Lamar Jackson explains on LeBron James’ YouTube show that black quarterbacks still face racial bias in the NFL, and need to prove themselves more.

Munich – Does he have it harder than others? Lamar Jackson, playmaker for the Baltimore Ravens, has stated in an interview that black quarterbacks are judged more critically in the NFL.

The 25-year-old raised the issue during an appearance on LeBron James’ YouTube show The Shop, which made its season premiere on Friday.

As the discussion turned to racial bias against black quarterbacks, host James said, “It’s dying, but it’s still there.”

Jackson’s response was unequivocal in the aftermath. “It’s still there. That’s why I need an NFL title. “

This is what Lamar Jackson can learn from LeBron

The two also agreed on another point. Thus, the Lakers pro stated that he feels disrespected when he is not included in the discussion about the best scorers in NBA history.

A thought the Ravens star can relate to, as critics had once accused him of being “not a real quarterback”.

When asked what he hopes to learn from the basketball superstar, Jackson had a very specific answer: “Everything. And how to be a champion. I think that’s the only thing I want to take from him, if anything. Being a champion and being a billionaire. I’ve been thinking about that since I was a little kid, being a billionaire and being a champion. “
