I’m neutral as well on this issue but if the NFL wants a more diverse coaching and ownership population using the draft is not the right way to go about it. The draft order should be about the previous season’s record and nothing else.
Totally agree. I’m not involved with the NFL other than being a fan so it’s difficult for me to say how fair it is. I’d like to believe it’s more fair than it probably is, but it’s also easy to not think about it since we were one of the first franchises to have a black head coach.
One thing that really pissed me off when reading about this (and I don’t remember where I read this) but the Bengals were included in teams that didn’t hire a black coach. The Bengals were then criticized for hiring Zac because of his lack of experience compared to the black candidates out there. Tried to make us sound racist and it offended the hell out of me. The Bengals have been very fair from my vantage point. Trying to slander us like that still drives me mad.
Trying to give teams an advantage in the draft or on the field is a shame in my opinion. I really hope this doesn’t end up happening.
