NFL makes adjustments to Rooney Rule to aid minority hiring
New York Post ^ | March 29, 2022 | Erin Keller

Beginning this season, all 32 clubs must employ a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority to serve as an offensive assistant coach. The person will receive a one-year contract and work closely with the head coach and offensive staff to gain experience.

Now we have female sports announcers for male leagues. They give their ‘insight’ to the game but I’m left wondering, what makes you any kind of authority? Why am I listening to you? What I want is an ex-player that played IN THIS LEAGUE - especially for NHL/NFL. Then I hear them talking about what the goaltender “should have done” and I just want to turn it off.

We’re saturated in a culture hell-bent on ‘anything but white men’. The legal system seems to be sitting around allowing straight-up discrimination.

I’m glad I gave up on sports several years ago.

That is funny. If it is not one’s opinion, it is easier to sit back and watch others’ reactions without becoming offended.

Rachel Dolezal identifies as black, and nods in agreement with your post.

Do the females have to be stamp certified by a biologist?

As we found out recently this season, his name is “T-O-L-K-I-E-N”. Any of us who thought his name was anything else are a bunch of ignorant dirty racists.

Quota hiring helps no one - least of all the members of the groups who are part of the quotas.

I am puzzled by them saying you must have a woman in the mix of hiring for coaching positions.

Women? Women who have never played football and have no connection to football, must be hired to coach a man’s sport? And we are doing this why? So the NFL can bend over backwards to prove that they are liberal? So they don’t get attacked by feminist groups, or other liberal groups?

What the heck?

The details of how to run an NFL team are being influenced by people who don’t know a (fill in the blank) thing about the sport.

Of course, we should ask, why do NFL owners feel compelled to do any of this to appease anyone?

Yes, there must be some way of certifying that these women are indeed women. Here’s a great new job for Biology majors coming out of college, as NFL teams hire sex specialists to determine the sex of those claiming to be women.

Because the NFL is now only composed of 80% black players.

How do you feel when you realize the only reason they hired you is because of some unique feature that didn’t apply to anybody else so they could meet a imposed requirement? I mean, you were not hired because you’re the best!

Like for the Supreme Court????

So, does this mean that the NFL will be hiring more white men as employees? I ask because white men seem to be in short supply at these football games. Hey, how about some Asian guys on that line?

The Rooney rule just wastes people’s time with sham interviews.

Forcing them to hire OTOH could end up just creating welfare jobs.

Woman coaches in men’s sports is just weird to me (no offense ladies).

No offense here. It kind of bugs me too. So do women commentators for NFL/NCAA football games.

My grandson is upset because the coach of his Little League team this season is a college girl who’s on scholarship for softball. But I told him maybe she knows more than the old guys that usually coach.
