'Rooney Rule' placed under legal microscope, on and off the field

With nine minority head coaches lined up to lead NFL teams in 2024, the Rooney Rule is having one of its best years ever.

The question now is whether the hiring practice - and its progeny in corporate America - will stay in the game much longer amid a wave of legal challenges to workplace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. On Tuesday, a conservative legal nonprofit filed a federal civil rights complaint against the NFL, alleging that the rule is illegal.

“If the National Football League truly wants to end discrimination in the employment process, then the NFL should stop discriminating in the employment process, follow the meritocratic system it displays on the field, and eliminate the Rooney Rule,” said Ian Prior, a senior adviser with America First Legal, the nonprofit founded by former Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller.

Through a spokesperson, the NFL said that it looks “forward to responding to this complaint and demonstrating that our policies and programs are fully consistent with the law and with fundamental notions of fairness.”

...is just Tulsa or Rosewood without the killing...but the results will be the same. People of color will be put back to square one and have to refight the war of equal rights, again and again!

Stephen Miller is nothing more than a racist and a bigot. Something twisted lives inside of him...
