absolutely. i think it injects candidates way too hatlate in the process. three or four days before a team has to make a decision, so it needs to be amended in some ways. but to blanket call/generalize that nfl teams or executive within those teams are racist is a generalization that will always be wrong because you can't just say that, based on what -- what -- what history has shown us as far as hiring is concerned. and you know this, anderson, because i'm sure you studied it like everybody else. the rooney rule is not working for head coaches but it is working for other parts of nfl hiring. a few years ago, there was one blk general manager in the national football league. now, there are seven, and i think the process is working on the executive level. it still has a lot of work to do on the coachinlevel. but it's -- it's -- i think it's too harsh and too incendiary to say that, just because there aren't enough black head coaches, that teams in the league is racist in general. it's just too generalized. >> one of the points kareem abdul-jabbar was making earlier
