The following letter was sent to the Denver Broncos and NFl Corporate offices.

Good day /Denver Broncos

There’s no real debate to be had, no real question about it: the National Football League is naively, ignorantly and recklessly funding, underwriting if not economically powering AM talk radio content, all across America.. There’s also no question about it the industry is undeniably Conservative if not more accurately Neo-Confederate “propaganda,” i.e., one-sided, tilted, sexist, racist, elitist, bigoted and bias talk-radio.

Let me make this simple and micro: I’m a starving wordsmith who’s pounding out my humble thoughts from the “Mile-Hi City,” home of the Denver Broncos, who’s official radio voice is that of I-Heart radio’s 850 KOA, a 50’000 watt “blowtorch” station which reaches 38 states, Mexico and Canada. Rush Limbaugh is the midday voice and Conservative-minded Trump backers fill the rest of the 24 hours in a day.

KOA’s local market monopoly is maintained in large part with the revenue derived directly from the advertising sponsorship aired during the Denver Broncos, Additionally the station’s prestigious business relationship enhances and solidifies KOA’s market stature and noteirity in the city/state/region - enabling the station to attract numerous advertisers. . . contributing to their bottom-line and profits.

In the finale analyst, KOA is in great part run on the blood, sweat and tears of Black athletes - ironically and insultingly the very same racial demographical sector of society the AM hate radio industry ridicules and scapegoats consistently and constantly. The Broncos, and numerous other teams in other NFL town’s have identical working relationships - where in the end, money-makers, the bronze goose who produce the golden pigskins, who attract the mega sponsors. Yes, the altra-pro Trump agenda around the clock is partially, if not argurably financed by the Black athlete - who the conservative talk show host vilify, degrade and belittle if not insult their race, their culture and their collectively liberal/Progressive political positions.

IHeartRadio also owns 630 KHOW which too is a megaphone for only Conservative/Republican/Trumpian viewpoints and opinions like Sean Hannity and Mark Levine. So, in a indirect but direct manner, Black ball players for the DEnver Broncos fund their hate speech also.

However, as significant and maybe even more impacting considering the racial polarization across the US is combining this 24/7 bias messaging with the strategic, deliberate exclusion of Liberal/Progressive voices, especially and particularly Afro and Latino-Americans. And please note, not coincidentally nor by happenstance is this void, this absence of opposing voices -no instead it’s desired. This reality banns and bars the vast overwhelming majority of voices, views, perspectives and observations held by all Americans, including Americans-of-color. IKOA/IHeartRadio doesn't employ in regularly scheduled Progressive/Liberal “Left”-minded African American, Latino, Asian nor Native American host. In prime time or anytime.

The NFL finances the silencing of Black opinion and dissent - be it the branding, barring and banning of Colin Kaepernick or the underwriting of AM Hate radio.

The result is a “rigged” radio market, with the obvious amplification of Conservative “propaganda.”

The description of talk radio as “fifty shades of angry white men” defines the present-day climate, feel, flavor and taste of AM talk radio in the state of Colorado. And crosss the nation. The sound is that of an angry, hostile industry which openly and defiantly refuses to incorporate a wide spectrum of host with diverse opinions to draw and cater-to the potentially diverse listening audience. Rather instead they chose to cater-to and focus upon Conservative demographic targets solely and only, by design.

It seems inclusion of racially/politically diverse opinions and observations is beyond the realm of consideration for Iheartradio,which is unwilling and unwanting to extend and broaden their target audience beyond Conservative listeners. It seems the the industry rather talk “about” Americans of color, talk “for” us, but yet not let us “speak for ourselves.” This is an obvious “suppression” of public expression, a desire to silence criticism and differing viewpoints.

In doing so KOA and most of the talk radio industry has strategically crafted the station’s message/programing to virtually, only “Conservative-minded individuals.” Their programming content has drove-away the Americans of color who fit the AM talk radio demographic target, who would listen-to and, perhaps most importantly purchase products and services advertised by sponsors - if only there was programming, i.e., host who set the tone and topic form a cultural/racial perspective they can relate-to and are attracted-to.

Talk radio in Denver, along the front Range, throughout the state and region if not all across the land sounds like a circa 1957 White Citizens Council meeting. It sounds as if the host and callers hold the same political/social and economical stands that the Ku Klux Klan supports and toutes - minus the overt racial vulgarities. There’s no question about it - Blacks and other Americans of color who play for the Broncos, Rockies and Buffaloes are being pimped by an station/business/industry comprised of angry white racist. They’re used to attract, organize, galvanized, motivate and mobilize only a certain segment of the demographic market White male “Conservatives.”

Talk radio has been red-lined: “No Blacks/Mexicans/Asians/Indians . . . or dogs allowed!”

Yes, undeniably and unquestionably the Broncos are enabling, enhancing, financing and amplifying “hate radio.” They too are assisting in the excluding of Americans of color from hosting shows, i.e., orchestrating and moderating the conversation, crafting the topics and issues addressed, while shaping the tone, feel, texture and flavor of the show. Making the show unwelcoming and hostile to opposing opinions and views ponts.

It is our hope there’s a realization on the NFL’s behalf regarding what type deplorable racist/sexist/elitist and exclusionary message you’re not merely tethered-to, but you too are enabling, enhancing, financing and amplifying. Adding Insult to disrespect is the labor of Black men is assisting a company which refuses-to offer the same mass-communication platform to the political opposition which speaks-for the vast-overwhelming majority of African Americans.

Hear us: Your business is assisting-in excluding and silencing bonafide political/social opposition and resistance.

It is our hope you reconsider your business relationship with radio stations across the nation which broadcast only conservative content until there’s a legitimate effort made to incorporate a much more “diverse” range of host who better and more accurately represent individual markets and America ona whole, It is also our hope that your refusal to finance and underwrite one-sided racist and exclusionary dialogue will influence smaller business which too fund smaller talk radio operations in the metropolitan market.

Lastly this communication will serve as documentation a legitimate effort was made via this public plea, you were asked to analyze and rethink your “blind commitment” to AM hate radio and retract your misplaced marketplace clout and influence until changes are made. If you choose to not recognize this plea, it’ll be taken to another level.

Thank You, good day . . . and Power To The People
