"They made Marvin Lewis just the seventh Black head coach in NFL history, and helped Leslie Frazier, Hue Jackson and Vance Joseph on the path to that rare fraternity. Jackson was the rare Black offensive coordinator when he held that position in Cincinnati in 2014 and 2015. Katie Blackburn, the Bengals executive vice president and daughter of current owner Mike Brown, chaired the NFL’s diversity committee.
The Bengals were so intentional about breaking down barriers for coaches of color that the Fritz Pollard Alliance, a non-profit organization that champions diversity in the NFL, even gave Blackburn an award for the family’s efforts"
So that same person randomly become discriminatory and racist in a few years? No other factors could there be.
We know it's not true but we call you racist anyway because that's how we get leverage over people.
Hugh Jackson was pretty clearly the heir apparent to Marvin Lewis before he decided to jump ship for Cleveland. It seems like we probably got lucky on that one. He would probably still be our coach right now and experience suggests that he lacked some ingredient necessary for the top position.
Likewise they tried to hang on to Vance Joseph and seemed to have him in mind as a future DC.
It's funny that we're even trusting this activist nitwit to do the math correctly. "23.81% coaches of color" would mean that we have 5.0001 coaches of color by their numbers.
It's more than a little gross to say that you "independently verified their racial identification."
