It appears it just went into effect in 2021. The Rooney Rule | NFL Football Operations

I kind of wonder why they don't question why the league is 70% black when the population is roughly 13% black. Is there any out reach to get more white, Hispanic, and Asian kids involved in football?

When I interviewed for the job I have now, I knew I wasn't going to get it. There was a woman who was the daughter of the HR exec screening for the role and friends with the hiring manager that was interviewing. I still went on the interview. As I expected, I wasn't offered and this other person was. However, she accepted another position and I was then offered the job. Sure I was their silver medal but I'm still getting paid just the same.

I believe the Rooney rule now is an NFL team has to interview two minority candidates and they cannot already be on the team. In that case, Flores would then have been a Rooney rule interview.

A state like Texas would go from 36 districts to 50 under the Wyoming rule. The problem is, it would be hard to gerrymander all those districts and Democrats would surely make gains in Texas. Republicans would rather spite their state to maintain power.

It would seem like it would be harder to gerrymander smaller districts than larger districts as well.

Liz Cheney represents about 576,000 people. If California was divided up into districts of 576,000, it would have at least 68 congressional districts and 70 electoral votes. It currently has 52 congressional districts and 54 electoral votes.

Probably the best way to solve that is to expand the house to 500 reps. That would likely result in a state like California getting more reps and more electoral votes making it more fair.

With a popular vote, Democrats would also campaign in Tijuana and Juarez since they rely on that illegal vote.

I also think even Democratic strongholds would see more attention by Democrats. You think a Democrat wouldn't at least make a stop or two in Chicago to make sure they are maximizing the vote there?

Why are those Americans more important than the people in California, Texas, Florida, and New York? If there vote counts more than Kevin McCarthy, Devin Nunes, and Elise Stefaniak votes should count less in congress.

Well Biden got over 5 million votes in Texas who had one of the lowest voter turnouts in the country. I have to imagine Democrats would campaign heavily in Texas. Trump got over 2 million votes in Illinois. Surely he would spend some time there as well. Most of the same battleground states would still be in play like Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan and probably Georgia. Millions of votes still there for those states, but New Hampshire would be less relevant so we have to scrap the popular vote.

I'm of the opinion if they feel one of these QBs is a future franchise QB and appreciably better than Goff, they should take him 2nd. If the QB isn't worth taking 2nd than he likely isn't a franchise QB.

Donald Trump got more votes in California than in any other state. You're telling me Republicans wouldn't start campaigning in California if it were a national popular vote?

It should be noted that the Dolphins GM is black.

I wish the Texans would offer him a job. Even though the Texans would be the worst opening, he would be stuck as his lawsuit would lose credibility.

Those were my exact thoughts. He seems to be proving why the Dolphins fired him. Now he's suing teams from before he got hired by the Dolphins.

It's not like Flores was interviewing to replace a black head coach that Elway had hired previously. Oh wait...

I want to know how Bill Belichick knew who the Giants were hiring? Is this another spygate?

It's also Bill Belichick who has no affiliation with the Giants so I'm not sure how his text can hold up as proof that the Giants only brought him as a token candidate.

They did interview Leslie Frazier before Daboll but I believe the rule is you need to interview two minorities.

The Giants allegedly already decided to hire Daboll before bringing in Flores. Basically, they never had any intentions of hiring Flores and were just bringing him to satisfy the Rooney rule. I'm not sure it is racists per say, but it does seem to violate the Rooney rule.
