I mean besides the fact that I wish HBO wasnât moving forward with this project, and besides the fact that heâs way too traditionally handsome, I think that this is a prime example of how changing the races of certain characters Just Because needlessly complicates the narrative.

The condition of Philly public schools cannot be dependent on whether the Eagles quarterback is a good person or not
Jalen Hurts has been donating $5,000 for every TD this season to provide air conditioning in Philadelphia public schools.
With his four TDs against Dallas, he reached the $100,000 milestone.
At the start of the school year, there were still 63 additional schools requiring upgrades to prevent sending students home early. An additional $200K will allow Hurts to help improve conditions at those schools.
