Recent minority interviews for NFL coaching jobs in Washington and Seattle under the Rooney Rule have raised questions whether the spirit of the rule has been violated.

The "spirit" of the rule was that the NFL needed to placate the black power movement, which was going to bleed them dry if they didn't do something.

So how do you violate that "spirit", except by actually hiring black people to be head coaches?
