It is sad this is even an issue anymore, there should be no rule.

Come on guys. Like Possessed said. You have to read between the lines.

It's 100% a black thing. Jesse Jackson basically threatened the league with all kinds of bull****

unless they did this. And yes it a total joke, and I would think, insulting to black people.

I don't think it has to be an African American, the way I understand it is a minority...

He is an ass. Sure, he means well, but he goes way overboard. People now make race out to be an issue, even when it isn't.

I agree it is just more insulting than anything.
Well, if Cavemen count then our interview of Rob Ryan will satisfy the Rooney rule.

Would Norm Chow or Tom Flores satisfy the rule? Not the way it was intended,

but I think Sith's right, they'd have to let it go..
