Show Notes
Floridas Attorney General challenges NFLs Rooney Rule, deeming it violates state civil rights law by mandating diverse candidate interviews for top jobs. The rule, which includes incentives for hiring diverse candidates, is criticized for classifying applicants by race or sex. The move escalates Floridas broader fight against diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. The timing is significant, following this offseasons hiring that left only one minority head coach out of ten openings. The NFL remains silent, as owners of Floridas three teams receive the letter.
