I never said you said anything about being racist. You did. I just said I love imagined racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue will be if they don't win enough. Sure they would. It would be statistically impossible if that happened and there was no bias.

That said, is this was the NFL people would question it. They would throw out some percentages on demographics and it would raise an eyebrow or two. Just being very honest.

There is an absolute zero percent chance anybody makes a thread on this board about a mostly black coaching staff and complaining about it.

Then why didn't you title the thread "lack of diversity" instead of "all white coaching staff". You immediately brought race in play with the title of the thread. Practice what you preach big guy.

You're so delusional Maybe not say anything but they would be thinking it. If Deion had an all black staff everyone here (including me) would be giving him the side eye. There are white players too. I bet their parents would notice. 2 minutes ago, WhoRUSF said: There is an absolute zero percent chance anybody makes a thread on this board about a mostly black coaching staff and complaining about it.

So far, it’s all white guys. If this is the coaching staff he is assembling, how is he going to convince black parents to send him their kids? IMO this doesn’t appear to be an inclusive coaching staff especially since he is planning on leading a team full of black players. Look my Haitian a$$ wanted BJM as the DC. It didnt happen. I've noticed the lack of diversity as well, but we have had a black head coach with a mostly black staff that the players hated (CCS). In the end, the players want to win. And whoever gets them there is who they will be ok with. If it makes you feel better, according to a few blogs, these 3 black coaches will be added to our staff. 7. RB– Matt Merritt8.

I would see zero problem if Sanders did that. I simply disagree that every group in society needs to be perfectly representative of demographics at all time. Your focus is clearly not where it needs to be. On a rarely talked about aspect of that issue, maybe there is a chance of synergy with people of similar cultures? On the flip side, maybe it leads to comfortability which can be negative. I don't actually know the answer here, but neither do you. At the end of the day, society is trying to get rid itself of actual racism. And when you complain every time a group is not a direct representation of demographics, it honestly makes race relations worse. People start conflating actual racism with this type of micro management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
