Some will say too much is made out of the lack of black head coaches, that there's no affirmative action in pro sports. That's true enough when it comes to putting the product oh thp fiplH Rut tppn in mind thp NFL is just 37 years removed from the total desegregation of the last all-white team, the Washington Redskins. And that was only because theD.C. Parks Commission threatened to bar the Redskins from playing in the city-owned stadium if owner George Preston Marshall didn't hire black athletes. Affirmative action has its pros and cons, but something is amiss when the NFL catn pro duce only three black -head coaches (now two) and no gener al managers despite African Americans making up 65 percent of its players. It's not about going by some qi^ta to make anyone happy. It's about giving people an opportunity to fail or succeed on their own merits. It's about putting the recy cling bin out to pasture.
