Either way, its still a bad comparison. Brown hired those guys not because they were black, but because they were the best guys to help the team win. Katie is not the best to help this team win, she is an owners kid. Her only qualification.
Well, that's an ignorant and condescending comment..... she may have gotten her position with the team because she was an "owner's kid", but she has been working the front office for decades.....
Katherine "Katie" Blackburn (born September 25, 1965) is Executive Vice President of the Cincinnati Bengals,[1] an American football team in the National Football League. She went to law school and worked for a Cincinnati law firm before beginning to work for the Bengals in October 1991. She worked in the Bengals' front office, where she was the only woman in the entire league who was involved in negotiating players contracts. She preferred working behind the scenes and would often handle the club's radio and television networks. She is an expert on the NFL's complicated salary-cap structure and has helped connect the Bengals to the surrounding community, by using the appeal of the players' to help the different organizations around Cincinnati. Blackburn has over 20 years of experience in professional football and she was the first woman to be a chief contract negotiator in the NFL.
