For this year’s game, the league asked the FBI to perform security checks on all credentialed personnel, including members of the media, (NFL spokesman Brian) McCarthy said. The NFL’s security department, which controls the composition of the application form, attempted to make the press credentialing process “consistent with checks that are done for others who receive a working credential,” which includes requesting racial information.
The FBI has said that while providing racial information is helpful to conducting security checks, it has not been, and was not intended to be, a required field on the application form.
According to the WaPo, reporters can “select ‘American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black, Unknown, or White, including Hispanic’ in the race field.”

When will they start checking the racial identification of the audience? They can have a certain sections of the stadium for under served minorities with subsidized prices/free at the game to ensure “fairness”.
Whitey can get in, but only on a diversity visa lottery.

Is that Democrat operative, Joe Lockhart, still handling the NFL’s media?
No wonder the league is so tainted with politics when their public face is steeped in Democrat politics.
No more football for me.
This is racist, since it pretends that "White" is a monolithic racial group not requiring further differentiation.
How would they like it if they had no choices but "Alpine, Mediterranean, Nordic, Iberian, Slavic, Semitic, Baltic, Laplander, and... Colored?"
Regards,
Great way to alienate the remaining portion of the fans still watching.
This actually makes some rational sense.
If a credential is issued to a black male reporter, an olive-skinned woman in a burqua shows up, there’s a problem.
Of course everything the NFL has done on race up till now has flown in the face of logic, so scrooooo ‘em.
....guess the “pussyhat” group will have their own entrance?
I demand that NFL teams be 50% women, 15% mexican, 60% white and 5% asian, and 13% black
Good—I want to see white male, liberal suckups hoist on their own petard!
Same goes for the VC crowd in Silicon Valley.
Let *them* live up to their silly standards for a change.
I am pretty sure I can NOT ask any race kinds of wuestions on an employee application.
How can the NFL ask this???
It’s not an employment application. It’s a permission application and applicant will go through an FBI background check. And it’s a perfectly legit FBI background check question. If you had a valid reason to put applicants through that you could ask it too.
Next up, three genders to choose from... followed by a quota system, to be sure there is plenty of “diversity”....
What a crazy world we live in.
Wow...Logic escapes liberals...You would get blank stare over that one...Hollywood movies next...Every movie has to look just like America...
Is the FBI for hire? Or is the NFL a US government agency?
Well, of course...their race is what ever the reporter chooses it to be.
Robert Lee alert!?!?
Throw in drug testing, cognitive texting, and a physical for the reporters.
Good Lord, straight out of Nazi Germany. I guarantee the same process occurred at the Berlin Olympics.
