But that didn’t preclude me from interviewing outside candidates. The goal was to find the best candidate. Titans interviewed Doug Marrone in that interview besides Horton and Austin. (I suspect Austin will be a head coach at some point.) Tampa waited to promote Bowles to get clarification of the Rooney rule. Sometimes the rule doesn’t work. But the point is getting the interview. Anytime you get your foot in the door, you have a chance to shine. Honestly if I like one of my employees to fill an opening I almost always give them the shot if they are qualified.

Kagan is a cut above, as is Kavanaugh (despite lying about his drinking history, which was a mistake, should have just admitted to youthful indiscretions, apologized and moved on). Breyer and Roberts were the only two that I'd consider first rate intellects. But that's par for the course for the Court. I have no problem with a President saying they want to appoint a certain demographic to an open seat. I had no problem when Trump said he would appoint a woman. There are eminently qualified people from every background and so having a goal of the Court better reflecting the overall country as a way of separating among all of these qualified people is perfectly fine with me.

Sack that QB Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 1 minute ago, austinfan said: Well, since most elite jobs are obtained through connections, the only way to equalize opportunity is to equalize the people in position to provide those connections. Unfortunately, there is no "right" solution, only ad hoc policies that try to address past injustices while limiting future harm. Look at Silicon Valley, while these are talented people, they also limited opportunities to people in their circle, mostly white engineers who went to Stanford. Now I suspect there's a much wider circle of talent but without access to seed capital and the right connections, they have limited opportunities to compete. Life isn't fair, but that doesn't mean we have to accept systematic inequities as given. But there are no easy answers. I agree that we need to find better solutions to prop up those who are disadvantaged or haven't gotten opportunities. I am a major supporter of equal opportunities. Unfortunately, and again, I don't know if the NFL is going to get here, but I've seen too many institutions take the equality of outcome route, which is just disastrous. Anything from lowering standards of acceptance, getting rid of entrance exams, axing gifted courses in schools, flat out discriminating against certain ethnicities because "there are too many of you," offering free services for select ethnicities only but the rest have to pay full price, etc. Do I think it's likely the NFL will get there? Probably not. Fing with a successful business model too much by owners is unlikely. But I've seen billion dollar corporations cave to vocal minorities of activists before. So it wouldn't be the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb235 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Let me just remind everyone that the blog is reserved for people complaining about the team's black quarterback being handed the starting job because of systemic biases against white people. There are other forums to discuss how systemic biases against white people are costing them Supreme Court justice positions. Please remember to use the correct forum to air your grievances.

No. We are complaining about Hurts being the starter because he is not very good at being a QB. I wanted Watson or Wilson, so I am clearly racist.

Ummm, that's not what he said. That said the rest of your post is true and that's racism. No person should be treated differently (better or worse) or given opportunity because of their race or sex.

BigEFly Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 39 minutes ago, NCiggles said: Well racial disparities in hiring practices are evidence of racism when the candidate pool is otherwise racially diverse. The reality is that every person has biases. Some of those biases are cultural in nature and play out in the form of race based bias. Race isn't a biological reality it is a social construct. What makes a bias racism is when it plays out to deprive people of opportunity based on race. I would agree that sham interviews deprive people of opportunities that they otherwise deserve based on merit. Always did my first interviews by phone. Couldn’t tell race. Not influenced by appearance at all. Influenced by the answers. Influenced by what they told me about themselves as a person. Second interviews were in person. In today’s Zoom and Skype world, I think I would still do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpac55 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 18 minutes ago, Peppersmacks said: How do her credentials compare to Amy Comey Barrett? Did the President announce that he was going to appoint a white female followed by the appointment of Amy Comey Barrett? The problem is the current President said he was going to hire a black woman to the SC. If Ketanji Brown Jackson was the best candidate after a thorough search and interview process then that would be great. However, that's not the case. If you're OK with that thought process and think it's a fair process I'd love to hear why. Forget about white men or women...think about all of the other minority candidates not even considered. I think it's important to remember that black people aren't the only minorities in America but it seems they are the most valuable to people who go by identity politics.
