Well, I have a different opinion on that subject. I absolutely detest racism - in any form - in fact, had a huge rift with a member of my family over her racism. But I also dislike screams of racism when it is not appropriate. No one seems to point out that the REAL plum jobs in the NFL (the HIGH PAYING jobs with the most opportunity for FAME) are probably manned by 60-80% minorities. If they are going to even ATTEMPT to get the coaching ranks in a ratio that reflects the overall population, then they should be attempting to do the same thing in the player ranks. I really think all this noise Jesse Jackson and others are making about NFL racism (and the POOR way it is being handled re: coaches) is totally ludicrous and disgusting.
