NFL discriminates against the hiring of blacks for decades, no one says boo.
NFL simply proposes something to remedy that decades long discrimination, not enact, just propose, and it's labeled discrimination against white people and suddenly people are up in arms about it.
NFL is composed of 68% blacks, according to a 2014 survey. There are 2 black head coaches and 6 black GMs in the NFL. That's 12.5% of the 64 positions going to blacks in a league made up of 68% black players.
That said, something needs to be done about it but this sure isn't it.
I find this proposal to be insulting. Not to white people but black people. You hired a black coach, or GM, or both, so because you hired a black person, you get a competitive advantage for a year because.....why?
Is it because the white people in the NFL who were discriminating against blacks for decades, who are the ones coming up with this proposal, feel if you are hiring a black person that you are hiring an inferior candidate, so you need a competitive advantage, even if just for a year? Sure could be looked at in that vein.
There are better ways to get qualified blacks into the positions they should be in but this, this is not one of them. The NFL has to do more to get more blacks into those positions as I refuse to believe that there aren't a bunch of extremely qualified black people that could be holding those positions.
