The NFL's push for diversity is growing.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Thursday at the first NFL Women's Summit that the so-called Rooney Rule will expand to women for all executive positions.
The rule -- named after Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney -- requires that NFL teams interview a diverse group of candidates. For example, teams are required to interview a minority candidate whenever there is a head coach opening.
"We're going to make that commitment, and we're going to formalize that we as a league are going to do that for women as well as in all of our executive positions," Goodell said.

This is great. Where are the qualified candidates coming from?
For the first time in my life, my wife has in the past year watched more professional sports than I have. Which isn’t necessarily hard to do, since I’ve watched virtually zero.
They’re called secretary!
Next is gay/LGBT...
Since women could never make it on their own.
Pray America wakes
Interview Condoleeza Rice.
Two birds with one stone.
Then pick the coach you want.
What a load of absolute crap.
Women don’t know football and they don’t play football and they have no clue about football.
And maybe male front office types don’t either but damn...you are increasing the ignorant quotient when you delve into pool the definitely do not know or understand the game.
The Day-twah Lions from North Windsor are “light-years” progressive!
They have [spit] Margaret (Maggie) Ford [spit].
They won’t be the least bit serious until half the players on the field every second are women.
Sure...but what “gladiator-sport” will replace it?
Bread and circuses
them there’s some pretty boys...!
It’s called MMA!
:: Flag football ::
I am somewhat agreed, but you have an extra ‘L’ in your post...the first one should be omitted.
It ain’t ^flag^ football, brother...
If the NFL was serious about equality, they would require females on the field. It has already been PROVEN by the U.S. Army that females are good as men on the battlefield, even in close quarter combat.
“Between the push for more women and gays in the league, as well as the 24/7 coverage of the life changing injury stories suffered by former players, the NFL is in its final years. I give it less than 15 years.”
Limbaugh said they would legislate football out of existence. The NFL is drek. I have been a huge fan for nearly 50 years. I can barely watch my own team anymore, and I think your 15 year prediction may be generous.
So when do they start interviewing two-headed albinos???
