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?

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By rayzor · Posted

      the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense.

      Pete Carroll on Canales (New Fox Sports Article)

      By Navy_football · Posted

      The Panthers aren't building a Bryce Young roster. Alabama didn't recruit personnel to fit a Bryce Young scheme. Canales' approach is to build an NFL roster (which they didn't have last season) and then cater his scheme and playcalling to what the players do best. The team is not pigeon holing itself into an offense that doesn't fit any other QB. Their goal this off-season was to provide NFL average or better talent to the offense - period. Very little to do with matching personnel for  Bryce Young's skillset or lack thereof.
