When the Rooney Rule was adopted by the NFL in 2003, Troy Vincent was in his 12th of 15 seasons as an outstanding defensive back. He was soon to become the president of the NFL Players Association, an impactful position he held for four years.
He joined the league office in 2010 as vice president of player engagement, and by 2014 Vincent was in charge of NFL football operations. Vincent, who is Black, had made great strides in the sport.
Yet he knows the Rooney Rule, designed to advance opportunities for minorities in such areas as coaching and front office positions, hasn’t been having the desired effect. Earlier this month, the NFL implemented a seven-point mobility plan that it projects will enhance such chances and lead to more diversity throughout a league in which about 70% of the players are minorities.

how about more whitey players?...that would be a start....
I am waiting for them to address diversity on the playing rosters. Now there is very little.
And some Asians.
Creepy.
So?
So NFL which blind quarterback will you be hiring?
In plain English, affirmative action NFL style. To the NFL, excuse me while I go watch some paint dry.
Amusing isn't it
hurry ... pull that handle again .. flush harder!
I’m waiting on them to address diversity in the ownership of teams.
Makes me furious that people on our side still watch this phony NFL tripe. It is rigged too.
The people still watching it probably post stuff about growing a pair.
I have one in my family and it irritates me.
10% of the players must be gay - or they all must be gay, 10% of the time.
See how they like that, three nights a month.
The NFL had too many white viewers, so I have volunteered to help them achieve their diversity goals by keeping my dirty racist eyeballs off of their product. :)
Why does anyone still watch the NFL, NBA, or Noosecar anymore ?
They’re nothing but political platforms for TV networks.
Support them, and you’re supporting their socialist objectives.

When you can’t earn your position in life the old fashioned way
force someone to give it to you
So once you remove any chance of a white person having success in the sport, and you continue spitting on the flag and punishing those who wont, the nfl will be just like the nba. Only followed by a small minority of the country and shunned as thugs by everyone else.
How about they just let the teams hire the guy who they think is best? if a “diversity target” has any real talent then that person will inevitably rise to the top. They don’t need affirmative action
