In a fair manor?

How about let's first just get those people interviews. That would be a great start.

It's called the Rooney Rule.

We are in 2021 and still majority of FO staff for every team is straight white while the rest of the world has progressed.

What a laughable statement...hahaha!

For example, let's look at the the Washington Redskins:

Front Office (4 total): 50% are black men including both of the top-2 executives. (none appear to be trans)

Office Business Executives (12 total) breaks down as: women (1 black, 2 white) + black men (4) = 58%...white men (5) = 42%. (maybe 1 or 2 trans?)

If you want to see good hiring practices there are plenty examples out there.

Who do you recommend looking at?  Are they mentioned in your previously referenced "study" and "data" set?

Just clarifying.  Relax, it wasn't a trick.

Agreed.

So what's the solution...quotas?  If so, how would you suggest the quotas be achieved?  In your opinion should said quotas be applied across the organization?

Your favorite study and data source?

before we get to solutions, you seem unconvinced by the data. look, all it takes is a google search to find a TON of info on this. but here:

https://www.pnas.org/content/114/41/10870

Quote

Since 1989, whites receive on average 36% more callbacks than African Americans, and 24% more callbacks than Latinos.

there's tons of other examples if you put in some leg work.  but if you don't know this, its because you have chosen to remain blind about the reality.

as to solutions... this article has a few: https://www.livecareer.com/resources/careers/planning/black-job-seekers-face-racial-bias-in-hiring-process

What's your proffered solution?

How do you feel about the staffing breakdown of the 16 executives who constitute the Redskins front-office operations?

lol, 2019 was the lowest score the NFL has gotten since the early 2000s for race and gender hiring.  Thankfully it got better in 2020, but we'll see if that trend holds.

as to my "preferred solution", it is going to depend on the entity in question. you can't make a blanket policy for all positions and all organizations, which is why organizations need to adopt a fundamental goal of diversity as important.

as to the WFT, I don't give a poo about single teams tbh. Look at the NFL as a whole and sports in general.  Look at the percentage of white athletes and look at what positions they hold lol

"what's your data?!?!?!" *ignores meta analysis, finds single NFL organization that is being defacto run by one of the most progressive people in the NFL In Ron Rivera, highlights it* 

You just got sizzled!

"proffered" was the intended word -- you learned something today 😉

Sure appears the Redskins have done a great job there.

This is what the OP stated:  

"majority of FO staff for every team is straight white"

I knew that to be a false statement and didn't have to look any further than the 'Skins (original subject of this thread) to find a graphic example of the opposite!

I suspect the reality is far different than what you believe to be the case.

Very interesting issue here...

...if a template (quota) is going to be applied and the desire is to make NFL organizations from a staffing perspective representative of society on the whole (at least in terms of gender & race, nobody seems to care abt religion)...

...said template (quotas) should be applied top-to-bottom with all employees -- right?

Where did I say that?

You didn't, apologies for the confusion.  

I was referencing the poster I had earlier responded to within the thread.

is diversity a problem for NFL management broadly, or not?

NFL teams employ lots and lots of folks...

...if a template (quota) approach is going to be used the staff the franchise should it be applied to the entirety of the employee base, or not?

      Panthers Blueprint

      Nobody is asking you to root for him.  We (or at least I am) are asking you to stop derailing every single thread by bringing up Bryce Young.  Or feeling the need to put down someone any time they have a positive thing to say about Bryce.  Posters aren't allowed to say anything positive about Bryce around here without you (and some others, but mostly you) right behind them to tell them how wrong they are. And you do this constantly.  Even now with the "clownery" comment.  If people described your posts as clownery, you wouldn't appreciate it, would you? And this isn't me saying that we shouldn't have negative takes about Bryce on this forum, so before you accuse of me of trying to eliminate negative posts about Bryce, that isn't the case at all.  However, to me, it is weird to come into a thread that was about highlighting our offseason/OTAs, and unprompted, you go into bashing Bryce Young.  There are at least 5 other threads on the first page alone where you could have trashed Bryce.  And you know this, because you have in all of them threads. You're a smart guy from what I can tell but your disdain for Bryce has become obnoxious, even if you are right about him.  If a Bryce fan bombarded every single thread to talk about how good they felt he was, you wouldn't like it.  I know this because anytime this discussion happens you bring up "Bryce fanboys".

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By KSpan · Posted

      It's not skewed though, that's just the result of the best QBs being on quality teams resulting in Super Bowls. Those guys are just that good and it's the bar that other QBs and teams have to meet or at least approach in order to compete. That's just how the NFL is these days. Having a dynasty would be great but even just being able to have the stars align and the team perform at an elite level like 2015 would be amazing. Unfortunately though, Cam absolutely played like Superman in elevating that offense to where it was, further supporting the requirement.

      New year? Fresh perspective? You gave up on him. You threw in the towel. Yet now you want to be the first and official word on how to root for him and the Panthers? There's a word for this. Clownery.
