NFL Teams Mock Diversity Rule
(Sacramento Bee) — The phrase “rules are meant to be broken” doesn’t apply to the NFL. But “rules are meant to be hoops to jump through” might. You’ve seen the “Rooney Rule” invoked recently, particularly in reference to the 49ers’ search for a general manager. Owner Jed York interviewed Tony Softli, a former St. Louis Rams executive. But not really. Softli is African American, so York met the NFL’s Rooney Rule requirement of interviewing someone who’s a minority. Dispensed with that, now on with the show. In Dallas, for his head coaching job, Jerry Jones is interviewing receivers coach Ray Sherman, a candidate he isn’t taking seriously. But he gets the obligation out of the way.
