NFL in hot water again...

It's @Snake we're talking about here. All applies.

I don't know. Snake strikes me as more of a traditionalist. Especially when it comes to defining male/female roles in the workplace and elsewhere within society. I don't get a racist vibe from him.

I love black people!

HA! You're not paying attention then.

My point was this:

I do not think a female head coach would receive the level of respect required from the locker room to be effective in the job at this point in time. The "never taken a snap" element is part of that, but not remotely all.
I didn't say it was fair.
I didn't say a woman is incapable of doing the same coaching things men do.
I didn't say it wouldn't change.
I DID say the NFL will try to push that change forward well before it can happen organically, and I find that ridiculous. And I said it as a female LEO who frequently sees better female LEOs than me called "bitch" for doing their jobs the same way men do, both from coworkers and from perps.

I honestly think the people out there saying "OF COURSE 53 ALPHA MALES WOULD GIVE A WOMAN THE UPMOST RESPECT!" have no goddamn clue what it's like to be a woman in a position of authority, and they're likely trying to overcompensate for their own biases.

"It's gonna be difficult and disruptive"... yeah, no shit sherlock. How much respect do you think Jackie Robinson got from teammates at the start? The first black platoon sergeant? First female marine? The reason these people are trailblazers is because they do what isn't easy.

The only way to 100% guarantee that "alpha males" will never respect a woman in a position of leadership is by never having a woman in positional leadership. You get that? Keeping them from it because "it's gonna be hard" is self-perpetuation and reductive. Everything else starts with the first one. Will they instantly get it? No, but if they are good at it, they'll get it from someone, and we'll be at 99.9% and that's how it starts.

"It won't work so don't even try" has been to gatekeeper's go-to attitude. Do better.

Wow, you really shot down that...quote I didn't say.

You don't understand the difference between explicit and implicit is all.

Stuff like this is why I continually insult you people.

You have likely morphed into an old hipster with a gay lisp in the way you speak irl.

Is this thread about hiring Kamala Harris as Head Coach in the NFL?

HUMOR: I bet a women will be a football coach before Jameis Winston wins a Super Bowl.
