imagine a timeline where the government declares progressive SJW's as deplorables and starts arresting them all any time they show up to protest any given event. pink/blue hair with a septum piercing and you decided to show up to peacefully protest? nah fuck that noise, you're under arrest.
I'm just gonna leave it there. this is one of the more braindead takes I've seen on reddit lately. hopefully you're still an angsty teen.

>The damn NFL has admitted to the issues.
no they haven't, wth are you smoking? lmao. what the NFL AKA Roger Goodell has said is that the league acknowledges that there aren't as many black coaches in the league that satisfies whatever forced diversity number they're looking for now that people are complaining. it's Roger Goodell ffs. he's been corny about this entire race thing since the beginning.
he's not saying the NFL has issues with racism against black coaches. he's being a diplomat and saying that more teams ought to specifically be checking boxes for race and gender.
moving on sounds good, I'm about out of gas for this topic.

>there have been a disporpotionate amount of them that were not given a reasonable amount of time to succeed. No one is saying the owners are racist.
that is exactly what those who point this out are saying. if it's not about race then what's the point of mentioning their race in the first place? sure, no one's come out and boldly suggested that the owners are racist, but that's entirely the implication here when making an argument that minority coaches don't get much of a chance. if this has nothing to do with race then ESPN wouldn't be putting out race bait headlines and tv discussions every time someone thinks a black coach got shafted.
>The NFL itself has said it has a problem with minority hiring.
they're not admitting that there's a problem with racist owners, they're trying to appease the crowd who feel that way hence the Rooney Rule - which by the way is a slap in the face. if a team elects to go with a head coaching hire who happens to be white, that organization is forced to put a black coach through a dog and pony show and waste the time of both parties.
>If you are waiting for a smoking gun that an owner did not hire a black coach because he is black, that is never going to happen.
as a matter of fact, I agree. that's actually part of my rebuttal to those people out there who are quick to cry racism when it's not a black coach who gets hired for a vacant position. we don't have all the facts. all we have are opinions, emotions and assumptions.
>What is fair to say is the system in place does not always allow for minority coaches to get a fair opportunity to be head coaches.
and how exactly do you prove this theory when none of us are present for the interview process? and given the fact that there are plenty of white coaches in NFL history who only got a one year shot, how is this not cherry picking? everything seemingly unfavorable that has happened to a black coach has also happened to a white coach. but if you're only going to focus on the black coaches, then of course it would look fishy.

I get the history. but you can't keep reaching for the past to justify the present. none of this matters. your points are purely speculative. how about we actually prove racism before we start saying that's what it is.

>People complained about Steve Wilks because he got one year.
did those same people also complain about marty schottenheimer, cam cameron, jim mora, mike mularkey, chip kelly, urban meyer, nathaniel hacket (to name a few) only getting one year as well?
more white coaches than black coaches have been one and done in the NFL (point being that it happens to everyone), so why are we perpetuating this narrative that black coaches are specifically getting the short end of the stick? this entire discussion is rooted in emotion. there's zero evidence which proves what you're suggesting is the truth.
conversely, if black coaches were only hired a handful of times throughout the league's history and all of them were one and done, that would make your argument appear more compelling. all it looks like currently is nitpicking to push an agenda.

you do realize that the Colts head coaching position was a death sentence for potential black coaches in the media, right? any time a black coach is hired on as HC of a bad team, the narrative instantly shifts to how he was set up to fail.

how does any of that differ from what white coaches go through? every situation is different. also, as a Dolphins fan, Flores was ass. he played favorites with his players and ran with two offensive coordinators who couldn't even make one. Flores' calling card is as a defensive coordinator. that's his niche - until he figures out how to put together a successful offensive staff.

this is such a bullshit take. the racism narrative is getting tiring. this is a no-win scenario. whenever a black coach gets a chance, the talking heads say he's destined to fail; that he's put in a bad position from the start. what happened to Jeff Saturday in Indy? nobody said that about him.
how many white coaches get hired and dumped on the regular? nobody bats an eye. brian flores, lovie smith, jim caldwell, mike tomlin, todd bowles, the list goes on. it's easy to see racism when that's all you're looking for.
the only thing I agree with is that he might be choosing DC to get out from under Andy Reid's shadow. but that doesn't prove the racism narrative.
