A barrier will be broken for college football. Why does it matter?

The only ones who care about race are racists.

Just when you think we’re getting done with victim culture.

What barrier?

"...only 9 of the 70 Power Four programs had Black head coaches. That’s just 12.9 percent..."

Isn't this figure pretty much equal to the percentage of Americans who are black? Yet more proof that 'equality' and 'equal representation' is not the goal of these race baiting socialist assclowns. Shut the hell up and play the game, coach the game...may the best players and coaches win.

Any news outlet that emphasizes “Black” and not “white” or any other ethnicity has lost my respect. If it even had it to begin with.

“During the 2024 season, only 9 of the 70 Power Four programs had Black head coaches. That’s just 12.9 percent.”

The percent of blacks in the U.S. population is reported to be 14.4 percent. Not too far off the quota.

So disproportionate representation is ‘meritocracy’ if blacks are overrepresented, but not when whites are?

And, what isn’t said is that Freeman’s blackness is the SOLE reason he and ND are in the championship.
No white man could have done it, ever.

Freeman was asked about this and ruined the reporterette’s day when he basically said race is irrelevant. Of course, Freeman played for OSU so that may explain why he has such character. :)

I 100% love Coach Freeman's response to a race baiting reporterette trying to make a big deal about him being black. He turned that mess off and said it was about the team, not about him, and that he hoped all coaches -- black, Asian, white, whatever -- continue to be successful and make a difference in people's lives.

I thought he was half Asian, so why not first Asian head coach?

Whoever wrote this is a racist. My Sioux mother always used to tell me, “Whoever brings up race first in a conversation is the racist in the group.”

Re: "Why did it take so long?"

Because the skill set necessary to be a successful college head coach is NOT the same skill set necessary to be a successful college football player.

One glaring exception - Deion Sanders.

Sanders is a completely average college coach.

However, Sanders has the skill set to be a world class celebrity.

With the new recruiting, transfer, and payment rules, almost every top college football player in the country has thought about giving Deion a phone call.

“The racial inequity is stark when you consider this fact: Black athletes make up 47 percent of the participants in the FBS, the highest level of college sports.”

Yes, that is stark. If Blacks are 13% of the American population, the FBS being 47% Black means that the other races are wildly underrepresented.

The Washington Post motto should be "All race, all the time."

Why is the left obsessed with race? Why do they refuse to let it go? I am absolutely convinced that they are determined to never, ever let it go. To never, ever let our nation, our society, heal. There simply must be some ugly benefit to the left to keep racism alive. In fact, this should be their collective chant:

"Keep racism alive! Keep racism alive!
