My favorite teams
According to the 2010 census 12.1% of the total population of the US is made up of people who identify as 'black or African-american'.
There are currently four African-American head coaches: Mike Tomlin (Pittsburgh Steelers), Jim Caldwell (Detroit Lions), Lovie Smith (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Marvin Lewis (Cincinnati Bengals). African-American coaches comprise 13% of all coaching positions in the NFL.
The number of African-American General Managers increased to 7 from 6 in 2013.The following teams have African-American General Managers: Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants and Houston Texans. African-American General Managers comprise 24% of all General Manager positions in the NFL.
African-American players currently comprise 67.3% of the league’s players.
Seems to me that HC's and GM's are fairly represented per the national demographics... Maybe it's time that we start a rule to help Non African-American's become players in the NFL. There is a clearly a racial bias that favors African-American players over others. <- See how stupid that looks?
I'll say it again... NFL is about performance. Anyone who disagrees IMO is either ignorant or has a hidden agenda.

The U.S. pop. / national demographics has zero to do with " the NFL pop"
Do u honestly believe 4 non-white HC's are the ONLY qualified ppl. to be HC's when the league is probably closer to 70 % non-white. I guess we need nore HC's like Marc Trestman. I see u avoided the "decision-making positions on the field.

Didn't u just see me arguing for more white HB's & CB's
U know, I really don't like having these discussions. U brought "NFL fairness" up with JDB_219 and I shouldn't have jumped in.
Read this article on Fritz Pollard and George Halas.....there's something in here about the Decatur Staleys
