About the book
The beacon of racial opportunity which is the National Football League (NFL) inclusive of 32 professional football teams have advanced beyond racially plagued issues related to African American athlete player representation and position segregation. However, when it comes to employing Black men as head coaches, the National Football League has continuously been engaged in contesting Blacks’ equitable humanity.
