring at the time came out of left field. Shell wasn’t even a coordinator, normally one of the prerequisites for becoming an NFL head coach, but he was a Raider through and through, a mild mannered man with an even temperament who if successful could have been a blue print for future head coaches of color. A decorated player who was a massive offensive lineman for the Silver and Black, Shell was a Hall of Fame offensive tackle who eventually became a two-time head coach of the Raiders in Los Angeles and Oakland. He became the first Black head coach during the modern era following in the legendary footsteps of Frederick Douglass “Fritz” Pollard who was the first Black head coach in the National Football League. Pollard wasn’t just the first Black coach, but he and Bobby Marshall were the first two Black players in the NFL in 1920. A member of both the NFL Hall of Fame and College Football Hall of Fame, Shell holds the distinction of becoming the second Black head coach in the history of professional football, and the first in the sport’s modern era, but if not for Al Davis likely would have never been hired. Shell compiled a record of 54 wins, 38 losses, and was named AFC Coach
of the Year in 1990, when the Raiders won the AFC West division with a 12–4 record, and advanced to the AFC championship game in the playoffs, thus becoming the first Black coach to lead the team to the Conference Championship game. Davis called firing Shell after a 9–7 season in 1994, a mistake and rehired him in 2006 when the team returned to Oakland, but fired him again after tumultuous 2-14 campaign in 2007. Shell would go on to land other NFL jobs such as coaching positions with the Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons, before serving as a senior vice president for the NFL, in charge of football operations.
However, today Shell is just a mere footnote in a league that is represented by 70 percent of Black players, but not a single Black owner. Its ownership group is a country club of billionaires distant from the social issues that plague American society and not deterred by systematic racism that has dominated our country for over 400 years now. This week when former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores courageously sued the NFL, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants and the Denver Broncos in a wide ranging class action case that challenges the foundational racism that permeates the league it peeled back the band aid on
an ugly wound the NFL has not done enough to heal. Al Davis was a maverick, but even when I asked him how he felt to be the man who hired the first Black coach during the modern era he was not embracing of the history. He shunned the question as if it was an insult. Art Shell was as safe a hire as Jackie Robinson. With Jackie Robinson it was Branch Rickey, Shell/ Davis. We don’t know just yet if Flores action will lead to any changes in NFL, but if it does he would become the first Black instrumental in land mark alterations in major sports.
Burke Resignation Opens Door for Robert Pullen-Miles IT News Wire
Autumn Burke, D-Inglewood, the state Assemblymember who represents the 62nd District, posted on social media that she has resigned her position effective Feb. 1. In a surprise announcement posted on Twitter and Facebook, Burke said after taking personal inventory, it was “of the utmost importance that I have the flexibility
and ability to spend more time with my family.” Burke’s resignation opens the door for her District Director, Lawndale Mayor Robert Pullen-Miles to fill her seat in the assembly during a special election. As District Director for Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, Pullen-Miles led the effort in delivering top quality constituent services by cutting red tape from state agencies such as EDD, helping constituents get access to their unemployment benefits. In addition, I successfully advocated and secured a $2 million
dollar grant from the state for street improvement projects for the City of Lawndale, and a $4 million dollar grant for the construction of a new Youth Development Center. “As your next Assemblymember, I will do for our district what I have already done as Mayor, and Councilmember: create good paying jobs, help small businesses recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, combating our homelessness crisis, and keep our communities safe. I look forward to earning your support,” Miles said in a statement.

Community Champions: Inglewood medalist from the Paralympic Games By Christine Devine
FOX 11 got a chance to speak with Inglewood’s own Jamal Hill. After the Super Bowl comes another big sports chapter for Los Angeles, the Olympics and Paralympics in 2028. Jamal Hill is a star athlete from Inglewood who already medaled in last summer’s Paralympic Games in Tokyo. There’s beauty in his stroke, but it’s his speed that got Hill a bronze medal in the 50-meter freestyle. At the same time, he set the American record. Hill trains at The Boys and Girls Club of Pasadena under coach Wilma Wong of the Swim Up Hill Victors. It was she who noticed that this lifelong swimmer was getting in and out of the pool in a way that suggest a disability was at play. Hill had been training for the Olympics and hiding a childhood diagnosis of neuropathy, an inherited disorder that causes nerve damage, weakness, pain
and a loss of circulation. Just a few short years later, this 6-foot4 chiseled athlete would represent Team USA at the Paralympic Games and take home a medal. Hill says he is now working on a documentary with Angel City Sports. That non-profit is the power behind LA’s paralympic movement and sports for people with physical disabilities, like wheelchair basketball..
Angel City Sports was named a Super Bowl Legacy Champion by LA’s Super Bowl Host Committee. Each week in Community Champions, FOX 11 will showcase another grant recipient leading up to Super Bowl 2022 in Los Angeles.

Rams’ postseason run aided by one-time role players
By Stu Jackson, The Rams
No one can deny the impact new additions like quarterback Matthew Stafford, outside linebacker Von Miller and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. have had on the Rams’ current playoff run. However, the emergence of one-time role players seizing new opportunities shouldn’t go unnoticed, either. Alongside Stafford’s game-winning drives, Miller’s pressure on the opposing quarterback and Beckham’s production, players like safety Nick Scott, tight end Kendall Blanton, linebacker Travin Howard have also stepped up to power the Rams’ push to Super Bowl LVI. “It’s huge,” Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Jan. 24, the day after the Rams’ Divisional Round win over the Buccaneers. “It’s a real credit to these players. The depth of all the 48 guy guys that we have up and active on game day. Really, our coaches’ ability to develop, but also (Rams general manager) Les (Snead) and his group, their ability to identify these guys that you want to be able to work with, that you want to be able to coach. There’s a lot of people that play a huge role in that. Ultimately the players go out, they deliver, (I am) so happy for those guys to have that kind of success.” That success has been noticeable in every round of the playoffs so far. In the Wild Card Round against
the Cardinals, Scott – a seventh-round pick in 2019 who has primarily been a special teams contributor – delivered a big hit to separate Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green from the ball, resulting in an incompletion that kept them backed up deep into their own territory. The next play, Rams linebacker Troy Reeder – an undrafted free agent signee in 2019 – pressured Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray into an errant throw that was intercepted by cornerback David Long Jr. and returned three yards for a touchdown in an eventual 34-11 Rams win. “I have a lot of fun making those plays, but I would say one of the things I take away most from that, other than I feel like honoring God with putting my talents on display, is just helping my teammates out, and being looked at as a guy for my teammates that can contribute, and somebody that they can trust to make plays to put us in positions to be successful,” Scott said on Jan. 24. “Trust is everything in this game, it’s everything on the field, so anytime you have an opportunity to build that trust and add to it, you want to take that wholeheartedly.”
In the Divisional Round against the Buccaneers, Scott intercepted Tom Brady, while Blanton – an undrafted free agent signee in 2019 – caught his first touchdown of his NFL career. Blanton’s touchdown grab gave the Rams an early 10-0 lead in an eventual 30-27 victory. Blanton followed that up with five catches for 57 yards – including a key 8-yard grab for a conversion on 3rd and 1 on the game-winning drive – in a 2017 NFC Championship victory over the 49ers. It was a big performance that helped alleviate tight end Tyler Higbee exiting the game with an MCL sprain. On the other side of the ball, Howard – a seventh-round pick in 2018 – corralled a tipped Jimmy Garoppolo pass for the
game-sealing interception. “I hoped for a chance and I got one,” Blanton said on Jan. 24. “Just like every other person, whether you’re drafted or not, I feel like we all just want a chance and an opportunity. So I always hoped that I would get one and that I would make big plays on the biggest of stages.” That trio’s previous roles may have not led to much recognition externally, but internally, their Rams teammates have long known the value they bring. “They names to us, though,” Rams defensive back Jalen Ramsey said after the NFC Championship. “They bigtime players for us. We got all the faith in them.”

Catering to mostly Black women, business owner Damon Haley says Glow + Flow serves the backbone of this community. KABC.Com
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- SoFi Stadium’s Super Bowl transformation won’t happen overnight, but if you ask those working to make it all happen by deadline, it kind of feels like it. The committee started working on a plan months ago and was recently implemented, but the team couldn’t really build it out until after the NFC Championship game.Around the stadium, business owner Damon Haley describes the anticipation as magical. “There’s just so much energy in the city,” said Haley of Glow + Flow Beauty Supply in Inglewood. He opened the store in November 2019. Four months later, he was forced
to adjust due to the COVID-19 pandemic and hasn’t stopped adjusting since. “The lines outside and social distancing inside ... We had to invest in all of those things to stay open,” said
Super Bowl Could Be Economic Boon for Inglewood By CBSLA Staff
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Economic experts say Super Bowl LVI could bring in hundreds of millions of to Los Angeles County, with a large chunk of that going to businesses in Inglewood. It’s not actually the big game that has Ron McCan excited, it’s the prospect of new customers to his restaurant, Big Daddy’s Kickin Chicken, just a few blocks from Sofi Stadium. The restaurant opened just before the pandemic as a take-out operation only. McCan said sometimes he gets forgotten. “Most of the people go down Manchester Boulevard and they miss our restaurant here,” McCan told CBSLA Monday. Analysts said having the Super Bowl
in Inglewood is the victory. “The Super Bowl is definitely the granddaddy of the world events,” said Roy Weinstein, who wrote the economic impact report for the L.A. Sports and Entertainment Commission. “We receive both immediate and long term benefits,” Weinstein said. According to Weinstein, the Super Bowl will bring in about 150,000 visitors who will spend on average $350 a night on hotels, and $300 a day on other expenses. “In addition to hotels and restaurants, they go shopping, they enjoy Southern California,” Weinstein said. In all, the Super Bowl is expected to bring in upwards of $477 million in revenue to L.A. County, with $52 million going to business in Inglewood, Weinstein said.

Black History Month Opens with More than a Dozen Bomb Threats at HBCUs Inglewood Today News
More than a dozen historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats on Tuesday, February 1. The threats, the second such in two days, arrived on the first day of Black History Month. Howard University in Washington, D.C., again found itself the target of such ominous threats. The school issued a shelter-inplace order on Tuesday. “A bomb threat against the university is being investigated,” read a 3:29 a.m. alert from Howard University. “All persons on campus are advised to shelter in place until more information is available.” The school later issued an allclear.
