I wasn't trying to offend or insult, perhaps i'm not very educated in these kinds of things, despite once being an aspiring actor (and auditioning for TV once or twice!) Doctors?

Duvel 2,446 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The Rooney rule was set up to try and overcome implicit racism in the NFL. It was thought for years that black players didn't have the intelligence to play in the quarter back position or to be a head coach at the top level. Like I said it is implicit racism/prejudice, people don't even realise they have these views. By creating the Rooney rule it forced general managers in the NFL to interview at least one black candidate. This gave those candidates a chance to sell themselves and their ideas and prove to privileged white men that black people had the intelligence and skills to do the job. Look at football in this country the people running clubs are still generally privileged white men. How many black managers are given a chance to coach and manager at the highest level. The proportions are so low compared to the ratio of black players. John Barnes has talked about this, he had a chance at Celtic and didn't do very well. After that his managerial career was virtually over. Compare that to some of the same old managers that get employed by club after club despite failing. A number of black players have complained about not even getting a chance to have an interview and share their ideas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

"One of our own" crap None of that stuff is a secret, people just don't want to hear about it on here for some reason. I suppose you could argue that associating himself with a load of lunatics doesn't affect his ability to become a football manager. The other side of that is what it does to the image of the football club. You wonder what stories are going to come out if he does actually get the job as well. Link to post Share on other sites
