I don't follow football, but I do watch the superbowl, and I frequently see teams with black head coaches on the field.
It's easy to pretend there are no barriers, or that the barriers are related to talent, but whether YC is biased or not (I don't think it is), this says a lot about how much we lose as a society when talent goes untapped for no good reason.
- Rariel 16y agoJust an FYI, only 4 black coaches have ever coach in the superbowl. Maybe you're watching reruns?
- birken 16y ago5 of the last 10 superbowl coaches were black. 2011 - Mike Tomlin, Steelers 2010 - Jim Caldwell, Colts 2009 - Mike Tomlin, Steelers (won) 2007 - Tony Dungy, Colts (won) & Lovie Smith, Bears Before 2007 no black head coach ever coached in the super bowl.
- Rariel 16y agoAh, I was off by one.
