OK, as long as they later move down in the draft each year the affirmative action coach has a losing record. It’s only fair.
Just give the championship trophies to the most diverse teams right now.
That would save time.
I say that I finally get to publicly affirm that football is a stupid sport anyway.
Run two feet, fall down, repeat.
I’d rather watch a sport that involves talent.

Crackers not allowed
We live in Onionland. A league that’s almost all black needs to get rid of the few remaining whites so they can be more diverse.
And whites just keep knuckling down.
Geez one can’t find many Caucasian men in the nfl anyway - why is this headline a deal.
Haven’t watched any NFL game over the past couple of years, this will only reinforce that decision.
Anyway - the basic strategy of the draft is to choose “the best player available.”
If a team chooses the best general manager available and the best head coach available, why should it be rewarded - or penalized - in the draft based on the skin color of their top executives?
Full Disclosure...
I have been a passionate football fan since the 1950s.
I am losing more and more passion every year.
You cannot make this stuff up
More short cuts for minorities AGAIN?
The real world will hit them hardest when it arrives.
Wait until they give the first overall pick to the team that hired a woman head coach first
This will be a huge mistake.
How about giving white players a fair shake, for a change?
The one thing published recently that gave me a smile was the Patriots’ All-Decade team with 10 of 11 whites on offense. Only RB James White was the exception — a reliable player I respect, not an extraordinary rusher but a superb receiver out of the backfield.
How many Wes Welkers, Julian Edelmans, and Danny Amendolas are out there unrecognized because of the unforgivable sin of being Caucasian?
Well, the Patriots dynasty was fun while it lasted. Looking ahead, it seems like the National Felons League is going to descend even further into depravity.
How about some diversity among the players or does 85% black players mean you have reached “diversity?” Imagine the screaming if the players were 85% any other race.
Hmmm, let me see. Nope, still don’t give a flying flip about pro sports. Much better things to do and think about.
Just when you think the National Felons League can’t get any dumber.
Good grief. Why doesn’t the NFL just award seven points at the beginning of each game to a team with a minority head coach, fourteen points if it has a minority QB, and 35 points if the head coach is a woman.
It is PC Racism. For the MONEY, I want MERIT!
i’m concerned that the next rule change may be to encourage drafting left-handed players.
Unsportsmanlike conduct penalties could be:
-5 yards for lefty on righty
10 yards for lefty on lefty
15 yards for righty on righty
30 yards for righty on lefty
