The 70s were a weird time. The combo of leaded gas, disco and polyester derailed many an endocrine system.
Interestingly, Cosell was one of the the first to be cancelled and deplatformed by The Mob for calling a play like he (and all the sports ball fans watching) saw it. A darkie caught a pass and juked, shucked and jived down the field. "That little monkey gets loose, doesn't he?" So it goes.
Ahhh, Monday Night Football. Dandy Don Meredith and Frank Gifford
Good times. When you'd still see White men as football players kicking black ass up and down the field. Smartest and best players were the White players.
A very different game. Making good plays didn't mean dancing and jiving every time.
