Way Beyond Football
An excerpt from the Undefeated -
For black fans in Baltimore, Lamar Jackson’s success ‘resonates way beyond football’
Black excellence, black love, a nappy ‘fro and an MVP-caliber season for the Ravens quarterback
BY LONNAE O'NEAL
For many black NFL fans who thrill to Jackson’s football smarts and physical gifts, the 22-year-old is more than just that dude who can lead the Ravens back to the Super Bowl. He’s part of a wave of 13 black starting quarterbacks who are not only changing the game on the field, but are expanding conceptions of leadership and affirming black excellence to themselves and the nation.
“It resonates way beyond football,” says Antonio “Rod” Womack, a real estate developer, human resources director and today’s host. Jackson’s success “might change the way CEOs decide who’s going to sit on the board.” The lesson here “is really about give us a true shot — without tying one arm behind us — and we can win at any level. At anything.”
