Yall know what today is so it's only right I give you all a fun fact about the NFL.....
Fritz Pollard stands out as a significant figure in American football history. He was one of the first African American players in the National Football League (NFL) and became the first African American to coach in the NFL in the early 1920s. Pollard broke color barriers at a time when segregation was widespread in the United States. His skill and determination on the field, along with his leadership as a coach, paved the way for generations of African American athletes in professional football. Pollard's legacy is not just as a pioneering athlete and coach but also as a trailblazer who fought for racial equality in sports and beyond. His contributions are recognized in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, where he was inducted in 2005, celebrating his monumental impact on the game and its history.
