    Anyone else finding the irony in the OP complaining about the Rooney rule, and then citing an example that’s not the Rooney rule as evidence of his contempt?

    I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess trump supporter.

    There doesnt need to be any alternative. Head coaches, GM's, players should be picked based on skill, not on race. If minorities are underrepresented in headcoaching, its not because of race, its because of skills. No different, than the players......The most qualified player, GM, head coach will get hired based on skill, not because of the color of their skin. Also the logic that its a bunch of racist owners, does not hold up, because if there were racist owners, they wouldnt be hiring GM's and HC's that are picking predominantly minority players. Minority players are over represented. The idea that teams are racist, is completely made up........most of all though, if a team is racist, THEY WONT WIN MANY GAMES AND THEIR PRODUCT WILL SUFFER. Racist teams will miss out on good head coaches, GM's, and players. Money speaks, you can't afford to be racist in the NFL.

    Pacific Islanders ???? You mean Hawaiians ???

    Well, what about Polish-Americans ? How about Chinese-Americans ? Jews ? Evangelical Christians ?

    Where does it end ?

    And I repeat...how come the 49ers got the draft pick and not US ??? :D

    The logic doesnt hold up. Non-Minority players are underrepresented, so should teams that draft non-minoritiy players be given draft picks?

    None of this makes any sense, if you think the NFL is racist you are a fool. The majority of the people on the field each Sunday are minorities.

    Saleh is categorized as a Rooney Rule hire, even though I have never seen Lebanese-Americans or Muslims being referred to as a group in need of more represenetation.

    That he qualified for it is proof that the RR is a farce.

    What the hell? The fact he is the 1st Muslim HC and a person that is not white is important. The game has been deep rooted with issues a the senior management level, it is clear minorities have not had the same fair play for years.

    This thread sucks ass and it feels like you are trying build up sympathy for loss of white privilege.

    The fact you think Pacific Islanders only includes Hawaii just magnifies your ignorance.

    Are whites and Asians given "fair play" given that they are 98% of the ticket buyers but only 30% of the players ?

    I don't worry about things that don't exist. :D

    San Francisco is going to be given a HUGE ADVANTAGE in trading for eithe Watson or Stafford with the three 3rd-round picks. Mercury News speculating that the picks could be the difference in beating out the Colts or another team for one of the veteran QB's.

    Unreal....

    The fact that they are being focused on at all is the matter here, not my alleged "ignorance." Clearly, you know nothing about how poisonous these policies are and how they are going to boomerang badly in coming years.

    But for sure, tell us how to increase the % of those from Guam and American Somoa among the coaching and playing ranks......:D

    I haven't ridiculed minority coaches, I've defended them.

    Also now you are accusing me of having a swatisika, when I already explained it's a bitcoin? Are you a Nazi or something ?

    Not a good look.

    I've already explained to him it's a bitcoin, so now he is intentionally trying to cause problems.
