In other words, at best the rule accomplishes great things, while at worst it causes no damage.

the simple fact is the nfl should let each team hire and fire who it wishes, without forcing (not encouraging) a team to interview someone just becuase of their skin color.
what if the lions decide they want tony dungy to be their next head coach, thats their guy, no ifs ands or buts about it. should the nfl force them to interview a white candidate? why always black and white. why doesn't the nfl go ahead and force each team to interview a hispanic or a female, i mean the whole thing is just a pile of crap. stay outta my buisness.
