Progress

Since when has it become okay to root against a Black head coach in the NFL?
It wasn't long ago that many Blacks would back any team with a Black quarterback - but a Black head coach would outrank a Black quarterback.

Ever since Obama became President, many in the media seem to have taken a closer look at talent and less so of ones race.
Until recently, I had no idea there were so many Black newscasters on national news shows.
It's odd - Black people can be experts on more things than just being Black?
Who could have known?

Sure, Tomlin and Dungy have already won the big game - but wouldn't a third Black head coach only seal the deal?
Isn't it progress when we can root for a team because we like them without having to worry about race?
