That's a leftist ideal, friend.
Love it or hate it, professional sports is one of the few remaining merit-based industries in the country. If you don't make the cut, you're unemployed, which is essentially the conservative way.
Race based quotas? No thanks.

How it “should” be, I agree with you. How the laws are today... he is right. The great disparity between the workers and the population is accepted as primafacia proof of discrimination in any other area and it should be enforced here.
One of the best ways to demonstrate a bad law is to enforce it. If they would like to get political and inject race into the NFL... Then lets have the throw-down, it will be hilarious to see them jump through hoops and make racist statements trying to justify that they do not discriminate against Hispanics, whites and Asians. They are all under-represented inside the NFL player roster.
As long as they have nothing to lose, they have no reason not to double down on ridiculous positions such as claiming it is racist to have so many white coaches because the player base is majority African American.
After they get the message that this is not an area they want to pick a fight on... we need to do the exact same thing with gerrymandering and city boundaries. If it is wrong for congressional districts, then it is wrong for major city boundaries. Quite a few cities might flip if cities had to take the neighborhoods next to the malls and office buildings that the city annexed for the tax basis. The city of Houston city boundary is as offensive as any congressional district I’ve seen drawn for political purposes.
