I think that they are both good coaches that deserve to have their teams in the Superbowl.
It is a big deal that they are both black because it is the first time in the history of football in the USA that there have been two black coaches in the Superbowl.
Sociologists will look at it as an example of equality and equal rights, the way things should really be. We all know that the media just has to make everything a big deal, we are so desensitized by all the information overload we deal with on a daily basis, we probably would not even think about it unless it was practically being shouted from the rooftops. Have a good day and enjoy the Superbowl ! ! ! !

This is history in the making & it will be the first time that two African-American coaches will be in the SuperBowl. And since the game is on February 4th, it's a good way to kickstart Black History Month in this country.

Windy,
In this case I have to totally agree with you. No issue should have been made of it at all.
It is the true racists and dividers that continually point out racial differences in the media, et.al.
Furthermore, I am really sick and tired after all these years of Black Americans being referred to as African-Americans. When do these people become full blooded Americans like the rest of us?
They have shed their Patriotic blood for America's Independence, Liberty and Freedoms since the very beginning, right alongside their Irish, English, German, etc. Patriot friends.
So, unless anyone is a recent immigrant from another country, I think we should drop this racial profiling when referring to our fellow Americans of any race. I personally find it a disgusting and divisive tactic used by ignorant people.
Anyhow, since these men are highly qualified Black American coaches, and did an excellent job all season, I am glad to see their teams make it to "The Bowl". But their skin color doesn't make a bit of difference to me or anyone else I know, including my Black American friends.

I understand the historical significance, but to me they are both great coaches who deserve to be there regardless of race. A coach should be judged by the success of the team he coaches.

I don't care one bit it they are Black, White, Hispanic, Native American, or any other. Obviously they are two of the best coaches in the league. It's a pathetic part of society that we have to make everything a race issue.

I agree with you. I see them as two good, successful coaches, not two black men. I wish people would stop attatching these labels. How are we ever supposed to break down racial barriers?

I feel the same as the first answer above. Even lovie said it himself--he waits for the day something like this wont even get noticed.

It's the first time it has happened in NFL history. What do you want them to do, totally ignore it?
