Exactly
Why even hire 1 black.
This is how stupid liberals are and how they think thou. The smartest guy shouldn't get the job...no, it has to be about color and being pro rata representation.
I remember when the Metropolitan Sports Facilites Commission DEMANDED that a female deliver the kegs to the Metrodome & Target Center. Convention Center too.
Now how in the fukk is a female going to drive a Class A to the dome or TC, unload 200+ kegs and escort them to the numerous coolers when a single kegs weighs 165 pounds, and the dudes struggle w the job as is.
Yet that Commission fought, tooth & nail for that condition to do business. It was ultimately rejected & replaced by a black doing the delivery lol
Just stupid.
Blacks ought to be ashamed of themselves for shit like this.Comment -
I am more outraged about the amount of Native American and Asian hires.Comment -
Is it stupid to say "the best person for the job" that will increase my profits, is bad?
Maybe the people that love money, hire people that will make them richer?
Black, green, yellow or pink.......just show me a profit.

One Word... EEOC look it up.
Now that you mention black QBs. It reminded me when I played at UF. The clearly best scout team QB was black. When our starting QB went down and our backup QB went mental, the Gators went with a white walk on QB instead. Every player on the team, white and black could not believe it. That white walk on had a successful career and currently a head coach in college. Actually he's been head coach of 2 college teams. That black QB who was very dynamic? He transferred to Oklahoma who had another black QB that he couldn't beat out. So he became a DB and had a nice career in the NFL. That guy was very smart, got a masters degree but could not get a coaching gig anywhere. Do you know how many of those stories there are???
It was common knowledge at UF that they would not ever hire a black HC (see Charlie Strong). It took them forever to start black QBs. Most of the QBs there got converted to another position or left.

It's the teams right to hire whom they choose to lead their team. End of story....Comment -
Mac
EEOC doesn't mandate a black hire lol
How about a black buy a nfl team and hire all blacks?
How come wealthy black people don't invest in black mgmt?
Why do white owners have to supplement or subsidize black economic success?Comment -
Rooney Rule has done more to delegitimatize coaches of color than get them hiredComment -
He’ll quickly and easily find another coaching job.

Wrong - the Rooney rule is to ensure MINORITY candidates get interviewed. Not just black candidates. The only black coach in the NFL was hired via the Rooney rule, so it's not dumb.
I consult Fortune 50 companies on talent. ALL of those companies ensure they have a diverse shortlist. You know why? Because diverse talent is ESSENTIAL in having a successful business. The companies that have not bought in on this are no longer with us and the list is long and growing yearly. So sure, stay behind in the way you evaluate talent. I already know where your business is headed.Comment -
Ross didn’t like Flores because he refused to tank for Burrow
As it turns out, Ross was right, Burrow is a great QB.
Ross had a great idea, flores fuked it all up.Comment -
It's the victim mentality of blacks
Since the 60s, the Great Society, the wealth transfer, the voting rights acts, the qoutas & affirmative action bs
People are sick of it, people are asking themselves 2 questions these days regarding race...and 1 of the 2 is true.
1- are blacks smarter than whites?
2- are whites smarter than blacks?
One of these is true and quantifiable. In an era of analytical management & sabermetrics / algorithm solutions to all business processes, people are realizing that the theory of equality used to justify the policies of the 60s was, like all liberal ideas, misguided.
The best & smartest get the job. The losers clean up everyone else's shit, and that's just life buddy. No government program is going to cover up for the way things are in nature.Comment -
flores should have tanked on commandComment -
not only they didnt get burrow thanks to flores, look at those OL picks, terrible, guy couldnt pickComment -
Rooney rule has always been a cheap attempt at a fair hiring process.Comment -
Nope but you better believe that it would be very easy to prove adverse impact. For some reason the EEOC has not served the NFL... yet? I work with companies that have had to answer these questions. It's not pretty.
The NFL does not have black owners. Many of these owners got these teams for peanuts. Whoever said these owners need to supplement anything? We're talking about hiring good coaches, black, white, purple. Most of these owners absolutely suck in hiring just as bad as GMs in evaluating talent. I'm totally convinced you and I could do a better job at coaching some of these teams. At least better in game and clock management. I think a fan poll on draft picks would do better than most of these front offices. This shit ain't rocket science and most teams are just BAD. They need to hire some diversity and start thinking out of the box.Comment -
hes just mad the giants didnt hire him
hope the nfl doesnt settle, flores should be in litigation for the next 20 yearsComment -
Will you feel the same way when Indians and Asians take all the top jobs in the country? It's not a pretty picture. Indians/Asians are kicking white, black, Hispanic kids ass in the classroom. We can't even find American PhD candidates because our kids are too entitled. So we hire kids and sponsor them to be US citizens because our own kids are too lazy. I'm hiring in emerging technologies like renewables, data science, AI, etc. It is an ugly sight. Our government HAS to get involved and start promoting these industries so that our kids are leading the future.

my uncle only hires spanish workers because they are good workers, work hard and dont complain
owners pay millions, teams know who they want plain and simpleComment -
hope Flores has more than just the BB texts...only thing solid in the complaint is that Ross is a terrible owner.Comment -
He grew up a Giant fan as a young kid. Imagine you interviewing for your dream job with your dream team then finding out that they already made the decision before you even showed up? He's definitely taking it personal and obviously mad. The NFL should do all they can to settle. This is a lose/lose for them anyway you slice it. Flores is a young guy. He can certainly wait out all these old guys. It is horrible publicity for a league that has had unprecedented growth. Do you know how quickly fan sentiment can change (look at the players kneeling). They could easily lose billions in sponsor rights, advertising, gambling revenue, etc. Just like Deshaun Watson's dumb ass. Sweep this shit under the rug and get back to business. The only problem is that Flores seems like a woman scorned. He may not go away so quickly.Comment -
people dont understand the Rooney Rule isn’t about doing what is fair or right, it’s about providing legal protection for owners and the league.Comment -
the giants didnt show up drunk for the interview from the night before,
must be a lie
all this shit will stop after the super bowl

Surprised I couldn't find this on the NFL forum.
As I said I believe this doesn't have to do with race, and suing based on racism is the wrong take.
There is only one quote you have to know:
"Flores again refused the meeting and left the yacht."
it's like i said before, these owners own billion dollar businesses and they don't have the time to be contradicted. You do what you're told. They are in a position of authority, with thousands of employees and 1500 things they could be doing, and they want credit and someone who will take the fall for them.
And if you're unwilling to do that, if you go against the owner, you're out, whether you're black hispanic asian woman man white old young it doesn't matter.
That's the way it has been, the owners or those in power run things, no you, and never forget it.Comment -
When it does come to race, as I said before, owners are reluctant to hire a black coach and why? Because they can't get rid of this guy.
If he does well, the owner gets the blame for firing him. So what they do is, they get a young black coach, put him in a spot he can't succeed, and fire him. Look at Notre Dame's coach, no exprience.
Remember the Clippers owner Donald Sterling got roasted by the league, they dragged this guy through the mud. These owners own billion dollar businesses, their names are what they got, and the LAST thing they need is a public race war-they avoid this at almost all cost.
Look at what happened here-the Miami Dolphins owner is going to get dragged through the mud, taking up his time and damaging his reputation-and if he had to go back he would not have hired a black coach and dealt with all of it-would he.Comment -
Because the majority of players are black, it's sad to see this. Who wants this. Nobody. Want people to succeed, not fail.
But, the only way to learn is the hard way. Flores is 40. When he's 50, he'll know better.
A guy like Jim Caldwell, I would think he knows better. imo they should hire the more experienced black coaches, age 50+, who know better how the owner's game is played.Comment -
Of course this coming out now: Black History month. Say whatever you want if you're black this month, and everyone will believe you and have your side.Comment -
How many Asian head coaches has there been?Demon - please explain to me
1) How in 50 years the NFL has only hired 10 black head coaches
2) How does the Giants already hire a guy and then interviews 3 black guys AFTER the FACT?
3) How does Brian Flores get fired for having a 2 year winning record and winning 8 of his last 9 games?
What does any of the above have to do with Left/Right, Dem/Repub? What side are you on? Very strange that you can't even afford a nice hotel, was on unemployment, cashed stimulus checks but you always side with the rich folks in these matters. Do you hate yourself that much? You are not in their club.
