J Caro asked in SportsFootball (American) · 1 decade ago

Anyone else find this funny?

A while back it was a big deal that Darker Pigmented (can't say black) Americans said it was a racist league cause they could be a star player. But you could almost never be a head coach or owner. The NFL changed that and we see more head coaches that have a different heritage than us "honkies". And made sure that no sign of racism can be seen. Yet women can only put a skirt on and shake her cans for the audience.

half serious question here

Can't wait for the responses

    Racism sells in the media. If they can't find it, they will CREATE it!

    I think there's always going to be someone whining about discrimination, whether there is a basis for it or not, and the press is always going to jump on the bandwagon, and there isn't much to be done to correct the matter. Personally, I'd rather see tight abs and big pecs on the sidelines, so long as they looked like they understood what was happening out on the field. Fur-burgers who know nothing but the camera really get on my nerves, but we can't get rid of them.

    As to the coaching situation--another affirmative action tedium. What about Art Shell? Terrie Robiskie? Herm Edwards? Lovey Smith? We went through the same hoo-haw ten years ago about black quarterbacks, and some of the ones we got weren't worth a single paycheck. Some of them were, of course, but I think the focus should be on talent, not color or gender. Although, I don't know that too many women are up to going head-to-head with NFL-sized guys.

How many of them are working to become head coaches in the NFL . Lets not make this about Black or White look up facts .. there are alot of coordinators in this league and im not about to name them all because i dont know them all .

    Would you like to see an offensive lineman shaking his cans for the audience?

    I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit at the thought of it!

    The way I see it, if you can't play in the league you shouldn't be able to coach in the league. Thats all im going to say on the subject.

    Your point is?

    I find it funny that you can walk and chew gum at the same, but then again I've never seen you do it.
