You are entirely correct about the 50's and early 60s. I'm not sure about the 70s, though, as the NFL was pretty thoroughly integrated by then.I seriously doubt that there will be an influx of Black hockey players clamoring to get into the NHL anytime soon, or even in the distant future, no matter how much "the left" lobbies for it. The same goes for golf, and NASCAR
However, being that close to 70% of the players in the NFL are Black, it is understandable that there would be people wanting to see more Black coaches in the sport.
That being said, the current numbers don't lie.
No matter how much anyone is insisting that more Black coaches be placed, and the growing number of those that see them being placed as marginalizing White coaching candidates, the number appointed has remained consistent for years.
As far as so called "free stuff", I am old enough to recall when the NFL was predominately White, and the Black players that came into the sport in the 50's and 60's, and even the early 70's were definately not chosen because they were the mandated recipients of anything that was "free".
I was referring to the early 70's. Although considerable progress had been made by then, there was still a resistance to Black quarterbacks in the NFL, and of course, a Black head coach would have been out of the question within that era.You are entirely correct about the 50's and early 60s.

Today, the NFL is as close to a meritocracy as we have in this country which is as it SHOULD be in all other facets of our society. It's all about talent.
The problem with woke, however, is that it is not about merit at all. It assails the vet notion of a meritocracy.
There are a LOT more black quarterbacks at the college level these days.I was referring to the early 70's.

The general sentiment was that they lacked the mental acuity to perform in those positions.
I was personally told that by a former NFL quarterback as well as a hall of fame receiver, and a high school coach of mine who played in the NFL as a defensive end during the early 70's.
As far as all facets of society, I would generally agree that the NFL rewards and pays their players based more on individual performance and ability than other professions where it matters more WHO one knows as opposed to WHAT one knows.
Agreed. There are some excellent QB prospects in the college ranks regardless of race. I'm particularly impressed by Stetson Bennett.There are a LOT more black quarterbacks at the college level these days.
Caleb Williams certainly looks can't miss to me.
I'd look to DeMeco Ryans as a strong head coaching candidate for next year as well.
Good point,if anything that indicates the nfl as always discriminates against blacks,there is not one black nfl owner,nobody can tell me there is not discrimination against blacks in the nfl as coach’s and owners.Since you are identifying the NFL as a example of racial favoritism being extended to Black coaches, and claiming this is marginalizing potential White coaches, have you actually looked at how many Black head coaches are in the NFL?
There are exactly 3 Black head coaches out of 32 teams.
Mathematically, that is not indicative of favoritism towards Black head coaches.
Has the niners defense been bad katsteve2012Agreed. There are some excellent QB prospects in the college ranks regardless of race. I'm particularly impressed by Stetson Bennett.
His performance in the national championship against TCU was one of the best that I've ever seen.
The way that the 49ers defense has been playing should definitely earn Ryans some consideration.. They are absolutely one of the top defensive teams in the NFL.
They can suck all they want.. but they aren't racist for firing coaches who reside over horrible records.The Texans have been mismanaged since they were formed. Even when they finally pull out a win in the end, they lose.
Translation: "I Opposed ALL racism during the civil rights, but now I support it to support previous victims... it makes me feel virtuous, warm, and fuzzy. I'm such an awesome person"Nothing wrong with considering someone worthy of being on the Supreme Court, no matter where they came from.
Try to explain some on the Right insisting in dividing the races by making sure that some races will not get to vote, get health care, good jobs, good housing.
Cry me an Ocean, Dogmaphobe, cry me all of the Oceans.
I'm sure you know all of the circumstances around every ownership in the NFL... keep your CRT racism to yourself.Good point,if anything that indicates the nfl as always discriminates against blacks,there is not one black nfl owner,nobody can tell me there is not discrimination against blacks in the nfl as coach’s and owners.
Like Dogma stated, you think black people are stupid. We believe in their ability to easily attain what they need to vote. You're the one who thinks they can't do things because of their skin color.Nobody????
Voter suppression in all of the Republican governed States.
I fantasize all right. Reality keeps hitting me in the face with all the voter suppression bills Republicans have passed in the past six years.
And the irony is that the party he supports is the very same that held the racist laws that he supposedly opposes today.One consistent pattern in your simplistic dogma is that you act as if it is still 1960.
They have had a good season. Right now, I think they have the best defense in the NFCHas the niners defense been bad katsteve2012
Maholmes sure ate them up earlier in the year, though. They weren't at full strength, then, but if the Niners defense has a weakness, it is with highly mobile quarterbacks.They have had a good season. Right now, I think they have the best defense in the NFC
Yeah, the coaches before the last two were so much more successful. They have been Raider-esque without the hope that springs eternal (usually) in Raider land.Another Racist poster showing their racists colors.
Too many of them doing the same thing on these threads.
Far Left.....Blacks.....Blacks......Far Left....
They can suck all they want.. but they aren't racist for firing coaches who reside over horrible records.
That's CRT/Democrat stuff.
who is first Rocko ? dont say Belicheat or you have ZERO credibility. facts prove he is a shit coach without brady.the one year he won without him was a fluke,he had randy moss one of the top three best recievers ever to make him look good that year.I don’t care what color the coach is. Mike Tomlin is black and probably is the second best coach in the NFL.
