But, Ryan’s defensive players weren’t the ones with wide-open passes bouncing off their hands like off the cement sidewalk.

I think the NFL needs to look into the lack of hiring European-Americans for jobs as running backs, cornerbacks, and wide receivers.

Here’s a crazy idea. How about we just ignore skin color and ask... Is he/she qualified for the job? GASP! What!

32 teams.

16% of 32 =~ 5.

Take and urn and fill it with 27 white and 5 black balls.

Let the teams have the race of their coach assigned by random draws every 4 years.

An absurd solution, but it least it would get this silly issue off the table.

How many white wide receivers, tailbacks, and cornerbacks are there in the NFL? What about the NBA? How many white sprinters are on the US Olympic team? When I go into Chipotles to get my barbacoa burrito bowl, why is every employee Hispanic? Where does this pc nonsense end?

The government is not interested in fixing the problems they create, there is no incentive for that

“Aren’t we ever going to get beyond this kind of meaningless crap?”

Yes, but it takes time. After 100+ years of abject failure dealing with the Civil War “contraband”, Operation Import Hispanic Underclass is in full swing (and proceeding ahead of schedule - the numbers race was won by the Hispanics in 2000, 10 years earlier than projected). The restrictions on welfare, coupled with the Operation, should see the project run its course by 2025.

Soon (or not), an NFL team will be forced to hire a one-armed, wheel-chair bound, black/asian, gay transgendered (mythical) dwarf woman for the sake of “diversity” instead of hiring the most qualified person.

Bears are covered...they interviewed a black for head coach and hired a black defensive coordinator.

“This has been happening in the world of business for decades.”

It has, but one of the reasons black unemployment is so bad now is that when the going gets tough, the tokens are relieved of their fake jobs.

Unfortunately, probably not in our lifetime.

none of the eight coaches hired this offseason was of color

Since when is 'white' not a color?

Isn’t Whitey in the minority in the NFL? What the hell is the NFL talking about?

Hey you guys, let’s apply a little more affirmative action like they do everywhere else.

Poor Steelers! They have suffered, only winning 2 of the last 6 Super Bowls! If you want black QB issues, I’ m a lifelong Eagles fan. When the Steelers won their last Super Bowl, it was nauseating when the first person Dan Rooney thanked in the Lombardi Trophy presentation was Obama.

Report: "NFL looking into lack of minority hiring for head coaching jobs

Response: Let us be frank in the United States the term "minorities" means black. Once again the blacks and their supporters are relying on media pressure and the force of law to compel owners to put a black in charge. The blacks and their supporters are overlooking the fact of competence as a selection criterion. In a strange way by forcing selection of a black just because he is black the perception of black incompetence is strengthened.

Why? Why do we have to ‘look into it’?
