Why the hell are people like this even listened to? When he first went to the NFL and had this stupid arse idea that teams should be forced to look at minority coaches, why didn't they just tell him to frick off? And now he's changing a testing system the NFL has used for 40 years to make it "socio-economically equal" whatever the hell that means, and the NFL agrees? Again, why not just tell him to go away?

The NFL understands that having more data/ways to evaluate prospects is a good thing.

Good companies don't stick with something just because that's way it's been for 40 years.

So what are they doing to make questions like below less biased?

Assume the first two statements are true. Is the final one:

1. true, 2. false, 3. not certain?

The boy plays baseball. All baseball players wear hats. The boy wears a hat.

Assume the first two statements are true. Is the final one:

1. true, 2. false, 3. not certain?

The homie plays basketball. All basketball players wear shorts. The boy wears a pair of shorts.

Three individuals form a drug ring and agree to divide the profits equally. X invests 9 kilos of cocaine, Y invests 7 kilos of cocaine, Z invests 4 kilos of cocain. If the profits are $400,000, how much less does X receive than if the profits were divided in proportion to the amount invested?
