We saw history last Sunday in the Super Bowl. And I’m not talking about yet another discussion of Tom Brady’s ring count (talk to me when he matches Bill Russell’s total).
No, the Super Bowl was historic because of the Buccaneer’s coaching staff: three Black coordinators, a Black assistant head coach and two women coaches.
Why is the makeup of most NFL teams’ coaching staffs not similar - if not in representation to the league, but at least to the country as a whole? After all, 70% of NFL players are people of color (2019 season), and women still make up 50% of the population.
