I Fully expect A Rod to be cancelled over this whole thing

Anyone think Rodgers is not bumping this this morning?! Haha, Bang Bang Niner Game!

how many BLACK coaches or ownes do they have?

I don't know. Is that relevant?

[cawacko]

Yep if the NFL lost its non black fans it would severely reduce its revenues. In fact most fans want to watch football and not participate in "social justice". They want to watch millionaires preform physical acts that most of us can only dream of. And they don't care what race the person preforming those acts are. If Football gets into politics it will kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

I wasn't just talking about blacks fans, I was referring to any/all fans. One doesn't have to be black to say they don't support systemic racism. Fans of any background can boycott the NFL if they so desire. And I was addressing Jarod's point about principle and hypocrisy and he won't answer if people who think the NFL is (systemically) racist should support it or not.

That ship has sailed.

But apparently sportsball addiction is a thing.

Which would you rather have only 15% of the NFL players be black and 15 % of owners and coaches be black or 70% of players be black and the current number of black owners and coaches.

Football is a meritocracy Jerry Jones would have your Grandmother as his head coach it she could bring him a Super Bowl victory.

She's a mental deficient, BTW.

Not enough, hopefully, that changes, soon.

So should the league also increase the number of non Black players?

How is that even a comparison?

Racial equity!

Racial equity!

It's not a comparison.

For the players, the best skills win out. Every player has an equal opportunity, and the talent determines it.

Not for coaching. It's fairly clear if you watch the game and understand the coaching talent out there, that there is some sort of filter when it comes to the top job.

So you say.

Don't you think each team's roster "should look like America"?

That would make the teams "look more like America", wouldn't it?

If a particular coach can bring victories he will get the job no matter what race he is. Its a meritocracy. You actually think a coach that brings NFL wins would be passed over because of skin color? If that were the case why do teams have so many black players. Logically there should be very few black players if skin color hold people back in the NFL. Winning is the name of the game. If a person can bring wins that person has a job in coaching or playing.
