HUNTERS LAPTOP ?????
Head coaches need to win, does not matter if you are black or white, stop complaining. Herm Edwards had chances in the NFL and he did not win. Mike Tomlin and Tony Dungy won and they are very respected head coaches. Professional football is very competitive and you have to win or you will lose your job, it's very simple.
Time for that 70% Black players to exert their legal and social muscle.
What do we have to do? Make every coach in the NFL, a head coach. This is a joke. You hire the best available. Not the fist minority you can. This is why affirmative action was so bad. You can't force hiring of people who aren't highly qualified. It's no a black, white thing. It's a who's best for the job. Get a life. Most times you get what you earn.
Commercials like Ring and other home security products lack of diversity! Especially the bad guy.
Who cares about the coach's race … what you want is your team winning games ! 🙂
MAN NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM EDWARDS!!!! TALK OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF HIS FACE!!!!😆😆😆ðŸ˜â€
Stop hiring people based on merit.
This segment is another example of systemic misogyny. The minimum pay for an NFL player with 0 years of experienceâ€â€even benchwarmersâ€â€is $610k PER GAME. The maximum pay for an NFL cheerleader is $400 (and they had to sue in 2019 to make that much). Cheerleaders are also professional athletes, many with more than 20 years of gymnastics, cheer, and dance training, who are selected through a highly competitive process involving thousands of competitors. They train for hours every day. Many are injured during their careers. And they generate millions upon millions of dollars for the NFL. Yet they make less money per game than the popcorn vendors.
These cheerleaders are a mix of white, black, and brown women. Why doesn’t ABC even mention this issue of disparity? Why do female professional athletes who are integral to the NFL’s profitability make 1,525 times LESS than a male benchwarmer?
Herm is gay
Jesus loves you ,Please repent because He is coming soon
Like so more people can see this.
NBA: silently fades away when someone talks about diversity in other sports.
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
Matthew 23 NIV
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
"If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land."
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
In the New Heaven and New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
Shame on you all fake news
It is all about (white) power, plain and simple.
Um, I think every person on the field is colored…… now it’s not diversified if the coach also isn’t colored? I think this news channel is racist for making this a topic of discussion.
Racial diversity? Well here you've got a pink skinned guy.
Same old song .. give that b.s. a rest…do you teally think they wont hire the best coach…
The college coaching stats aren’t that far off from the population percentage of blacks
Lmao what a joke
If black people/players/fans really want change they would come together and boycott the NFL.
I’m black I’m tired this other blacks talking about this like did we ever see first Asian coach or Mexican Arab and indian
Hope America finally comes to peace,. Ladies and gentlemen, sorry that my text is off topic! .. I am from Russia, I live in Siberia, I am 63 years old, I position myself as an Inventor! For obvious reasons, my know-how did not find popularity in Russia, in a country where 50% of the budget is formed from fossil fuels, my invention is doomed to be forgotten! I hope for caring business people who are not indifferent to the environment and nature. My power take-off rotor (conveyor type) will allow you to obtain energy from water flow (rivers, sea currents) on an industrial scale, using my underwater power plants without a dam, will help you avoid burning: coal, gas, oil, atom … I am looking for a sponsor. … investor (non-proprietary), my address is: genapopovgena2018genady@yandex.ru …. It's great if my message reaches the office of President Bidon, who cares for the environment!
Diversity is a joke. So is affirmative action. . If you can’t earn it you don’t get losers

Players need to be more diverse, majority black
That white guy speaks truth to power
Civil rights movements fought to end racism and bring equality and eliminate the need of color to determine the good and skill in a person these reports are doing the complete opposite of that and focusing only on color and not only that but primarily bashing Caucasians for practically existing or whenever they hold even a slight majority in a group of any sorts this isn’t equality this is segregation by appeasement to the racially biased African American racists who hold a high stance in the public eye due to them not being paid any attention to because “African Americans cant be racist†is another news outlets favorite defense for being lazy and too scared or too ignorant to be unbiased and look at the truth in a situation
Calling for "lack of diversity" based on race is RACISM.
Its also fueling more racism by assumimg and supporting the idea that race is what people should care for instead of management skills.
No one fucking asked.
To me aney sports is a JOKE and is UTTER And complete Garbage it is all about big Money🤦
But they need to make all sports pay per View & imperson tickets and hire the most Qualified personal NOT the most diverse group
this movement to Make thing look like a rainbow is just STUPID !!!
Most Qualified personal NOT the most diverse🤦🤦🤦
Yes I hear you absolutely lol
What about the lack of white NBA players? I think its racist.
Fucking idiots and useless media
Regarding Biden's racial preference business relief, I have a friend who's a business owner with her husband and a female minority, but her husband is a white male. Will she be canceled and lose her business because of her husband?
Mike Tomlin would've been sacked already if he was white, because of the culture that has infested the Pittsburgh Steelers at the moment.
I’m mad there aren’t more white players.. why is it almost 70% black athletes… do I sounds racist…
Trump won the election 🗳 The election was stolen. Many Are Getting Arrested 👮ðŸÂ½â€Â♂ï¸Â
What about the lack of diversity at all black colleges or all black fraternities.what about sororities? Trans men should be in sororities like AKA
Are black people the only ones who see colour anymore??….
I’m black and I feel like this is getting blown way out of proportion.
It is truly amazing how this network is able to create a « problem » out of almost ANYTHING!!
So what happened to ability, experience and history in the sport?? That does not count anymore? This is a colossal libtard waste of time and energy! The talking heads only have their backsides on both ends of their bodies!!
