Does anyone else find this offensive?

I honestly feel some black people won't be satisfied until every player, coach, manager, owner, ball boy, referee, cheerleader, assistant, etc is black.

Sure.

There are also some white people that won't be satisfied till there are none.

There's not a lot of either, however, so what the hell's your point?

It's not like they instituted hiring quotas. They've simply required interviews.

Teams are still free to hire whomever they think is best for the job. Sometimes that's a minority candidate. Sometimes not.

This year it was extended to management level hires as well (GM, etc) with the same rules. A good move, in my opinion.

The rule has worked as it was intended, to provide equal opportunity. I really don't see a problem.

The whole point is to grease the wheels to make the ACCESS fair for minorities that were not getting a fair shake at coaching and upper mgt jobs.

I'm not the biggest fan of the cult of diversity, but in this case, it's a strategic way to increase the chances. I have no problem with that.

If a team is dumb enough to hire a coach ONLY because he is black, they will suffer. Same for the team that hires only because he is white.

And it is just an interview.

Sure there is some patronizing that occurs, here, let's interview when we already have someone in mind. So in some cases it's window dressing.

But, there is still that shot that in the middle of the patronizing, that guy wows those doing the hiring and the rest is history.

    • Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too
    • I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents
    • Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
