Why did NFL take this long for about-face on 'race-norming'? Add this to its track record of institutional racism.

If it wasn't crystal clear before now, it should be.

There's the fact that in the NFL's over 100 years of existence, only one Black man has held the title of team president.

There's the mostly empty promises of "doing better next year" when it comes to hiring Black and ethnic minority head coaches, coordinators and front office executives, only to see those candidates passed over for others who team owners find most acceptable at their exclusive country clubs.

There's the need for rules mandating interviewing non-white coaches and now an incentive to hiring one.
