Apparently, The NFL Has NOT Ended Racism, Because
The Founders Of The Racist Rooney Rule Aren't Satisfied
https://www.outkick.com/sports/apparently-nfl-has-not-ended-racism-because-founders-racist-rooney-rule-arent-satisfiedBrace yourselves, boys and girls. Take a seat. Buckle up. Strap in. Have some cold water
at the ready just in case you go into shock …
The Rooney Rule founders are NOT satisfied with the NFL's diversity. Not yet, at least.
Stop me if you've heard this one before:
"There is still work to be done."
Yep, that's pretty much a direct quote from Cyrus Mehri and John Wooten – two of
the leading voices in the implementation of the insufferable, racist, stupid, "Rooney
Rule" the league invented out of thin air back in 2003.
See? Told you. Stunner.
From ESPN, which, I'm sure, LOVED telling this very important story:
Still, the league must keep trying to do better, according to Cyrus Mehri and John Wooten,
whose work led to implementation of the Rooney Rule in 2003. Mehri said the ranks of
NFL offensive coordinators -- a job that is the most common steppingstone to head coach
-- continues to lack diversity.
