&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Interesting article in the &lt;em&gt;Sun Journal&lt;/em&gt; today talking about the NFL and its &quot;diversity policy.&quot; Really? Seemingly, the league put together not one but three diversity committees to ensure more black coaches. Presently, three of the 32 teams are coached by an African-American. Compare this number&amp;nbsp;to minority&amp;nbsp;representation on the teams: 60 to 70% for most teams. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;So what did these three committees accomplish? They set a process that ensures that at least one minority candidate is interviewed for every coach slot. That he doesn&#39;t get hired is immaterial. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;That the Detroit Lions got fined for hiring a white coach (because no African-American coach wanted to be interviewed after learning that the team had already identified a candidate who happened to be white) is mindless touting of diversity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; So the charade of ensuring diversity is in place. The actual practice? Not so much.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Not surprising then, that these coaches who rise to become prominent sports executives progress to making decisions that don&#39;t reflect&amp;nbsp;diversity in the league.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;As with corporate America, so with national football. Diversity needs to grow from bottoms up. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;To read the complete article, click&amp;nbsp;here.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
