Can you point me to an article or a study that backs that theory up? I disagree with that completely. People may "hang out" or be "friends" with people that look and act like them but NFL owners aren't putting their billion-dollar franchise in the hands of someone because he looks and acts like him. If they were going to use race as a qualifier they would choose black because most of the players are black and that's who the HC needs to communicate with.
