Quote:For the most part, the Rooney Rule is a giant wast of time and a slap in the face for black coaches. Teams usually have a pretty good idea of which coaches they want.

 

There are many qualified white coaches that never got a chance. Can you prove that it was because they were white / black? I can't. 

 

There are truths that we can't deny. There are likely more successful white coaches than black ones. There are more successful white quarterbacks than black ones. There are more successful black receivers than white ones. There are more successful black defensive backs than white ones. Why do we cry "injustice" about one and not the other? 

 

So you are saying no disparities exist between black and white coaches? You truly believe that both have a level playing field? If there was a level playing field it would stand to reason that their would be more black headcoaches in professional sports and in college. Are blacks and other minorities just not as qualified? Why aren't they qualified? Is it lack of education, is it access to opportunities to display their head coaching skill? What is it? I would like to know why coaching in general is so skewed to whites? This is the reality, right, or am I dreaming? 

 

On white QBs vs black QBs? Why is this so? Is it because blacks cannot play the position? Is it because whites are superior? Is it because coaches generally ask their black players to use their athleticism as opposed to developing into competent passers, while white QBs who are generally less athletic are developed into legitimate passers? There is another question. Why are so many skill position players black and so few white? Is it because whites are simply not as gifted athletically, or because blacks spend more time developing their athleticism and pursuing the dream of playing in the NFL, NBA, in contrast to whites? 

 

In terms of coaching I think there are still barriers that exist. 

 

In terms of players its simply a game of numbers. Football and basketball are predominately black because more black kids are choosing to play those sports at a young age. It's not necessarily an issue of a talent disparity between whites and blacks.
