Well, if it is quality based system you could infer there is a small number of qualified candidates.

Fundamental tenet of radical leftism:

Everything is racist, but in some cases, we have yet to decide on the precise reason why . . . but that does not matter because, whatever it is, it’s still racist.

Yet blacks are only about 17% of the USA population.

Blacks account for less than 13% of the population. There are more Latinos than blacks and they almost completely excluded from the coaching rankings (Ron Rivera being the only Hispanic coach).

“Bill Belichick ranks first among NFL head coaches by total championships won (5).”

#6 could happen in 10 days

Bill never played professional football.

The large number of black players is evidence of systemic racism.

How many had winning records? The real systemic racism is the college recruiting of skill positions and defense. Whites need not apply. This leads to them going to small schools and thus, going undrafted or very late round picks. Adam Theilen, Jordy Nelson, Zach Zenner are prime exames. JJ Watt wasn’t recruited. Case cloaed.

How about the number of black NFL players? Is that systemic racism? Or the NBA?

So the only time there is a racial imbalance problem is when somehow blacks are under-represented.

If blacks are over-represented, any acknowledgement of such is racist.

Got it.

So the teams that fired black coaches, weren’t
Racist when they hired them
But They became racist when they fired them?

So the NFL is 68% black players and the NBA is 74%. The leagues are clearly racist. Only 23% white, 2% Latino, and a shocking 0.2% Asian in the NBA.

For the NFL, the are even more racist as they list 68% black, 28% white, and 4% everything else. How demeaning for the “everything else”.

So 12% of the population gets 74% and 68% of these millionaire jobs. It is an outrage. Freaking reverse apartheid.

Funny how they care so much about the coaching jobs but ignore their own hypocrisy regarding the players. F’ em all. Rich spoiled punks.

The NHL is worse, 50% are, get this,......... Canadian. Only 24% are American. Damn illegals coming over here and committing crimes. Slashing, Hooking, Boarding, Cross-checking, Tripping, Roughing. It is out of control.

I'm done.

Go Penguins.

Lets reduce the number of NBA and NFL players of color to no more than say 50% and fill the rest with other minorities. Thats fair right?

The NFL is lost.

After that non-call in the Saints/Rams game, I believe it.
