First off, I like Woodfin. He's the best mayor Birmingham has had in a long time and has been a net positive for the city.
But come on man!
Would you like to know more?
But come on man!

He also addressed how it would affect sports programs at state universities:
“To the leadership, athletic directors and coaches at University of Alabama, Auburn University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham: Do you support this prohibition of diversity and inclusion?”
He also appealed to potential student-athletes and their families:
“To the parents of minority athletes who are helping their children decide if they want to play sports at those institutions: Would you be cool with your child playing at schools where diversity among staff is actively being discouraged?”

What does DEI have to do with collegiate sports? Seems like a nonsensical thing to say.

They are pushing DEI at every single college in America.

Woodfin is far from the best mayor Bham has had. I think he's an idiot.

He might be, but it’s a really low bar.
He needs to quit tweeting and start worrying more about the endless murders taking place.

Eh, as long as the murders happen in the right part of the city then he's doing his job as designed.
Woodfin's purpose is to let the community that is predominantly shooting one another be "seen and heard" but mostly just serving financial/real estate development interests in the city. Of course, said interests will likely squeeze more people in that community in the process and create more violence. But as long as it doesn't bleed over into Homewood or Mountain Brook then no one really cares. Just make sure they kill each other away from the upstanding, tax-paying citizens.

It's impossible to be a good mayor of Birmingham. There literally is nothing inside the city limits that inspires. Maybe a few downtown areas near the Civic Center and possibly some areas near Avondale are OK, but otherwise the city is just being drained by a huge number of low life government dependent people.

He tweeted how Birmingham was an accessible city, I tweeted back and took a picture of the sidewalk next to regions park where it was a gravel spot and my daughter’s chair could barely make it over it. It was just ignored. The dude ignores the fact they have an insane homicide rate constantly. He’s a shite mayor. Bottom line.

People think he's a good mayor because he's spending hand over fist and selling the city off to real estate developers. So you get new stadiums and sport events with a gentrified downtown but eventually the bill will come. He's just the right man to make sure his own ethnic community ends up being the bag holders one way or another.
It is Obama in microcosm. No president did so little to stop the greatest loss of African-American wealth than how Obama responded to the subprime mortgage crisis: bailout for the banks, not the homeowners.

This isnt the world I thought I was bringing my kids into

No mayor that urges good up and coming men from higher learning in their own state is a good mayor.
Needs to get the frick out and suck Klaus Schwab’s wrinkly old Jewish cock if he likes that idea so much.

What Bham needs is a Tommy Battle. That man has turned Huntsville into a boom town. Fiscal responsibility, great education, free enterprise, created good jobs in his tenure as mayor. I voted for him when he ran for governor and would do so again. Man has a great business mind and knows how to bring growth to a city and maintain it.

This clown needs to focus on the crime rate as one of the most violent cities in the united states, and not worry so much about diversity and equity. What an IDIOT!

No disrespect but I’d imagine if a kid got a football scholarship to the University of Alabama, the last thing his parents would care about is their DEI policy.

No one pays attention to anyone or anything in the city of Birmingdump.

Does DEI include diversity in the position of Birmingham mayor?

That’s fine. We’ll just combine to steer people away from Birmingham and towards the suburbs. Let’s see who blinks first.

Correct answer. As a whole, Birmingham (and Montgomery) are as good right now as they’re ever going to be. There’s no stopping the decline. There will be islands of nice, relatively safe areas but the chance to arrest the decline and restore them to past glory has passed.
In both cases, the suburbs have developed to the point that they’re largely self supporting now and thus people who can afford to flee do so, leaving a very high percentage of the population unwilling or unable to contribute to society. It’s what happens when you let crime run rampant and the public school system crater.
