Sunday Read: Analyzing the progress in the treatment of Black Olympians from the early 1900s is essential for understanding their historical journey. Examination of past adversities reveals the racial discrimination these athletes faced upon returning home, despite their international acclaim. The Paris Olympics serve as a testament to progress, underscoring unity and celebrating athletic excellence irrespective of race. Although challenges persist, we have made substantial strides, and our athletes now compete with the respect they rightfully deserve. #leadership #progress #OlympicHistory #parisolympics #SportsEquality #DiversityInSports #Trailblazers #AthleticAchievements #OlympicLegacy #FromStruggleToSuccess #InspiringJourneys #ChampionStories #SportsInclusion #CulturalImpact #HistoricalMilestones #CelebratingDiversity ##EquityInSports #OlympicHeroes #Americanhistory #AfricanAmericanhistory #history #sportshistory #olympichistory

Football is a family of team sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball to score a goal. Unqualified, the word football normally means the form of football that is the most popular where the word is used. Sports commonly called football include association football (known as soccer in Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United States, and sometimes in Ireland and New Zealand); Australian rules football; Gaelic football; gridiron football (specifically American football, Arena football, or Canadian football); International rules football; rugby league football; and rugby union football.[1] These various forms of football share, to varying degrees, common origins and are known as There are a number of references to traditional, ancient, or prehistoric ball games played in many different parts of the world.[2][3][4] Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools during the 19th century, itself an outgrowth of medieval football.[5][6] The expansion and cultural power of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of British influence outside the directly controlled Empire.[7] By the end of the 19th century, distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic football, for example, deliberately incorporated the rules of local traditional football games in order to maintain their heritage.[8] In 1888, the Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional football associations.

Why Aren't People Praising DEI by Highlighting Hires like Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and Gabby Thomas? Eboo Patel's recent USA Today article on DEI and the Olympics (https://lnkd.in/g7QvhWqd), spotlighting athletes like Simone Biles and Suni Lee, offers insights that resonate beyond sports. It emphasizes DEI as more than a concept—it's a unifying force that brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds to achieve excellence. This is particularly relevant for Black religious organizations, especially in the relationships they build with their vendors, suppliers, and partners. At Nonprofit Fundraising Management (NFM), we believe DEI should be a foundational principle in all aspects of an organization's operations, not just within the congregation but also in the external partnerships that sustain the organization. Just as the U.S. Olympic teams draw strength from their diverse identities, Black religious organizations can push for DEI advocacy with their vendors. Supporting DEI with vendors—whether banks, suppliers, or service providers—is a powerful way for Black religious organizations to extend their influence and commitment to social justice. By partnering with vendors who prioritize DEI, religious organizations can drive systemic change beyond their walls. How Black Religious Organizations Can Advocate for DEI with Vendors: Evaluate Vendor DEI Practices: When selecting service providers, inquire about their DEI policies. Partner with those committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Promote DEI Standards: Work with current vendors to adopt DEI standards, including diverse hiring practices, equitable pay, and inclusive work environments. Collaborate for Change: Engage vendors in supporting DEI initiatives within the broader community through joint projects or financial support. Hold Vendors Accountable: Include DEI in vendor agreements, ensuring it's a requirement for maintaining a partnership. By taking these steps, Black religious organizations can play a crucial role in promoting DEI beyond their immediate influence. Just as the Olympics demonstrate the strength that comes from embracing diversity, these organizations can help build a more equitable and inclusive society by advocating for DEI with their vendors. In doing so, they enhance their operations and set a powerful example for others to follow. Let's take inspiration from the U.S. Olympic teams and apply those lessons to our vendor relationships. By pushing for DEI advocacy, we can create a ripple effect that benefits everyone, paving the way for a more just and inclusive future.

This excellent piece from John Dodge below ⬇ is congruent with how we understand #Irishness on Irish Stew. Many people have multiple geographic identities; co-host Martin Nutty was born in #Dublin to an #Irish father and #English mother and has lived in #NYC for over 40 years. Is he Irish? - Yes, Is he #British - Yes. Is he #American - Yes All of the above ⬆ are NOT mutually exclusive. Our political world is troubled by a trend towards ugly binaryism. It is most pronounced by those who focus on skin color, an ugly legacy of Western hemispheric slavery, and its turgid spawn - racism. Those who spout such retrograde nonsense rarely have any understanding of history or their own ancestral past, which might be far more diverse than they care to believe. Being Irish is not simply a matter of DNA, nativity, the ability to speak #Gaeilge, or residency on the island. If all those things were required, the Irish world would shrink dramatically. At Irish Stew, we believe in big-tent #Irishness and that a more inclusive understanding of what it means to be Irish would better serve Ireland and its vast diaspora. Modern Irishness is an idea that binds Irish people together who share a deep affection for their home island. It is based on a respectful egalitarian view of the individual without regard for race or creed but is collectively rooted in fidelity to the country's governing law. Those who would impose some spurious bright line test must be reminded that Patrick Pearse's DNA was half English, Tom Clarke was born in southern England, and James Connolly spoke with a pronounced Scottish accent. Nobody thinks of any of these men as anything other than Irish. #GlobalIrishNation #BlackAndIrish https://lnkd.in/eympSCyv
