honoring the legacy of bill russell, we have to be very honest about who supported him, and who didn t. we don t want to lose ourselves and nostalgia, donald trump, trump supporters, the conservative right, they wouldn t have wrapped their arms around bill russell in their heyday, just as they wouldn t have supported muhammad ali, jon carlos, or tommy smith, or kareem abdul-jabbar, these are the people who don t support the modern-day activists like kaepernick and lebron. they are exactly who we thought they were. they will actually cast kaepernick s been disrespectful to the veterans, for taking a knee, but they will applaud the senate republicans who thought to vote to help veterans exposed to toxic burns. again, i don t expect donald trump and his following to be anything other than exactly who we know than to be. kavitha, what impact do you think this will have if any on britney griner s case in roger

lost. in statements earlier this week, the nfl and all three times involved in the suit have denied flores s allegations. the dolphins and broncos calling them defamatory and the giants labeling them disturbing and simply false. joining me now is kavitha davidson, sports writer and coauthor of loving sports when they don t love you back. thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. let s talk about the coach openings. you got nine head coach openings in the nfl this postseason. so far, six of them, kavitha, are filled, none of which have been filled by black coaches. clearly, this rooney rule is not working. so when the nfl says it, in fact, is working to become more inclusive, what do the numbers actually tell you in your reporting? the numbers are actually very interesting. in the immediacy after the
position experience and who have existed within these coaching trees, who have not been given the opportunities to actually show what they re worth as a head coach. the other issue there that brian flores does get to in this lawsuit is the shorter leash that black head coaches do have once they are actually able to make it to that position. he had two winning seasons, and was, you know, given the yank essentially for what he describes as being characterized as being difficult to work with, but it seems that what he s saying is that he was just not toeing the company line when you bring up the stephen ross allegations as well. kavitha davidson, for now, because this thing is going to continue, thank you. coming up, everybody, on politics nation, brian flores himself speaks with my colleague, the reverend al sharpton. it is a conversation you will not want to miss. that is on politics nation starting at 5:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc. coming up in our next hour,
still some work to do and of course always looking at those inflation rates, obviously, as we tick towards the interest rate increase that we re going to be seeing in the spring. amara, thank you. great to talk to you. coming up, everybody, the nfl under fire again, reactions to the lawsuit making big waves in the league and around the country. kavitha davidson joins me live to break it all down. in the leae country. kavitha davidson joins me live kavitha davidson joins me live to break it all down we discover exciting new technologies. redefine who we are and how we want to lead our lives. basically, choose what we want oure to look like. so what s yours going to be? i just heard something amazing! one medication is approved to treat and prevent migraines.
