Why is black the highlight for Superbowl 41 .?

Question

Is the relivance of both coaches being black in superbowl 41 such a factor , or do you belive that the medea has popularized this . I would belive that it will be only a matter of time that African Americans have been able to do anything at least once .. There was a time not too long ago that they were not allowed to do have the leadership rolls in our country . The times have started to catch up with the right to all Americans . Is it really that big of a deal ... ?

Answer 1

First time a black coach has made the big game . . . now they need the first black owner. Now that would be a real accomplishment. The work of Smith and Dungee is taking away from the accomplishment of their teams. This is not their fault though, the media is playing the race card again for ratings.

Answer 2

Well, the first time any minority does anything substantial for the first time, it will be a big deal.

But aside from that, the fact that two AfrAm coaches are in the bowl is sort of a key moment in time that denotes that African Americans are gaining more opportunities, and perhaps times are changing. There are only 5 black coaches in the league today, despite 70% of players being black. This discrepancy raises questions about the lack of coaching opportunities and whether or not race has something to do with it.

That's all.

Answer 3

It shouldnt matter. We are all part of the HUMAN race, regardless of what we look like, where we came from, or what we believe in.

Only those who wish to promote division, bigotry, and hatred speak about "racism". Only those type of people want to classify people as to what they look like, where they are from, what they believe in, etc. Classifying people like this only creates further division.

These "bigoted" people play this game simply because they benefit from it. If someone with dark skin is accused of a crime, doesnt get the job they want, or something doesnt go the way they want, they claim "racism" even though we are all the same "race". The sad thing is that the US government has condoned bigotry and sexism through affirmative craption, giving people preferential treatment based on their gender, the way they look or the way they believe. This is bigotry in its purest form.

Even the NFL promotes division and inequality. The NFL rules state that when a team is interviewing for head coach, they must interview a "minority" candidate. So if I am an owner and have Parcells, Cowher, Gruden, and Bilichick to pick from.....I must interview someone else. How ludicrous. The chance at this position should be based on ability, experience, leadership, etc. The color of a persons skin has NOTHING to do with this.

Congratulations to Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith, I am very happy for them. They reached this point in their careers based on their merits and abilities. The way they look has NOTHING to do with this. They are no more African than a pale skinned redhead. They are Americans, plain and simple.

If I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and the last 3 generations of my family were in South Africa, would I then not be classisifed as "African-American" by the bigoted media? Nope. Bigotry, hatred, and division. Sickening.

Answer 4

Media has to find several storylines that they can use and I suppose this is rather compelling, especially since there has never been a single black coach in the super bowl, and now they both are.

Answer 5

The Colts defeated the Bears in super Bowl 40-one. you need to characterize who would be in super Bowl 40 two. i might choose to work out the Jets and Giants interior the super Bowl, even however they won't make it.

Answer 6

is tony dungy even black? I don't think any self respecting homey would think so

Answer 7

It is big news,the reason being it will probably never happen again !!
