Perhaps Lapchick should step aside for DIEversity purposes. No, he wants someone else to pay the price.

I don’t care what the “Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport “ says, diversity is not in skin color or what “plumbing” you have.

Nothing is truly diverse until it is 100% black.

How many women coaches in the NFL? What is the relevance of your question?

What about us short, fat, old, slow, fumble prone guys?
I say we are vastly under represented!
I think I’ll file a class action suit (unless some team wants to hire me to warm the bench...at minimum NFL salary, of course).

Yeah - I noticed they have a few white guys this year.I'm a 60-year-old white guy with 4 broken ribs, trifocals, and weighing in at 6'5", 175 lbs.
I don't notice any of my "bruthas" in the NFL.
What's the deal?

By any logical definition the NFL is the epitome of racism.

This country,and every lawful resident of it,is best served by a pure meritocracy in every aspect in life.If,in such a nation,the entire Board of Directors of Microsoft are half black,half Mexican lesbians so be it.If the entire graduating class of MIT are Asian males,so be it.
On the general subject of "diversity" I recall having seen a photo of the attendees at a press conference of doctors involved with BillyBob's open heart surgery.I don't recall seeing a single female or a single "person of color" at this press conference.But who knows,maybe the folks that cleaned the OR before the surgery were "of color".

What is the relevance of your question?
His relevance is a sarcastic take on why is diversity important. Why is race such a determining factor as to what is diverse. Why is diversity so good?
Maybe I'm wrong.
To: ConservativeStatement
I hear the top journalists in the country are overwhelmingly white... Maybe CBS can look into it for us... (don’t hold your breath ....)

I recall not too many years ago where a female journalist said that the future of sports was minorities playing it, women as journalists and execs and white males as the paying customer. Seriously, these libs need help.
To: ConservativeStatement
Gee, I’m sorry. I missed it. Which team has a white starting halfback? Hmmmmm. Hey, how about that NBA. They had to go all the way to China to find a yellow guy. How many white guys START in the NBA compared to BLACKs vs the percent per capita????????????????? Of course NO ONE watches the NBA unless you want to see who was recently arrested for rape, murder, adultery, children out of wedlock, or carrying a loaded weapon.
