I just hate that people make race an issue so so often when in many instances it is not an issue. I mean there are major rumblings and complaints that Pres. Obama doesnt have minorities in his cabinet. I mean enough already. We seem to cry wolf so many times that sometimes real racism which obviously still exists, gets ignored.
I just think the NFL is such a results oriented league that is a GM or owner thinks a coach can help them win he wouldn't be dumb enough to jeopardize his investment, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, because a coach is a minority. What do you guys think?
