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

"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?

      I understand why your brain translates "cool, calm, and collected" into a pejorative like "boring milquetoast" since you're genuinely the polar opposite of cool calm and collected, as someone who awkwardly escalates every innocuous statement into multi-paragraph performative rants as if someone just slapped your mother.  I assure you that well-adjusted people do not consider that to be an insult in the real world...not ass-backwards Internet Land where it's cool and trendy to be a Debbie Downer and being "too positive" is thrown around as a slur.  I remember you bragging about taking two days away from these boards as if that was a big accomplishment for you, which was eye-opening to say the least.  I genuinely hope this is just some internet character you're playing, because the way you act on these boards would be objectively so off-putting in the real world.  I've known a couple people like this and it's always incredibly socially awkward and sucks the energy out of the room; these are the people who don't get invited out to social events. But instead of properly absorbing and learning from these social cues in person, you're being enabled by your fellow gloomy weird internet friends here which only encourages you to spend more and more of your time online to get the approval you crave.  Just some life advice, my friend...since I'm assuming you are very young.  Don't spend all of your time in here.  There's a whole world out there with real people and meaningful connections.  And despite what the internet has taught you, being pleasant is a good thing. Btw it's really interesting how you ignored this part and instead honed in on a singular 2-second moment that I referenced and saying that I "summed him up" that way.  But hey, this is ass-backwards Internet Land after all.
