Olympic Athlete Jesse Owens was the first African American athlete to be featured on the Wheaties cereal box. During the 1936 Berlin Olympic games, Owens won four gold medals in track-and-field events. His world record long jump of 26.4 feet would stand for 25 years following the Olympics. In 1934, the breakfast cereal Wheaties began the practice of including pictures of athletes on its packaging to coincide with its slogan, "The Breakfast of Champions." In its original form, athletes were depicted on the sides or back of the cereal box, though in 1958 Wheaties began placing the pictures on the front of the box. The tradition has included hundreds of athletes from many different sports, and also team depictions. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com

A.J. Francis says Redskins' logo 'racist' after he joins Giants Defensive tackle  A.J. Francis  found a new job just days after being released by the  Washington Redskins  and celebrated the moment by ripping his old team on Instagram, including calling out their "racist" logo. Francis signed with the  New York Giants  on Wednesday. He was one of three defensive tackles released by the Redskins on Monday after they selected two defensive tackles in the draft.

Everyone of those motherfuckers on that couch owe this world a fucking apology for this racism shit! They already tried to claim that shit long ago, Sheree, as you know. Nobody bought into it then because the social media wasn’t there and racism wasn’t all that real. You know it.”
