The Bodda Getta

Yes, I would. Especially if I didn't have a legitimate shot at getting the job.

The only reason it may be a touchy subject is because people continually bring up the "race" issue. If we all quit focusing on it then it would no longer be a touchy subject. I'm just saying...WDE!

if you think black candidates are starting 30 meters ahead because of affirmative action, then you need to read up on some US history. That 30 meters gets them closer to the starting line but not ahead of it. The success of the Rooney Rule coaches shows that there were more than enough quality black coaches that never got a shot from years past. For every Mike Tomlin of today, how many in the past could have done the same but didn't get a shot because of the old(white) boy network? It wasn't that long ago that black QBs weren't considered to have what it takes to play that position in the NFL and certainly not what it takes to get to the Super Bowl. Don't know your age but I remember when james Harris was a novelty at QB and Doug Williams and the doubts that accompanied them simply because they were black and the 'rep' they carried that they wouldn't or couldn't be pocket passers or didn't have the intelligence. That's fairly recent history. That kind of stuff doesn't disappear overnight because the nation elected a black man twice as President.
