At the start of the 2022 football season, every team in the NFL will be required to hire a diverse person as an offensive assistant. Said person must be a minority or a female. Merit will not be considered.
Beginning this upcoming season, all 32 NFL teams will be required to hire a “diverse person” to serve as an offensive assistant on their coaching staff.
The NFL announced Monday that the new rule is in place to improve diversity within the head coaching pipeline. The NFL’s definition of a diverse person is any “female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority.” This person must have at least three years of coaching experience at the collegiate or professional level to qualify.
Okay, so whites need not apply? That sounds extraordinarily racist, but what else would you expect from the NFL?
The subject of minorities being considered for head coaching vacancies has been one of the main talking points during the NFL offseason. It was amplified after now Steelers defensive assistant Brian Flores accused the Giants of bringing him in for an interview when they already had a hire in place and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offering to pay him more money to tank during the 2019 season when he was the head coach in Miami.
Brian Flores made $3 million during the 2022 season, but yeah, look how oppressed he is.
Black players represent 70% of the league, while white players comprise 28%. If you’re looking for diversity, how about hiring more white coaching assistants? Oh, we can’t do that, because of white privilege… or something.

They simply refuse to allow me to just sit back and enjoy a game.
It’s hard enough to watch a game that appears to be just interrupting all the commercials but the woke crap makes it even worse.

Veeshir – Kyle and Erik love watching football. I’d rather not, but even they think the NFL sucks anymore with the wokeness.
Cathy – Hopefully enough people stop watching that the league starts losing money.

Women! Women make up 0% of the NFL Players! That is blatant discrimination!

Tom Brady should demand the Buccaneers hire Gisele. About time she earns her keep again.

Who wouldn’t want to look at her for three hours on the sidelines?

Hell’s bells. What am I going to do with a closet full (literally) of Steelers clothing? All those autographed jerseys? All the black and gold paraphernalia? I mean really. Just when I thought I could look forward to a #7 free season (you know who I’m talking about and I wasn’t a fan of his), this crap comes out. It makes the handshakes from Jack Ham and Rocky Bleier seem worthless now.

Victoria – I wouldn’t put this on the older players. This is all Roger Goodell and the new woke NFL. Most of the current players are all in for diversity, defunding the police, and hating America. The Eagles, specifically, are all in for defunding and hating America, which is why I despise them so.

How I long for the days when players sat on their helmets and smoked on the sidelines, their hands and forearms covered with Stickum. When Terry Bradshaw (THE ONLY TB 12) called his own plays, when Jack Lambert smashed and Joe Greene was mean and chugging Coca-Cola.

I think those days are gone forever. The country changed – thanks, Obama – and I doubt it’s ever coming back.
