Why does the Rooney Rule exist?

It doesnt make any sense for this rule to exist. If a minority is the best option hes going to get hired, it doesnt matter if hes white, black, yellow, purple, or green. Its a business and the owners want to make as much money as possible and the best way to do that is usually by winning. If I were a minority who got asked to come in for an interview by the Cowboys this offseason I would be insulted and wouldnt take it. Its known that Jason Garrett will be returning but because of this rule they have to interview a minority. Am I alone in thinking like this?

    You're not alone but you're in the minority. Unfortunately racism does still exist. This is one tool to combat it...

    Many GM's just interview their good friends or people they know and the almost all white GM's were interviewing only white coaches since that is all they knew. At least now, some non-whites will get an interview which may help in the future.
