MERGED: Diversity Group Upset With Mueller Hiring

[dolfan_101]

THis minority CRAP makes me SICK!!! No hispanic head coaches in the NFL AT ALL-and you don't hear me saying anything. I hate conspiracy MORONS!!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly, i don't complain about not having any hispanics.

 

[PHINZONER]

Not one native american or Asian coach either!

 

[painnotpleasure]

There's no female coaches in the NFL either. :goof:

The minority thing is so stupid...like the rule that says we have to interview atleast one minority before we sign a white coach. Thats bull if the minority is good enough then he'll get offers to be signed...but if hes crap then why should he even get an offer. Just like Art Shell...we clearly were targetting saban and signed him...waste of Shell's and Are time

There is a guideline that states that a team must work-out a white player for the cornerback position before a black player is given the job. Seth McKinney is listed on the cornerback depth chart to fulfill this requirement.

But it's good in a way for you guys to see how minorities have felt for so long...it's not a good feeling, is it.

Most of us, and most of the minorities weren't even alive when half the shl+ they complain about happened. I shouldn't have to pay for something that was done before I was ever born. Someone want to explain the logic in that mode of thinking ?

If everyone just shut the heck up, and listened to Bill Cosby, things would be much easier.

I don't think anyone here wants my opinion on the minority situation in this country. If anything, what people refer to as the minority.... they have more rights than the white man. But I won't get started w/ taxes ... rights and everything else. Dolphins didn't mean one damn thing by it... period.

Okay. Here is one for you all. Since African American refers to a race. What about the contenent????? I have a friend of mine who was born in Kenya, then moved here to California. Is he African-American??? Is he just Africa??
HERE IS THE PROBLEM......HE's WHITE.

I guess that would make my friend the first white African American, wait....there is Michael Jackson.

Pedophiles are exempt!

we are talking about now not 200 years ago...its chit like this that keeps racism alive.....

I want a owner of a business to interview me because of my intelligence not my skin color........

Reread my post, we're talking about now..not 200 years ago..it just started over 200 year ago...READ first then respond.
:shakeno:

I understand that. But in the same token, you look at the minority coaches that have been hired lately, and you know it is not from a race stand point, rather it is from doing and being part of something really great for a peroid of time. That shows that if a coach can maximize his players potential w/ the # of changes in todays game regardless of race, than he will eventually get that chance.Head Coaches do give those referrals to others for the progrees of those like Marvin and Romeo. Those two showed a knack for being able to adapt and still remain great on their side of the ball. You have to remember that a large # of white players do not excel at the level of their black counter-part, thus leaving the only viable option for those w/ a significant interest in staying w/ the game is to head into coaching much earlier than the ones that go on to play 10-15 years. Thus giving a larger # of white player/coaches that much more time to study the game as a whole. That is not to say that a black man is guarnteed anything more than a white man as far as success in the Nfl but it is a #s' game and they lean towards the blalcks as players and white as coaches. I hope I am getting my point across w/o a bunch of mumble???? Does this make sense to you?

I understand what you're saying, and I do tend to agree with a lot of it..I guess at this point, ppl still see a slave\owner visual...and I'm also guessing that now that there's a lot of ex players out there, more minorities want to try the admin side of the house too..but good point, never a simple answer, is there?

Denzel, Sam Jackson, Will Smith, ect. All good actors, but they aren't going to work on a "primetime" sitcom at night. These people are movie actors. I used to like Chris Rock until I watched his stand up comedy. All the guy does is talk bad about white people. Let a white comic get up there and do nothing but make fun of black people the crap would hit the fan. He would be sued from every black organization in the US.

yet another example of the one way street a lot of "minorities" like to ride on

 

[ryancall32]

WTF? This is getting out of hand. We're about to have a race war here on FINHEAVEN. I think that as long as people refer to themselves as African-Americans or European-Americans, or Mexican-Americans or whatever other terms they want to use it will continue to create cracks in the foundations of our society. I am 1/2 Italian and 1/2 Ukranian. Does that make me an Italian-Ukranian-American? No! I have never been to either country. I am an American! Color of skin should not matter, African-American, please! How many people who call themselves that have ever been to Africa? You are American! Enjoy being American, there are millions of people out there that wish they could live here and be free!

word up!

Not exactly there are some whites to talk bad about blacks in comedy, come to DC, believe it or not. Of all places that's the last place I expected to see that..But there's way more examples of the street going the other way...really think about that...think about it in your personal life.

Overly eager to respond you failed to read, think and then respond. I misspelled the word to set off a reaction, so that I could introduce my point. Sorry for the confusion, scholar. Fine word$$ hiding behind a chat room name.

You set off a reaction alright. Further proof of your idioticity (how's that for misspelling a word to "set off a reaction"?).

 

[ryancall32]

You made a mistake and can't admit it, and you did make up a name just for this thread... Face it, YOU ARE AN IDIOT

hahaha. right on d-phreak!
