The "Rooney Rule". I didn't even know the NFL had such a rule that requires team's to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operations positions. I know this is a touchy subject, but I stand one-sided. WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT! I think it is time to say that Black people have every opportunity, and it is up to them to take advantage of them. I don't think there needs to be a rule forcing teams to interview someone of a minority.
When a head coaching position is open, the organization should interview the best possible candidates. If that includes someone of a minority or not, who cares. You are out there to hire the best one for the job. In this day and age, I don't think organizations are going to stay away from minorities if they have the resume they are looking for. Hire who you want, and interview who you want. That's just what I think. All I know is that I wouldn't want to be of minority and interview for one of those football positions knowing you were called in to simply fulfill the "Rooney Rule"!
Signing off.

Craig!!! It's a damn shame I haven't seen you in so long. This must change when I get back. What's the best email to reach you at? Leave it as a blog comment.
Obviously you don't understand because you are obviously not a minority. It's not because they want to give minorities an advantage, or because minorities don't put forth the effort. It's because racism is still alive and to ensure that it doesn't infect the NFL they must make it a mandatory. All goes back to racism which you so vaguely, but still, displayed.
Good Day SIR.
