There\u2019s a popular narrative that the National Football League is basically incapable of doing anything right.\u00a0 And that the financial bulldozer that they ultimately still are, is completely in spite of the general lack of ethics, competent leadership and all of the just in general inability to not keep doing stupid shit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Players want to celebrate touchdowns and look like they\u2019re having fun?\u00a0 Those are penalties.\u00a0 A player who is on injured inactive status wants to bet on some football games?\u00a0 That\u2019s an exiling.\u00a0 But multiple players who were caught, have video evidence, or were found guilty of domestic violence?\u00a0 2-4 game suspension.\u00a0 A Muslim player kneels after a touchdown?\u00a0 Penalty.\u00a0 Tim Tebow kneels after scoring a touchdown?\u00a0 Hero.<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, the list can go on for an embarrassingly long time, regardless of the fact that the NFL is a veritable money printer.\u00a0 Regardless of the fact that I don\u2019t have the time to indulge in as much sports as I used to or liked to, the NFL doesn\u2019t exactly make itself particularly compelling or attractive to want to pay any attention to, even if I had the capacities to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, the NFL made a public amendment<\/a> to what has been called the Rooney Rule, which was already basically the NFL\u2019s version of Affirmative Action, where teams are basically PR strong-armed into having minorities somewhere on the coaching staff.\u00a0 And up until this amendment, just about every person of color ends up being a defensive coordinator, which depending on the reputation of the team, might either be a really important role, or a really insignificant one.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the amendment states basically, that a minority must be added to the offensive<\/em> staff, and also now includes that women can be implemented in order to fulfill these obligated positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

So just like that, the NFL has basically admitted that defensive coordinators are mostly patsy positions, and that they\u2019ve been stashing all of their mandatory minorities in them.\u00a0 And now they\u2019re trying to rectify it, as well as backhand placate women, by amending the Rooney Rule, to include more minorities and\/or women onto the more glamorous offensive side of coaching.<\/span><\/p>\n

Already, the public acknowledgment of all this is embarrassing enough, but because the NFL can\u2019t do anything right, I can already see what\u2019s going to happen: a whole lot of bogus bullshit positions are going to magically materialize, and they\u2019re going to immediately be filled by minorities and\/or women.\u00a0 Or, there will be some team that\u2019s extra ambitious, and fill them with black women, and go for that double whammy of Rooney Requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n
