During this Thursday’s episode of Undisputed, FS1 personality Skip Bayless shared his theory as to why there aren’t a lot of Black head coaches in the NFL.
Bayless believes there are NFL owners who aren’t comfortable with a Black head coach.
"I’m going to just boil it down to: These older white owners just aren’t that comfortable with a black head coach because they need to interact, they need to go to dinner with the wives or the significants, or whatever, and they’re just not that comfortable," Bayless said. "When they do have an interview, it’s gonna be a quicker click with a young white hot candidate.
"It’s just culture, it’s just the way life is. And I don’t know how to defeat it, because each of these guys is an independent owner in the umbrella of the NFL."
For the first time in a long time, sports fans agree with something Bayless said.
What do you think Ole Skip meant by his comments?
Is there some truth to what Skip is saying?
