“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

Tonight I have my remote working overtime going between the NFL Draft and the NBA Playoffs. What a night for us sports fans.  So of course I am watching Roger Goodell bear hug all the draftees when they come on stage to welcome them to the NFL.

It is a great great day for all these young men. A dream come true to play in the NFL. Coming up playing pee-wee football as a start and now they are going to be instant millionaires playing against players who maybe was their idols growing up. Maybe they had their picture on their wall at home. It is great to see how happy these fellas are. Also it crazy to see how disappointed players are when they are sitting with there family and friends waiting to be hear their name.

But readers I am also bothered by this issue. This past off season their was a grand total of ZERO African Americans hired as a head coach or GM in the NFL. O out of 18 openings readers and this is a problem. Right now their are a grand total of TWO African American head coaches in the NFL. The Steelers and Vikings are the only teams in the NFL with a African American head coach. The is why?

Are their African Americans that have served their dues in college and the NFL? YES! So what is going on folks? Heck this off season a coach was hired to be a head coach from the freakin CFL aka Canadian Football League. Again what is going on? Something is wrong. Goodell said he is going to look into this problem just like Major League Baseball said they will look into the problem of why the amount of African American players have went downhill big time.

So as I watch this these young fellas getting drafted to play football in the NFL on the field, something wrong is going is going on in the front office and sidelines. Let’s see what Goodell will do about this problem.
