Is that so the boys in the locker room don't get too frisky?

The NFL’s dismal number of black head coaches shows a lack of “generic decency” from a league that hasn’t kept its promises, President Biden said in an interview airing Super Bowl Sunday.
“They haven’t lived up to what they committed to and lived up to being open about hiring more minorities to run teams,” Biden told NBC News, referencing the football league’s purported commitments to diversifying leadership.
“The whole idea that a league that is made up of so many athletes of color as well as so diverse, that there’s not enough African American qualified coaches to manage these NFL teams, it just seems to me that it’s a standard that that they’d want to live up to,” the president said. “It’s not a requirement of law, but it’s a requirement I think of just some generic decency.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged Wednesday that the NFL has fallen “short” in its goals of hiring more coaches of color and “is not doing a good enough job” in its efforts.
When asked if the NFL should be held to a higher standard on diversity issues because of its outsized cultural impact, Biden said he believed it should be held to a “reasonable standard.”
The NFL is no stranger to controversies surroundings it mostly-white run league, where 71 percent of players are people of color. The league of 32 teams currently has just one black coach, one Latino coach and one Arab-American coach, while the rest of the coaches are white.
In 2003, the NFL established the start of the “Rooney Rule,” which now requires teams to interview minority candidates for top jobs such as head coach.

Jackson has since insinuated that the Browns management was intentionally losing to try to get better draft picks.
I guess when one has severe dementia, phrases such as “generic decency” stumble to mind.
I think it’s more like, hiring a black person as head coach even if that person lacks the skill set simply because of their skin color. In essence, racism.
He should give up his job to a black person if he cares about equity.
And even a couple of lesbos.
Yeah Huey is a real bozo.
I did like Romeo though. But he maxxed out at the coordinator level it appears.
Racism is ‘generic decency’ to Biden and lowlife NFLer’s.
Goodell should step down for a black. For the good of the game.
Yep, he should make Jay-Z Commissioner, it seems for all intents and purposes he already is.
So if the coach you need happens to be white, hire someone else to appease the “diversity gods”?

Condoleeza Rice would be the obvious choice...
Biden is hypocritical! Given his background, he is trying to salvage the black vote the democrats are losing by pandering to them with this black coach hiring nonsense. Coaches are hired because of their qualifications, not their skin color. Thinking back, Doctor King would be disappointed with Biden’s suggestion that they should be hired because of skin color. Biden is a ding-a-ling.
NFL owners give a hoot about one thing: making money. Winning makes money. If a coach, white or black, wins…they keep their jobs.
It’s pretty simple.
Kamala Harris has an idea on the subject of ‘generic decency’.
Like Vince Lombardi said, “I view my players as neither black nor white, but Packer green”

They lost me about 10 years ago. I haven’t watched a game since, and don’t even miss it.
And an evil one, at that. 👍
If anyone watched hard knocks with the browns knew Jackson was not a good head coach
