[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was thinking yesterday how Blacks are taking over football due to more opportunity for them to play and frequently more ability. For some Black kids (right or wrong) it's a way out of a life of poverty and they take it. Teams used to be majority white, now they are majority Black. [b]Coaching is now on the same trajectory as more Black players with experience become qualified to coach.[/b] [/quote]

This completely false and part of the problem.

You can start here:

The Rooney rule was always a pretend solutions and has failed.  The NFL owners have no solution to proffer - pretend or otherwise.

Interesting. I see far more Black coaches now than before. I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that just as with the rise of Black players, with time the coaches would catch up and probably dominate. [/quote]

Eventually I think there will be better representation but right now, they have a higher bar just to get a chance and then are fired much more quickly than than their white counterparts, circumstances being similar.

It's the same American story we see elsewhere, so no surprise here.

The "crime" is that the players, who are majority minority, suffer the consequence of impaired long term brain health/CTE while not being afforded the same opportunities in coaching and management, which, obviously, don't carry these extreme health risks.

It's a "stay in the field, boy" mentality / plantation mind-set that the league and owners just won't get away from.
