I feel like this is pointless to try and argue with someone I feel is unwilling to listen, but here goes.
1) what you are describing is nepotism not racism...
2) Experience alone does not make someone qualified for a job....
3) players and coaches have vastly different jobs and require entirely different skill sets...
4) this policy is classic window dressing...
If the owners are racist they won’t pass it. If they aren’t racist they might, but it likely changes nothing because they weren’t racist to begin with. Either way they will point to the outcome they come to as being the non racist one
This type of spin is one reason this country need a HEAVY dose of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION in every sector of the economy. As long as people pollute the airwaves with affirmation of racism with silly arguments as Nepotism, Experience is not everything, jobs are different, blah blah blah will prevent any minority person for equal opportunities they clearly earned.

Cheese Tiger doesn’t have a problems with African Americans and other minorities serving in the armed services, performing in the sports arena for the local sports teams. In his opinion, they should stick to playing football and forget about the executive positions that shape the structure of the franchise. He imputed further in his assessment that coaching and the skill mix of the GM required a different set of skills and I don’t take offense to that comment but what I do take exception to is the minorities are into capable to assessing to those levels? Such logic is laughable at best.

Tell me what I said that inaccurate.
Jobs ARE different.
Experience ISN’T everything.
Nepotism/Cronyism IS a problem. Particularly in Louisiana which is kind of famous for it.
The actual problem is people pointing at things and calling them racist when in actuality they are not. This allows actual prejudice to hide in the shadows while other people bicker about semantic differences in words.
Prejudice lives in everyone, but to point at every prejudice and call it racist Is ridiculous. As long as we don’t call things out for what they really are nothing will get better.

In the entire History of the Internet, there are very few statements as wrong as this one.
