Can people on both sides of this argument just take a step back and look at the complete hypocrisy of the mega billion dollar empire that is the NFL? For two years they've put in messaging about equality and ending racism, as if just saying these things and branding their product with it is enough. Yet here the NFL is with just one black head coach.
Somehow guys like Leftwich, Bieniemy still remain without a head coaching job. Flores who did a remarkable job turning things around in season is fired?
This in itself is a major issue and IMO encompasses all of society. These big businesses and millionaires talk the talk, and brand themselves as such, but when it comes down to doing something, they don't do jack shit.
Similar to the celebrities who openly talk about homelessness and helping out communities, but you don't see them donate a paycheck to their local shelter. Maybe you see them amongst those in need while they are filming a commercial promoting their vision and wanting you to donate money to their cause or to make you aware, but what actual change do they do?
Just take a moment to see the hypocrisy that the NFL is doing. Equality yet here they are firing a winning record coach who was placed with a rebuilding franchise, and now only has one black coach in the league.
