Just about every bronze-cast bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame rolled its eyes when, in 2023, a group called The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) issued a positive report card for the NFL, recognizing its commitment to wokeness.
According to ESPN, the league had earned good marks for racial hiring practices (86.2%), gender hiring practices (84%), and “an overall combined grade of B-plus (85.1%).” This was according to the TIDES 2023 NFL Racial and Gender Report Card. Don’t ask me what the TIDES methodology was, or for examples of the sorts of “inroads” the NFL has made. I don’t care, and most likely you don’t, either.
Though, if you really need some examples, the league has made a concerted effort to hire women coaches and referees.
On the coaching side, last year, the league hired six women as coaches, all of them in the strength and conditioning realm. How many of them do you think were hired because they were women? Well, since the NFL is bragging about hiring women as referees and as coaches, it would seem that their gender was a primary reason, wouldn’t it? Perhaps even more so than ability.
If you just go by statistics, given that the country is teeming with very accomplished male strength and conditioning coaches in the pro and college ranks across many sports, the law of averages would indicate that there are likely many men better suited for these jobs than the women the NFL hired. It's just a numbers game. More than likely, the NFL would have had to skip over more qualified male candidates to hire the six women it hired.

Owners like Kraft are indulging themselves.
You can hire on the basis of merit or you can hire on the basis of "diversity"
You cannot do both.
Pretending otherwise is fundamentally dishonest.
A traditional male cheerleader looks like this at a typical sporting event at an university.
But we know that this is not what the NFL is doing.
“racial hiring practices (86.2%)”
Total BS. Black males makeup 6% of the population but make up 73% of the players. Woke propaganda.
Maybe hiring women coaches has its upside. Maybe they bring authenticity when they yell to the players, “I want you to get out there and murder your opponent like they’re your kids!!!!!”
I thought the NFL already acknowledged football is gay?
Keep watching America. Buy more of their junk. Bet your hard-earned money on teams.
It’s like playing the national anthem. Patriotism has nothing to do with sports. It opened the door for the Kapernicks out there.
Cheerleaders are in high school. What does sexual attraction have to do with the business of football? It opened the door for distractions. Again, we’re being played.
Those sideline reporters make me wanna gag.
ROFL!!!
Damn ...
That was dark ...
Funny as all get-out, though.
😁
Juicy smollee, anderson cooper, hakeem jeffries, abdul rahamman el sayied? Who knows. Rarely watch any of it anyway. Can’t afford all the different subscriptions to see it. 🤣

I excommunicated sportsball from my life about ten years ago. That freed up a lot of time for me to actually do things.
Ooops! Double tap. Sorry.
LOL!
The NFL is another historical, civil society organization that’s been co-opted by the deep state
32 billionaires can keep their monopoly status, their position at the center of American sports, they can avoid liability for player injury, have taxpayer funded stadiums, etc...
They just need to follow the simple rules about woke messaging
