Racist Media: NFL coverage.

It might just be me, but does pointing out that both coaches of the two superbowl-bound teams are African American do any good for America?

It seems that pointing it out (I've heard it mentioned only like 50 times between ESPN and news networks) just reinforces racism and does nothing to aleviate it.

Isn't it enough to point out that they are both great coaches? Why do they need to be two, great, BLACK coaches? That doesn't change anything does it?

*edit* I mean, if one coach was from Brazil would the media be like "zOMG a Brazilian coach is going to the super bowl whoopee!!!!!"

its just the fact that there are only a handful of black head coaches in the nfl and just so happens that two of them have made it to the big show and that is a big accomplishment, and on another note **** im glad peyton finally gets a shot at it

actually it just means that the white coaches need to work harder next year.

How come all the guys that run with the ball are black and all the guys that throw the ball are white?? This is a serious question I don't know jack about football just an observation.

How is that an accomplishment? Last time i checked teams hired coaches on purely success based and financially driven motives. It's business.
