Who would dream of letting the NFL judge its own racism?

The NFL, despite its Rooney Rule designed to promote diversity in hiring, still struggles with minority representation at the top, as a third of owners haven't hired a minority to lead their team in two decades. This ongoing issue highlights systemic racism within the league and questions the effectiveness of self-regulation. The rule's failure to deliver significant change underscores the need for more robust external oversight and intervention to address deep-seated biases. This situation matters because it reflects broader societal struggles with racial inequality and calls for decisive action beyond voluntary measures.
