Teams should hire a lesser candidate because the blacks feel left out. It's stupid how we have to cater to their needs. Shits equal, color is not holding them back. If anything whites have unequal rights now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. The rule is stupid, but I don't know that "the blacks feel left out" is the reason for it.

I have said it for years. The Rooney rule is total bullshit because teams don't give two shits about it, give a token look to satisfy the rule and move on. Someones skin color doesn't make two shits if he can play ball or coach ball.
It's not a real chance. Its fake. It's lip service. So why are they still doing it? |

I say I don't give a rat's ass one way or the other.
It is nothing more than a talking point today.

By the way... NFL front offices have astoundingly low percentages of visible african americans. In my opinion, this is a problem. And whites don't have unequal rights. Nobody is forcing any team to hire black coaches. Just to interview them. A white person has an equal shot at winning the job as a black person does. |

There's too many black athletes. They need to try getting whites more involved.

In my opinion... if you're a team that consistently conducts this Rooney Rule interview as lip service, then they're idiotic. Frankly, I've seen Buffalo treat the rule this way, and it's a big reason why that team is such a joke. |

If I'm a black coach and I'm asked to give a token interview I'd be pissed. The Rooney Rule is an embarrassment.

Coaches and front office staff can often be refused an interview because that coach isn't in the GM's personal network of croneys. Until the Rooney Rule was in place, it was way too hard for black coaches to break into this circle. And I think the absence of this rule in front offices creates the same problem. |
