NFL says all teams must add minority offensive coach, expands Rooney Rule to include women
    Kevin Seifert
ESPN Staff Writer
March 28, 2022

PALM BEACH, Fla. -- All 32 NFL teams will hire a minority offensive assistant coach for the 2022 season, part of a series of policy enhancements announced Monday to address the league's ongoing diversity efforts.

The coach can be "a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority," according to the policy adopted by NFL owners during their annual meeting, and will be paid from a league-wide fund. The coach must work closely with the head coach and the offensive staff, with the goal of increasing minority participation in the pool of offensive coaches that eventually produces the most sought-after candidates for head-coaching positions.

"It's a recognition that at the moment, when you look at stepping stones for a head coach, they are the coordinator positions," said Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II, the chairman of the NFL diversity, equity and inclusion committee. "We clearly have a trend where coaches are coming from the offensive side of the ball in recent years, and we clearly do not have as many minorities in the offensive coordinator [job]." ...

And how is that legal under current employment law? Or does the law not matter anymore?

minority = Black, in contract terms.
Not Asian, Not Latino, Not White, Not 'transgender', yet."
When the media says the word 'minority', they are saying 'Black as the ace of spades' without saying the unmentionable word, "Black".

The Steelers are super woke, but last time I looked, the highest-ranking female on the sidelines was a trainer. They do have a black head coach, though, so they're good.  :whistle:

So the NFL is placing race above competence, just like Joe Biden on Supreme Court nominations.

They get a bye from the anti-trust laws, so perhaps they get a bye on anti-discrimination laws, too?  :shrug:

So brave. I'm sure the players will be glad to know that the person treating their injuries is not necessarily the best available, but at least has the right skin tone.

An offensive coach?  One that calls people names and beats them with socks full of nickels?

No, it's just a coach who refuses to bathe.

Being selected to be the token anything in any field of endeavor is offensive, I should think.
