So "force" them to, as you say. The natural way. Stop buying their product. Do that, ask anyone who shares your views on the subject to do that as well. If there's enough of you, they will feel it in...

I guess it really depends, then, on what is your definiton of racial progress and what your ultimate goal is.

If the perfect world means some place in which no two candidates are being viewed at...

There's more coaching diversity because things have developed, organically, up to this point. Not because teams have been required to interview one (or two, since recently) black candidate per hiring...

The latter. Yes, the Rooney rule turns out not to be effective, imagine my surprise. Why? Because, again, we need to let the process run organically. You can't force personal relationships,...

It's supposed to encourage and reward the grooming and developing of future head coach and general manager minority candidates. It's not the worst thing in the world, and frankly it probably makes...

10 years as a coach, starting through lower ranking jobs, is lightning fast, yet I've seen people argue that DeMeco Ryans or Byron Leftwich, both of them having half of that experience under their...

If you want to argue nepotism exists, sure, that's a valid point. It definitely exists. Is it bad, is it wrong? I think it's more or less a product of a hiring system in which, again, as pointed out...

This surely doesn’t apply to the NFL, though, where coaches are constantly in close contact with a pool of perhaps someday-to-be coaches, made up predominantly of black people, right? Surely...

As coaches build up their body of work through lower ranking jobs, so do players in HS and then college. The difference is there are like 53 openings per team as a player, and only 1 as a HC.

And...

You could argue the same for coaches. Qualified people tend to make their way to the top one way or another.

This is wrong/dumb on every level imaginable.

Perhaps because if you're really advocating for equal opportunities, it's pretty ridiculous to have teams meet a certain quota of interviews of black coaches.

The rule is dumb. It's putting both...

How can someome be at blame for literally following the rules in place?

There is no reasonable way the Giants, or Schoen, can be held accountable for wanting his guy all along? That’s stupid, and...

You'd think that if the previous OC you hired from under Reid to run your team failed so badly, you've earned the right to not want to repeat the mistake and not have people question whether your...

Carson Strong is getting madly disrespected. It's pretty crazy.

Why should the Giants be punished for following the rule? I think the only positive change that could realistically come out of this is realizing the rule is not only morally wrong, it's also pretty...

Also, I really appreciate the effort, but the only US sports I am at all familiar with are football (the American version we're currently discussing, but the one you call soccer as well) and...

But the point people have been trying to make all along is that scoring a TD is easier than getting a stop. Meaning you would prefer to be second on offense in the format we're discussing, and chase...

It doesn’t really matter what Z is, if you care for equal opportunities, then for sure a format in which only one team could win on the opening possession is not the way to go.

It’s also really...

So right now, for the kicking team, we have X chance they lose the game on the opening drive, Y chance they lose it. Arguably X>Y, ok, but —

In your format, for the kicking team, there is Z chance...

A. Both teams can win the game on the opening drive

B. Only one team can win the game on the opening drive

A is where we’re at, B is where you’d have us be. Did I get it right?

What if they change it to the format you wish for and the defense scores on a pick six? Are you going to be like “wait a second, it’s not fair that one team gets to win on the opening drive”?

What...

Could be, but then again, it saves me from feeling how everyone that was cheering at Arrowhead was feeling, so I’m good with that.

I am aware of how the rule is structured, I am saying that the actual toss of the coin honestly provokes no emotion to me. Its outcome dictates whether I’m cheering for a stop or a score, but that’s...

I’m definitely not lying, as for being clueless, unless they inserted a new footnote to it that awards you the win automatically once you win the coin toss that I still don’t know about, not sure...
