Like I’ve already said, maybe coaching is a profession that white people are more likely to gravitate towards. I think teaching in general is a very white profession, so it makes sense. Maybe, would be hard to get data but would be interesting to know re levels of applications, and then obviously why would white people be more likely to gravitate towards the profession. I can't think of an obvious reason but perhaps there is one

Maybe white people are better at it for whatever reason, just like blacks are better on the field? Again, question is why would that be? I come from a family of teachers and to be honest there's no obvious characteristics they share that suggest to me why they'd be good at teaching (some of them might not be tbh!)

Why is it being disproportionate only relevant when it’s disproportionately white? Why is it immediately due to racism if it’s disproportionately white? What would be disproportionately black that isn't scrutinised? Number of players would be one presumably. In which case I wonder if it's because there are a lot more objective measurables when it comes to playing the game. Obviously with coaching there's win ratio etc. but the process of getting to those wins is murkier. I can kind of see what Sorensen's athletic profile is and tbh, I hope I never see it again.

Why does nobody talk about there being more black GM’s over the last couple of years? Why aren’t they hiring these black coaches that aren’t getting opportunities? Good question

What teams specifically are racist? I feel like there are fans from every team that will say the NFL is racist, yet they would probably argue their team isn’t one of them. Almost certainly true. I imagine I'd set the bar much higher for believing the Chiefs were racist in some way

Let’s get specific if we’re going to make those kind of accusations? Are the Chiefs a racist organization?
