    Jets hire 1st Muslim Head Coach in NFL

    Is this PC enough ?

    https://www-nbcnews-com.cdn.ampproje...first-n1254149


    The New York Jets hired San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh to be their new head coach, making him the first Muslim to run an NFL sideline, the team announced Thursday night.

    "We've reached an agreement in principle with Robert Saleh to become our head coach," the Jets said in a statement.

    The NFL is in self destruct!

    That is why Coach Ditka recently said they need to leave politics off the playing field and go back to promoting the best players and coaches for the job.

    Being reported that Saleh is bringing along Mike LeFleur as his new Offensive Coordinator. Pretty good stock there.

    (Mike LeFleur is the brother of Matt LeFleur, head coach of the Green Bay Packers.)

    If that were the case, and indeed it might be, then why is this a big story about his religion and ethnicity on NBC and no doubt all the WOKE sports media?


    And BTW the JETS Suck!

    Maybe because this particular hiring is an NFL first? That, in and of itself, is interesting to many people *shrugs*

    Totally agreed on the second statement

    You mean to woke people who are otherwise not interested in football and have no clue. I know how that works and all it does is prove my point.

    Why is this news if not for the Muslim first hire angle?

    This time of year the teams not in the playoffs start a hiring process and so what?

    The firing and hiring of coaches across all collegiate and pro sports is news for that audience. The coaches religion is irrelevant.
    One can be sure that he who says he knows knows nothing
