They're been implementing this kind of mandated discrimination throughout the business world for a while.

Somehow the article neglected to mention that this means 32 teams must fire their existing assisting coaches because they are the wrong sex or race

Why is a defensive assistant coach not satisfactory enough?

Poof, you are now the fullback coach! Your pay is minimum wage. What, we don’t have a fullback? Too bad, we met Rooney.

I really object to women being in positions of authority
having never played the game in a men’s league.

You can know an awful lot, and it be worthless if you never
played the game.

It’s the same argument I have for women doing play by play
or interviews on the field.

Leave it to the men who have been in the sport.

They have first hand experience of what goes on in the
mind of a person actually running the plays.

The women do not. It’s embarrassing at times how idiotic
their questions and observations are.

I suspect it’s just gonna be an “honorary” position.

IIRC there is no limit to the number of coaches a team can have.

That salary will just be baked into future ticket sales.

How does it “aid” minority hiring?

Seems like it REQUIRES minority hiring.

Good rationale.

Can an earlier failure as an assistant just “identify” as a woman and get rehired?

Whether they're qualified or not.

The new NF is all offensive, it sells tickets. teams want the OC who called the plays. See Kevin O Connell this year. From OC Rams to HC Vikings.

Why doesn’t the NFL just go all in and declare all teams must hire a black head coach?

I don’t give a crap. The NFL has been dead to me for several years. Eventually, it will complete implode. Start ridiculing the suckers that still watch that crap. Yeah, I know there are still Freepers that do. You are useless idiots to support these commies.

Why the need to have women in the mix of coaching candidates for a men’s sports league?

Exactly.

If you think about it, it brings a whole new dynamic to the
locker room also.

It’s just not a workable idea for the male team members.

Men can walk in there and address an issue with no problem.

Women? What a joke.

The Browns have a gay chick who was the "tight ends" coach during a covid induced layoff of the regular guy. But then she got arrested for DWI.
