Art Monk Hall of Fame Spotlight: Debunking the Arguments Against His Induction 🏈

This is a video put together to promote Art Monk's entry into the football hall of fame. Art Monk retired as the NFL's all-time receiving leader despite playing in the pre-pass-happy era of today. It was expected he would be a first ballot hall of famer at the time. Sadly, due to a flawed system and bias against soft spoken players he was not only passed by five years later but for waited another ten years before getting inducted. Monk never complained himself but a barrage of pressure from his peers and the public over the years finally forced some sports writers to change their votes (though some of them have said they did it only to stop the deluge of criticism they face every year). This video is great but there are tons of sites that list all of Monk's accomplishments and compare them to other wide receivers in the hall of fame. Until Jerry Rice was inducted, Monk had more receptions than anyone in the Hall of Famer.

I didn't put the video together, I found it on YouTube years ago but it was taken down by the uploader after Monk was finally inducted. I thought someone may want to see it again. I enjoy watching it now and then.
