It will be really hard to prove that "RACISM!!!" was the reason for any of these things. Deciding who to hire before interviewing all scheduled candidates is not really abnormal, but I guess the Rooney Rule makes it more awkward for the NFL. Losing games, tampering with a QB, etc.... nothing to do with race. Heck, I could see an owner implying that he wants better draft picks, LOL. Wink wink nod nod he said so knowingly.

He was also complaining that all the owners (except publicly owned GB) are white billionaires.
OK, so what?
Is the NFL supposed to create a new owner with properly colored skin?
Why don't some black billionaires (several exist) buy a team?
Shahid Khan - Jaguars
Kim Pegula - BillsBoth people of color, one female, both majority owners of their teams.
There are many minority owners of color.

Is Manning a person of color?

Interesting piece. It covers players, coaches, assistants, execs, etc.

Sarah Isgur and David French did an Advisory Opinions episode on this. They concur it will be hard to win but point out that it’s probably worth a lot of money to the NFL to avoid discovery.
Makes sense, I can’t imagine they want every team’s communication about every “Rooney Rule” interview to be made public. And every team is a co-defendant.
