DEI is DEAD, is the Rooney Rule next?

NFL reportedly eliminates 'End Racism' slogan in back of Super Bowl end zone


Well, it appears all of societies problems have been solved, because the NFL is removing "End Racism" from each end of the field for the Super Bowl.

That's nice, all racism is now gone, so, you can stop using the term.

Or could it be they are seeing the big picture?

And awakening to the fact PEOPLE ARE SICK OF THIS SHIT!

I mean, at this rate, Tomlin is gone, as, the Rooney Rule is now obsolete.

Couple it with his poor performances the last decade, and maybe the Rooneys let him go.

Racism still exists. DEI still exists. We'll let you know the new acronym later.

Yeah, we figured that out a while ago, secrets out.

Trump, Winning.

Maybe Kneelers and fans get to be winners as well.

If the Rooney Rule is designed to guarantee that there is minority representation in the interview pool... would you eliminate it if the job goes to the best qualified based on merit?

How do you measure merit for a head coaching job?

The same way you determine merit anywhere else, resume, record, experience, personality, etc.

So what's the problem with the Rooney Rule if its focused on expanding the interview pools?

The pool doesn't matter if the cream rises to the top, right?

And if the cream happens to be a minority, is this a problem?

It works that way with the NFL players too right?

In positions where Caucasians, Asians, Latins are underrepresented they are invited for a mandatory try out, right?

Why or why not?

This may actually be an argument for the end of Rooney rule. There are now many instances of minority “candidates” that don’t have a chance getting interviewed so the team can check a box.
I don’t mind the Rooney rule. I just don’t like Art Rooney’s passive BS with his coaching staff.
