I was listening to a radio the other day, and they were talking about how it was such a great advancement, etc. However, I just don't get it. I can see the first black NFL coach as a door opener, or the first black player in the super bowl as a door opener, but the first time two black coaches play against each other? I consider the super bowl to be about the players in the first place, and the fact that both coaches are black seems arbitrary. What importance does it hold? It just means their team was good--it has nothing to do with them being with held from coaching positions, so why is it so great? I don't understand all of the excitement...

Actually, i really don't pay attention to sports. i understand that the jobs weren't open in the past to them, which was not fair, and i also understand that coaches are important to the team, but i still don't get it. them being able to be coaches is awesome...them being in the super bowl just means they are good at their job, and have good players. basically, i heard somebody on the radio talking about how wonderful and groundbreaking it was, yet for the coaches to be good, there really didn't need to be any groundbreaking...i guess i just think that the groundbreaking occurred when a black person was able to be a head coach for the first time, and not now....lol, i guess what i really want is people's opinions on the subject
