I listened to the sports channel at lunch for about 5 minutes. They said not enough blacks are being hired. I don’t watch news or read the paper.
Is this true? I thought there were lots of black coaches.

Coaches gotta be "woke" to their players.....
It helps if they are also educated enough to talk in English, strategize, communicate clearly, and know enough not to hold a handgun sideways.

Tony Dungy is the only one that has not been a joke. Unfortunately, pro teams hiring people that have to produce wins on the basis of color is a losing proposition.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Is this true? I thought there were lots of black coaches. Certain jobs require a great deal of physical ability. Others require a great deal of mental ability. I think there’s probably a clue there if we look deep enough...

Coaching takes a lot of time. High school coaches are there 12 hours a day plus. Maybe they aren’t willing to put the time in.

There's plenty of white coaches and GMs who weren't worth a fuqk either. I know, I live in Michigan, home of the Lions. Russ Thomas, Wayne Fontes, etc, etc.

Ya know, I started working 50 years ago, right about the start of Affirmative Action, and had to stand by while minorities (and women) were promoted ahead of me, without regard to test scores, performance, or ability, to correct the past discriminatory practices of my company. It cost me real money, and caused a lot of aggravation. They disciminated, no question, but we paid the real price.
Woulda thought, and hoped, that this nonsense would be over by now. Silly, silly me.
What fresh Hell is this?

The release of prisoners during the pandemic should help alleviate that.

Target number should be 12.7% which is the percent of the American population. Any more than that would be racist, by the definition of racism.
The people that should sue for discrimination are the Latinos/Hispanics which are 17.8% of the population and not represented in the NFL at all. NFL should just send out checks to a boat load.
