Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he still has something to prove being a Black quarterback in the NFL.
Jackson addressed the issue during an appearance on LeBron James' YouTube interview show "The Shop," which had its season premiere Friday.
When the discussion turned to how there has been a historical bias against Black quarterbacks, James said, "It's dying off, but it's still there."
Jackson responded, "It's still there. That's why I need that championship."
During the show, James talked about how he feels disrespected when not being included in discussions about the best scorers in NBA history.
