603. Did the N.F.L. Solve Diversity Hiring? (Part 1)

  • Sumário

  • The biggest sports league in history had a problem: While most of its players were Black, almost none of its head coaches were. So the N.F.L. launched a hiring policy called the Rooney Rule. In the first episode of a two-part series, we look at how the rule succeeded — until it failed.
