Why Josh Allen & Lamar Jackson are Dividing NFL Fans | Spolitics

Описание: Did you know that this year’s NFL MVP race has a surprising layer that might just involve race? Before some of you get upset and start tossing around terms like woke or DEI let Jemele break it down for you.

The MVP race is currently between Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. But here's where it gets interesting: one of the most common arguments being made for Allen winning the award is the idea that Lamar Jackson already has two MVPs under his belt, so it’s time to give it to someone else.

Now, that might sound familiar, but it's also a strange argument—one that’s been used before in sports to justify overlooking certain athletes.
