The Americans of African descent population in America is what, 12%?.

After Reggie Mackenzie makes his HC hire well have 7 black HC's. And that's with several HC positions still open.

What % do you need to say "oh, I guess owners aren't racist anymore".

I think they want a percentage more reflective of the ratio of black to white players in the league. aka 70-30...

:confused

Stupid point...I'd guess that 65% or more of the league is black, so the coaching percentage should be close to that number, right?

Running fast makes you a good coach?

I think coaches that play the game they are coaching would have more insight that a coach who did not. I'm not a Grand Wizard though, so there is that.

I hope that someday white coaches are as prevalent as white RBs and DBs.

Belichick played football in college and Lombardi actually had a football scholarship to Fordham. Thanks for making my point.

You gotta be half a fag to not play some level of football, especially in the 40's.

Mikey Burke to replace Skip Peete.

I just think it is a pretty stupid gripe to have. Maybe one day us white folks will finally get a fair shake.

Cop out. I do that too when I say something dumb as fuck and need to find an easy out.

I can't relate to the product on the field if it's not people who resemble me.

Possibly an under 6 foot basketball league?

I don't care how tall they are they just need the right amount of melanin.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Do you really think you need to have played fball at a high level to be a good coach?

Have you ever seen the scrubs in a D3 ivy league game?


If the only reason for a rule is "who's it hurting" it's a silly rule and you know it. It doesn't bother me, interview a tranny for all I care. Just dont pretend like in 2012 We need it
