Diversity does not flow to the bottom line in professional sports. Only one thing does….winning![/quote]

Haha… very true.

The NFL owners are a pretty egotistic bunch so I’m sure they won’t let a little rule interfere with their money.

If the players are majority Blacks, it might help to have a Black coach make the team a winning team. That’s what I meant with the bottom line in this case.[/quote]

Brian: So, if I understand you correctly: The NFL is 70% Black and Black players would play better under a Black coach and thus win more? Do I understand that right?

You never played football, did you? There’s a great old Bart Starr interview where Starr tells the interviewer that Vince Lombardi treated everyone on the Packers equally, “like fucking dogs”. When asked why Starr continued to play for Lombardi, his answer was simple: “He won”.

The San Francisco 49ers are an excellent case in point. Previous coach was Mike Singletary, legendary Bears LB. Also Black. Team sucked under Singletary. Enter Jim Harbaugh, fresh from turning the Stanford Cardinal program around. Harbaugh is white. 49ers are now 9 – 2 and playing some of their best football since the Montana – Young years. Same team, same talent and completely different results under Harbaugh. Color doesn’t and SHOULDN’T have shit to do with the hire. Find the best person for the job and hire them. Regardless of what the job is. That is a major problem with this country right now: We’re too shit scared to tell the truth and we’re downright TERRIFIED of excellence.
