Have never had a majority black owner. it is about the lack of representation in the c suite level among front office personnel, with black coaches. it is about the fact that just a few months ago, the nfl stopped race norming with the head trauma issues that are in the league. like, this league has a problem. it is racist. and there is just no other way to say it. and they can deny it all that they want to, but we see it happening and unfolding and have seen it happen for years now. is the bar set, in your opinion to a different standard for the few black coaches that there are out there? because i ask, you look at flores record, and he won eight of the last nine games for the team, right? and yet a lot of people puzzled why he was let go. the texans head coach, he was fired this year, he had only been working there for one year with the team. really not given much of an opportunity to turn that team around. do you think there is a
