About
The framework of examining the black athlete and black coach from the starting point of the 1975 Boston Red Sox with the "gold-dust" twins to the NFL where "winning" does not matter if you are a black Head Coach-- National Football League is made of 70% of black players but only 5% of Head Coaches or General Managers are black. NFL is known as the most "competitive" league. It will become the most competitive league when the league adopts a "combine" to coach in the NFL--Jerry Rice's kid is not playing in the NFL- but Bill Belichick's son is in the NFL - Nathaniel Hackett Kyle Shanahan Steve Belichick all have "family" ties and Brian Flores with 25 wins with Miami Dolphins can get bypassed by the NY Giants(never have a black HC) or a Lovie Smith/ Tony Dungy can have a combined 27-5 win/ loss record and owners will not 'copycat" that winning formula- Sean Mcvey's of the LA Rams paper boy can get a job in the NFL because success is "blueprinted" unless your skin is black
