The Super Bowl LIV television production is criticized for being sparse and failing to highlight Patrick Mahomes as a black quarterback. Mahomes is described as racially ambiguous compared to Lamar Jackson, despite both being identified as ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery). The NFL's corporate consciousness is noted for how it scripts the narratives of its most valuable players based on their perceived blackness.
Ray Lewis claimed the Baltimore Ravens were prepared to sign Colin Kaepernick until his girlfriend, Nessa Diab, posted a controversial tweet. The tweet compared Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and Lewis to the slave master and house slave characters from the film Django Unchained. This social media post effectively ended contract negotiations, leading the Ravens to eventually draft Lamar Jackson instead.
