Pardon if I sound blunt...but what the heck?

How come sports commentators and pundits are the only ones commenting on apparent racial inequality? If you're hired, you're hired. No buts about it. Doesn't matter your skin color.

If there happens to be more white guys than black guys coaching, is the average NFL fan going to care?

Nah.

What are your thoughts?

Affirmative action is racist.

Anytime ESPNN ventures outside of basic sports reporting, especially if they are musing about racial equality, I recommend switching the channel. You won't miss a thing.

What part of "being qualified" does ESPN not understand? If they keep this up, they're going to go the way of Sports Illustrated.

If the coaching staffs have to be racially balanced, why not all NFL positions??? Four of 32 is 12.5% and with a black population of about 13%, that is right in line. Screw the racist bums. Why not limit the starting RBs to 4 in the league, or CBs to 4, or the roster to 6-7 total which is in line with the 13% population? Then we can limit college scholarships to 13%. Screw these racist bums, lets give them total equality!!!!! Let them be equal and RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

Up until this article, I was just thinking about how nice it was that we'd gone the entire post-season, and the college national championship without anybody worrying about race. For all the reasons for supporting USC or Texas, I didn't hear of anybody saying they were rooting for one or the other because Young is black and Lienart white. I had no idea what the races of the current NFL coaches being hired was, and didn't really care. These sports writers must have a pathetic life, sitting in their corners bean counting, instead of (1) enjoying the sport, and (2) rooting for people based on their character instead of their color. The only color I care about is the jersey color. (Hint: Burnt Orange=good, Burgandy=evil)

I'll be concerned when there are enough representative white guys playing in the NFL.
