Biden Attacks NFL For Lack Of Black Coaches: ‘Just Some Generic Decency’
Jon Dougherty February 14, 2022President Joe Biden ripped the National Football League during an interview that aired on Super Bowl Sunday for not having enough black coaches, claiming that it was due to “some generic deficiency.”
His remarks came on the heels of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s remarks recently that the league “won’t tolerate racism” and “won’t tolerate discrimination.”
“The commissioner pointed out they haven’t lived up to what they committed to. They haven’t lived up to being open about hiring more minorities to run teams,” Biden told NBC News anchor Lester Holt in the interview.
“Goodell says they’re gonna take a look at whether they can meet the standard. And the standard was set by someone who said this is something we should do,” noted Biden.
“The whole idea that a league that is made up of so many athletes of color, as well as so diverse, that there’s not enough African American qualified coaches ‘to manage these NFL teams,’ it just seems to me that it’s a standard that they’d want to live up to,” he said. “It’s not a requirement of law, but it’s a requirement, I think, of just some generic decency.”
Both Biden’s and Goodell’s comments come after former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, who is black, filed suit against the NFL and a number of teams claiming racial discrimination in the league’s hiring process.
