NFL will require teams to hire women offensive coaches in ramped-up woke crusade

The National Football League has officially moved to force teams to add minority assistants to offensive coaching staffs, an announcement made on Monday as owners gathered in Florida for the league’s annual meeting.

In revising its Rooney Rule which was created to encourage the hiring of minorities, the NFL expanded the definition to include women in more of the same virtue signaling that has become the league’s trademark in recent years under the leadership of Commissioner Roger Goodell who has been successful in diluting the brand which was long associated with American patriotism into one of the nation’s most preeminent megaphones for the “woke” revolution.

All 32 teams will be required to add “a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority,” to coaching staffs beginning with the upcoming 2022 season, a development that followed yet another year of frustration over the lack of filling open head coaching positions with black candidates; only two minorities were hired this offseason during the annual churning, frustrating Goodell who said the NFL “fell short” of promoting diversity.

“… We’re not having the success we want with head coaches,” Goodell said in an interview last month at SoFi Stadium, the site of the Super Bowl. “How do we evolve that rule, or do we have to have a new rule? Do we need to find some other way of being able to achieve that outcome? I think we’re not going to rest until we find that, until we get those outcomes that are mandatory for us to move forward and have an inclusive league.”

Racial pot-stirrer in chief  Joe Biden also bemoaned the lack of black head coaches in an interview that aired prior to Super Bowl LVI.

“Think about it: The whole idea that a league that is made up of so many athletes of color, as well as so diverse, that there’s not enough African American qualified coaches to manage these NFL teams — it just seems like a standard that they’d want to live up to,” the POTUS said. “It’s not a requirement of law, but it’s a requirement I think of just some generic decency.”

The adjustment comes after former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores who is black sued the NFL and three teams, alleging that he was the victim of racial discrimination after he was fired by the team which likely undermined his efforts to get another head coaching spot. He was eventually hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers as a member of Mike Tomlin’s staff.

According to the league’s announcement on the tweaking of the Rooney Rule, “Clubs will receive reimbursement from a league-wide fund towards the coach’s salary for up to 2 years.”

“It’s a recognition that at the moment, when you look at stepping stones for a head coach, they are the coordinator positions,” Steelers owner and NFL Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee chairman Art Rooney II said, according to ESPN. “We clearly have a trend where coaches are coming from the offensive side of the ball in recent years, and we clearly do not have as many minorities in the offensive coordinator [job].”

The league also announced the formation of a new committee that will review its diversity hiring practices.

“Today, the National Football League announced the creation of the NFL Diversity Advisory Committee, following its pledge last month to retain outside experts to review the league’s diversity policies and practices,” according to a news release. “The six-member committee will lend its expert, external perspective on industry best practices and will evaluate league and club diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies and initiatives, including all hiring processes, policies and procedures, with a primary focus on senior-level coach and front office personnel positions.”

The committee will provide “comprehensive recommendations” to the NFL upon completion of the evaluation.

Not everyone cheered the news.

Over the last several years under the stewardship of Goodell, the NFL alienated millions of loyal fans by allowing supporters of America-hating militant ex-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to disrespect the flag with protests during the national anthem and in 2020 following the unfortunate demise of career-criminal George Floyd who was killed during an arrest, took up the cause of the Black Lives Matter movement at a time when cities were ransacked and burned during violent riots.

There is no end in sight to the league’s crusade to promote leftist politics either.

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport indicated that forcing teams to hire minorities won’t be the only move, tweeting that a “push for diverse ownership” is coming with the focus being on exerting pressure to put teams under minority control, specifically the Denver Broncos, a franchise that is currently up for sale.

Gone are the days when the NFL served as a unifying experience for all Americans regardless of race, color or creed now that social engineering has become more important than the games.

  1. I’ve always said that the NFL needs to more closely adhear to the racial and ethnic make up of our country. So….lets get to the point where blacks make up 13% of the roster. Who cares if they are actually the best players. Abstract Progressive/DemoKKKrap agendas are what’s important.
    KAG Trump 2024 (or sooner)

  2. So now the NFL is doubling down on putting themselves out of business? Although I might start watching them again if they hire attractive women offensive coaches providing they are required to play offensive tackle for a minimum of 10 years to earn their coaching creds.

  3. World sports leages like NFL secretly recommeding Ivermectin to their players. Who knows what is out there that recommeds this wonder drug while appearing as provax pro vaxxine cult. It is the trick of Satan. Do your own research and you will see the truth. Trust God and let Him direct you to truth. It is not easy to get this medicine because they are trying everything to block people accessing it. If you want you can get it from ivmcures.com

  4. Personally I think the NFL should be required to hire a female commissioner.

    can anyone say “Condi” with me?

  5. Lighten up people. The die has been cast. We got a POC for VP because Joey is a racist and he demanded that his VP be a POC. Of course, as the country has seen, she isn’t worth a pile of crap, but that’s fine with the Democrats. There’s no accountability for Democrats to actually do the job they get paid to perform. We will soon have a POC on the Supreme Court, supposedly female, but she can’t define what a woman is, so she might be like Lia Thomas. But that’s fine, once again Joey is playing the race card and the racist Democrats are fine with that. So the NFL is now going out of its way to be racist, nothing new here. They have always been racist, that’s why the players are predominantly POC. Maybe as they continue down the DIE path we might even see some Hispanics or Asians on the roster.

    Get used to it, welcome to Brandon’s world.

  6. Here it comes.
    Bunch of men forced to identify as women to go around this stupidity.

  7. NFL really is doing their best to make that into a statement (No Fans Left). Goodell needs to learn “go woke, go broke”. Since Casperdick kneeled with no penalty, it has been no NFL on my TV. Now they are trying for a lifetime ban, and it looks like they are going to get it. FJB

  10. Obviously they need to require each team to start at least 4 or 5 woman on offense and 4 or 5 on defense. It is the equity thing to do. They should be black of course!

    1. What the NFL really needs are white players, not women coaches, not black coaches. The coaches need to be the best, not the blackest or most feminine, just the best. It doesn’t matter anymore, I will ever watch another professional football game,period

  12. Just find a woman of color and call her coach, pay her a lot so you can virtue signal. Then get a real coach to do the work. Kamila is a perfect example.

  13. Because women have so much experience playing high-level football?

    And by the way – how are they defining “women”?

  14. So which one of the male coaches are going to start identifying as a woman?? It is perfectly acceptable to the woke crowd.
