"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."
False. That is HEAD coaches, not total coaches. Based on what I see on the sidelines, most if not all teams have two to five black assistant coaches.
One of 32 head coaches is a little more than 3%, and 4 coaches would equal a little more than 12% of the coaches, roughly equal to the percent of blacks in the country. So all of his outrage is generated by a shortage of THREE coaches.
"But blacks are 71% of the players!!!" It's a different skill set. I can think of only one great player in the modern era - Mike Ditka - who later became an outstanding head coach. Maybe I'm forgetting someone, but there haven't been many.
And how "racist" can a league be when 71% of the players are black and many of them make more money in one year than most whites do in a lifetime?

Not now correct. The last two coaches hired were at least partially black.
Miami hired Michael McDaniel who identifies as multi-racial, joins Washington Commanders’ Ron Rivera, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin and the New York Jets’ Robert Saleh as the only minority head coaches in the 32-team league.
The Houston Texans promoted Lovie Smith after this news report.
