Demographic arguments are a slippery slope. They sometimes backfire.
The fact that some races are disproportionately represented as players has been used to justify racism among management, but there is a much more controversial side to this. The fact that some races are disproportionately represented as players suggests that there is a racial aspect to fitness for the function. The same *may* be true of ownership, management, and coaching. The problem is that if being black confers an advantage as a player, everyone is fine with that, but if being white confers an advantage as a non-player, it must be racist. While I have no doubt that racism is often a factor, it may not be the primary factor, and people may not like the implications of that.
In the end, pushing towards color-blindness is the only sustainable approach. The constant emphasis on color fairness is gonna backfire time and again.
Psh only 5 INTs in 2 seasons. What a gimmick. Real football QBs can throw that in a single game.
But fr that is COMPLETELY INSANE. What we just witnessed the past 2 years with HH may not be fully be grasped until we have 10 or 15 years of separation.

I saw a guy out today who had a black tshirt with The Don’t Tread On Me snake and above it ‘Make Us’Where can I get this for my husband???
He tried to get me to share with y’all yesterday his T-shirt that has a gun on the front saying “this is a tool” then on the back says “I am the weapon.” He thought y’all would appreciate that. Then he asked me if he could wear it to work today. Told him probably not a good idea.
That’s for sure!!!I would personally say the bigger problem with NFL coaching hires is not racism rather nepotism and rehashing coaches who failed somewhere else. It seems coaches always pop up again and again on different staffs even if they aren't that good. That's the trust circle thing I suppose but it's a problem for sure.
Half of America is also women...
But half of the NFL is not.
That seems to be the argument...the demos of the NFL.
