It’s because the black fan base threatened to “Black Out” (Boycott) watching the NFL season and buy NFL merchandise if more black people didn’t get jobs in the higher offices of the NFL.
The public was told it was all about Collin Kaputnik kneeling but that was a distraction. Players were permitted to kneel. Ultimately it was about getting the office jobs.
There are still some years old Youtube videos promoting this boycott by the black community.
Shes a natural born Redskin.....
Funny thing is that the Cleveland Browns are one of the two teams with the much-desired black general manager. Thing is...he's a brilliant Harvard grad, heavily into analytics, who never played pro football. Majored in stats and computer science.
The other black NFL GM is Chris Grier...who is a very smart Amherst grad who also spent all his time in front offices and never played NFL ball.
GM jobs are about smarts -- not about how fast you run the 40, or how many reps of 225 you can do on the bench. There is absolutely zero logical basis for believing that the pool of individuals qualified to be NFL GM's looks anything like the pool of individuals qualified to be NFL players. The other NFL GM, Chris Grier, is an Amherst grad
Exactly. There’s something like a dozen FBS black coaches, half of whom are at any time on the lists of coaching hotseats.
And outside of James Franklin and maybe David Shaw, who’s been successful?
The NFL is admitting the Blacks are not good head coaches and have to bribe teams to hire them. Why don’t they promise an automatic playoff birth to every team with a black head coach?
The process is called Africanization. The goal is the Zimbabwe Football League
My school has a minority coach, Kevin Sumlin. I wish he would go somewhere else.
Because that Affirmative Action thing worked so well.
OK, but the additional draft picks have to be white, to make it “fair”!
There are only around 14 black head coaches in FBS (around 130 schools), 5 of them are in the weak sister PAC 12.
Not many of those 14 are very sucessful.
Pretty small talent pool.
its fan base is WHITE.....
we haven't watched much pro football and we really do not miss it at all....
we like college bb until they manage to ruin that..
I thought Golf was the last refuge to avoid PC BS, but then came Rory.
if they elimiate all whites from pro sports, we're not watching....there isn't any of my "kind" in there...
if the nfl wants to be like the wnba, with a certain "demographic" then they can suffer like the wnba....few fans and absolutley no appeal...
The NFL needing more minorities is about as funny as a diversity staffer at the NBA.
I guess I was a holdout and still watched the NFL. It amazes me how so many can out stupid themselves and do things that will simply destroy all in the name of whatever the fvk. The NFL can die,and I won’t care. The left has destroyed another institution.
so much for “Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character”......
Right on!
“so much for Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character... ”
Exactly!! I remind liberals of what King said and some get pissed.
