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?

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
