Re: NFL voids stipulation in hasslett's contract
I believe it was Dan Rooney who called the NFL about the Hasslet hiring. Didn't even get to Jesse Jacskon or Al Sharpton. Saw it on ESPN last week or so I think, Rooney's a white male right ? I mean seriously, the rule has gotten out of hand in a way but it's because a lot of Black coaches weren't given a fair shake years before. So do you feel that it is okay to do away with it now because everything is "okay" ? I think it is a good thing to have, especially when during coaching searches the Black interviewee is always referred to as the guy to comply with the Rooney Rule on t.v. Or maybe I shouldnt say always, but sometimes, a lot of times they are. Just my opinion. I think Hasslett should've been allowed the job. I mean he already works for the team. Now if a team is going outside the organization, or it is during the offseason then yeah bring in at least 1 minority and pick your coach. That's what I would do. Goodell fucked up here, not the potential mass protests by Jesse or Al.
