Ken Riley belongs in the Hall of Fame. Period.

We’re just a few days from the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2021 to be revealed.

But the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a lie.

Its mission: To Honor Heroes of the Game; To Preserve its History; To Promote its Values; and To Celebrate Excellence Everywhere.

Or so it says.

But what do you call it when one of those heroes, who just happens to be one of the greatest players at his position of all time, gets repeatedly and pointedly ignored, year in and year out?

At best, the Hall of Fame has failed at its mission.
